Thumbing through the latest Motorhome magazine and this month's RV review is of a Fleetwood Jamboree 30D Class C. The article goes on about the "plentiful storage in the bedroom", "spacious cabinets above the jackknife sofa", and "extraordinary amount of outside storage" along with "sleeping for seven to 10". Looks like a nice rig - one little problem: "with water and LP-gas tanks full with no supplies onboard ... the rear axle was overloaded by 60 pounds." This is with no one onboard and every cabinet and storage compartment and refrigerator empty!
As if this wasn't enough, the rear hydraulic jacks are just 4 3/4 inches off the ground when fully retracted, and they "came into contact with the ground" during the test drive.
Absolutely pathetic for any RV manufacturer, let alone one of the largest. And this spiffy Class C, with a Realistic Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity of less than zero, and jacks that drag on the ground anywhere except a Walmart parking lot, can be yours for just $129,223.
Unbelievable.
