Looking at late model class A gas. I know that both Fleetwood and HR are owned by REV but are they made at the same plant? Any material differences in construction or support?

No difference. Built in the same plant side by side. About the same difference as G M and Chevy.

So, they both have the same construction and components? Fleetwood has had the aluminum framing and interlocking wall/celling construction for quite a while. I was not aware that HR was the same, or is it?
Just curious.

I know that if you look at the FW Flair and HR Admirals they appear to exactly the same. Heck the HR and Fleetwood websites are the same for the most part.

All of the construction material and processes are the same now that REV owns both Fleetwood and HR. Walls, floors, chassis common through out. AS a matter of fact, my Magna Shade fits my son's Excursion as even the windshields are the same.

Looking at the Web sites, it does make sense, as it cuts down on inventory of different types, and different construction processes. Fleetwood had had the interlocking wall/ceiling construction since 1999, or before, I don't recall now. The HR website is kind of like a stepchild, as the explanations are not as in depth. If you didn't see any manufacture ID the units, you could not tell them apart. There are probably some things the HR did, the Fleetwood incorporated into their lines, and vice versa.

We recently bought a 2018 HR Vactioner 35K. The difference between it and the Fleetwood 35K was the Fleetwood had an over the driver area bed, a free standing dinette table and some trim differences, plus the Fleetwood was $5000 more.
