Tour of our 1994 Fleetwood Flair Motorhome. "An Oldie but a Goodie."

You can save thousands of dollars in the long run by buying a quality used RV. My wife and I saw this limited floor plan at an annual RV show in 1994 and 1995. Of coarse it was new, over priced, and unaffordable, but as the years went by we became fans. RV's are like pets: They can't always sit around, they need to be run, and they just need someone to take care of them (TLC).
