Howdy!

We just bought a brand new Fleetwood MH. We should be picking it up Wednesday if the alignment is completed. First time Class A rig owners. Always had a Class C rig. I feel like I have some new things to learn but hopefully my experience with Class Cs will make them minimal. Anyway, just wanted to make an introduction as this is my first post on this forum as well. It is good to see a Fleetwood sub forum, I'm sure I'll be asking some questions soon enough.

We got the 2010 Ecounter 32BH, Ford V10 362hp. We almost bought the 2010 Fleetwood Bounder Classic 35S. The 35S was another $16,000 when we settled on the 32BH.

As financing was being done the next day, we noticed the 35S dropped another $10,000 and we contemplated switching rigs. Believe it or not, comparing the two, the 32BH had more standard equipment e.g., 15000 Btu AC versus 13,500 for the 35S.

In the end, I didn't want to deal with the additional $6,000 since the bank had already approved the loan for the 32BH's price. Add that to seeing the upgraded options on the 32BH, we chose to stick with it. This is only our 2nd rig. Last year we bought a Class C and now our first Class A. We'll get the dream rig in a few years.
