Hi everyone, new member to the forum. My wife and I should be picking up our new class a motorhome, a 1999 Fleetwood Flair 34D, this weekend. We are excited to get it and start putting our own personal touches on it while we enjoy the heck out of it this summer.

We are no strangers to camping. My wife did quite a bit growing up, but not in anything like this. I grew up camping as well, my parents started with a popup, then moved to a Sprinter Mallard, then a Dutchman when a slide out became a necessity, and retired after I graduated high school with the purchase of a large class c with 2 slide-outs.

We did not intend things to happen this way, but we seem to have an affection for the Fleetwood Flair. This isn't because we are rabidly brand-loyal or specifically look for Flairs. It just so happens that this Flair was in our price range and offered the extra space we needed along with all the other amenities. I looked at Bounders and several other brands, but none were in our price range. We actually have another Flair as well, a 1994 that I think is 27ish feet long with no slide-out. My in-laws will be purchasing it so they can camp with us.

We are both teachers and have 4 little kids who also love to camp, so we are looking forward to a fun and exciting summer with our new RV.

Hopefully the pics below work; they are from the listing and I only chose to put a handful up as there are 20+ pics in the listing.
