Dont buy fleetwood,,,,,,,,,,,,,, unfortunately I am stuck with a 2007 providence and took it in for a recall notification from fleetwho and found out they wont honor the notice. Called fleetwho and of course no satisfaction, just balony about they are a different company after bankruptsey and dont have to honor the recalls , as they were not part of the deal.

Probably the same people who owned fleetwood now own fleetwho and legally they can stick it to the customers and the folks they owe money to and its all legal.

Dont buy fleetwood………………..
