Fleetwood Enterprises

Thank goodness Fleetwood went BANKRUPT. No one should have to go through all these troubles. I have owned my Brookfield for 3 years now and have had nothing but problem after problem. I am ready to sell this hunk of junk and buy a real home.

I bought a 2006 1764 sq ft Entertainer 3 bedroom and have had it for 3 years. The local dealer was where I considered buying. He had one that was a repo and wanted $72000 and it had creased ceiling where each hanger was. Complete ripoff. You got to be careful about dealer selection. I went up north and ordered one without tv,fireplace,fridge,microwave,dishwasher,AC and ordered with dishwasher connection($50) and white kitchen cabinets ($200). All for about $50,500 dropped off at my site. I payed $5600 for a good setup crew. I have not had any major problems but the following.
A warped 2x4 joist hanger. Crew removed roof shingles,paper,sawed out section on top, removed offending warped hanger, put strait hanger in place and finished off roof. No problems since then. Had squeaky kitchen floors and they tightened floor screws but always came back. Fixed door hanging and small problems. After warranty, found leaky roof near master bed vent hole. Found leak in roof near dining window about 1.5 ft out. Traced leak to shingle nail left on roof and stepped on by factory crew causing nail hole. Bathroom leak caused by vent flashing not sealed. fixed with white patch. The nail roof leak would leak on the roof and down the window. Plumbing water supply valves some leaked, some bad. You better look very hard at roof and fixtures for leaks. Use little water on floor as it is not a boat and water could rot floor. I use 409 and pool brush for stains follow by damp mop. I quickly replaced most light fixtures with upgrades. Just about all mobile homes need an eye on any problems especially when it rains. And I do not attach anything to the place. It is just something strong winds can rip off like a sail. So I am generally satisfied. If I did not have a heart attack several years before I would have built one myself like I did in the past.

My husband and I bought our home 8years ago and just recently had to replace the roof. We found the leaks in our home were caused by BAD construction due to the lack of felt paper! There was no felt paper at all under the shingles.The roof was very rotted and we had several leaks throughout the house. Now that fleetwood ent. has gone bankrupt I dont know where to turn but I am looking into it!

I purchased a Fleetwood home in December 2003. Six months later the molding strips started popping off the wall. The door frames on two of the bedrooms have literally fallin apart. The sliding glass door leaks at the floor which has now caused major damage and flooring will have to be replaced. This leak is unseen from the eye.Roof has started to leak at stove vent and in master bathroom (the light fixture filled with rain during last storm).The so called window seals fell off. All door handles have had to be replaced they too fell apart.Oh the roof is suppose to have a warranty on it from fleetwood and now all of a sudden they are saying there is no such thing. If buying a Fleetwood you want to inspect it with a fine tooth comb and start a separate savings so in 5 years you will have the funds to do all the major repairs.

I give 0 stars as I have had nothing but problems with this home. I bought this home from Santiago Sales. I can't any help with all the problems, just nasty attitudes, now I am told the problems are mine soley because Fleetwood is banckrupt!! Time to get an Attorney!

I actually would prefer to give 0 stars. I bought my home from Baird's. They don't want to help me fix the problems in the home that was made in Tennessee. The walls are crooked. The ceilings look horrible. The factory used scrap materials and chopped up pieces all through the house. You don't have to worry about me recommending Fleetwood or Baird's to anyone.

We were introduced to homes at Newmans Mobile homes in Sweetwater Tenn. Kathy Lankford, our sales lady, put no pressure on us & was very helpfun as was Gary Newman. It was a pleasure doing business with them. We bought Sandlewood Model 3403N. We had found a few things that needed to be fixed after delivery & our Fleetwood Rep Alain Berube was very friendly & helpful. He worked with us and when we were in Tenn. saw to it the service men were there. The first trip was Mike & his helper and they fixed what was needed except for a part that had to be ordered. After getting the part and our next trip there Alain had Doug & helper come and they finished up. They did their jobs & we are very pleased with their work. Alain called each time and made sure we were happy.

We just wanted you to know all the above deserve a good pat on the back. We will recomend Fleetwood homes and send people to Newman's. Hat's off to you both! Thanks.
