We purchased a new Southwind 36P from General RV at the Tampa show in January.
We did a complete pre delivery inspection that took over 1.5 hours and tested every system. We made a list of some things we noticed, and made an appointment to bring it back after using it for a week to fix any issues we found.
Other than the clothes dryer being unplugged, and a misalignment of the dinette, no major issues were found. It spent a few hours in the shop and we were back on the road the same day.
Since January we have now spent 180 nights in it and have driven 12000 miles from Tampa to Pittsburg to Alamaba to South Carolina to California and back. On our way home the steps stopped extending, we have scheduled to have them repaired next week. Otherwise we could not be happier and are very pleased with the quality of the workmanship. This is our 5th RV and our third new one and our first Fleetwood after owning Winnebago, Georgetown, and four winds. Overall we have had good luck with new units.
Of course there are always loose screws, adjustments, etc. but that can be expected. We still have four months on the warranty, we will keep our fingers crossed
