Title: Drove a "newer" Class A today.......
Post by: Horst on January 24, 2005, 07:43:29 PM
It was a 92 Fleetwood Flair ( I think) - basically a 24 foot big box Class A, with a fuel injected Ford 460.

Talk about dash rattles, spongy suspension, top-heavy swaying, etc.
And that Ford sure can howl - and it really complains once you start going over 60 - I kept it at 55mph though - and didn't feel right even at that speed!

Made me appreciate my Clipper even more!
I sometimes forget just how well they were made...............

I understand completely Horst. I rented a brand new 31 Gulfstream and drove it to the Grand Canyon a couple of years back. It rattled alot but I thought all RV's were like that.

Then I test drove my Clipper and said that it drove just as good (actually better. With bias ply tires too) as the Gulfstream. That's one of the reasons I bought it. The other reason was when I got on the forum and saw all the support and exicitement of other owners.

So yeah, appreciate the Clipper!
