2005: “Drivers and passenger side windows fogged as well as window behind passenger and one over sink. Slowly I believe they will all fail. I made mike thompson rv aware of the problem on three different occasions, every time saying it is not covered under warranty. I am now out of warranty with no options but to replace at my own cost.”

NHTSA complaint #10396677, filed 2011-04, 15,000 miles

2015: “I am the owner of a 2015 Fleetwood Bounder 35k. I've encountered a problem with the emergency egress windows (2 of 3) in the coach, where the metal closing mechanism detaches from the window glass. The windows are manufactured by hehr and installed on numerous Fleetwood rv products. Once detached, the window must be taped shut to prevent water ingress into the coach, eliminating the use of the egress window for its intended emergency exit function. This is the only solution, pending some type of repair. …”
