MHSRV stocks one of the largest selections of Fleetwood Altitude Class C motorhomes for sale in the country, all backed by industry-leading discount pricing.
The Altitude sits in Fleetwood's Class C category (Fleetwood's other motorhomes, the Bounder, Fortis, and Palisade are Class A gas). It's a fit for buyers cross-shopping value Class C options from Thor, Coachmen, Winnebago, and Forest River who want standard 50-amp service, the oversized 30-inch "mega door" entry, a tankless water heater, and the option of full-body paint at the upper trim level. Four floor plans (27U, 29F, 29H, 31W) cover couples through family travel with the 31W bunk model.
Ford E-450 Chassis
Every Altitude runs the Ford E-450 chassis with the Ford 7.3L V-8 at 325 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, paired with the Ford 6-speed automatic. A 210-amp alternator handles charging.
Chassis weight ratings are consistent across all four floor plans: 14,500-lb GVWR, 5,000-lb front GAWR, 9,600-lb rear GAWR, 22,000-lb GCWR, and a 7,500-lb hitch (750-lb tongue weight on the 27U/29F/29H, 500-lb on the 31W). Wheelbase varies by plan: 194" on the 27U, 214" on the 29F and 29H, 223" on the 31W. Fuel capacity is 55 gallons across the lineup.
Standard 50-Amp Service and Multiplex Controls
The Altitude comes standard with 50-amp electrical service, an upgraded 1,000-watt inverter, and the Precision Circuits multiplex coach controls system that handles lighting, slides, and accessories from a central panel.
Standard 50-amp is a real step above the Class C segment (most competitors come with 30-amp at this price point) and lets you run multiple high-draw appliances at once without load management.
30-Inch Mega Door Entry
The Altitude carries an oversized 30-inch radiused entry door. Fleetwood positions it as the largest radiused entry door in the Class C segment. That's a real quality-of-life differentiator when you're loading gear, groceries, and luggage into a coach that most competitors give you a much narrower doorway to work with.
Construction and Exterior
The Altitude body uses premium-grade Tuff Coat vacu-bonded sidewalls with a Tuff-Ply thermal polyolefin engineered vinyl composite roof and a fully encased aerodynamic front bunk cap. Premium radius-corner high-performance frameless windows run throughout.
Roto-Cast molded luggage bays replace the plywood construction most competing Class Cs use, which is a real durability upgrade for exterior storage. Oversized exterior storage compartments handle gear.
Off-Grid Power and Climate
Standard climate control includes a 15,000 BTU rooftop A/C, a premium tankless water heater, and a 16-gallon propane tank. The tankless water heater is another above-segment spec for Class C.
Interior standard equipment includes durable marine-grade flooring, premium galley appliances, and a residential-style sofa by Apex Custom Furniture. Multiple décor packages and cabinetry finishes are available.
Exterior Finishes
The Altitude is available in nine exterior options: four high-performance vinyl graphics schemes and five full-body paint schemes. The full-body paint upgrade gives buyers a higher-end finish at the upper trim level, unusual for the Class C segment.

What is the Fleetwood Altitude?
The Altitude is Fleetwood's Class C gas motorhome lineup, built on the Ford E-450 chassis with the 7.3L V-8. Standard equipment includes 50-amp service, a 1,000-watt inverter, the 30-inch mega door entry, a tankless water heater, and the Precision Circuits multiplex control system. It's offered in four floor plans (27U, 29F, 29H, 31W).
What chassis is the Altitude built on?
The Altitude runs the Ford E-450 chassis with the 7.3L V-8 at 325 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, paired with the Ford 6-speed automatic. Chassis weight ratings are consistent across all four floor plans: 14,500-lb GVWR, 22,000-lb GCWR, and a 7,500-lb hitch. Wheelbase varies by floor plan (194" on the 27U, 214" on the 29F and 29H, 223" on the 31W).
How much can the Altitude tow?
Every Altitude carries a 7,500-pound hitch. Tongue weight rating is 750 pounds on the 27U, 29F, and 29H, and 500 pounds on the 31W. GCWR is 22,000 pounds. That covers a small SUV, sedan, motorcycle hauler, small enclosed trailer, or compact tow vehicle.
What floor plans does the Altitude come in?
The Altitude is available at MHSRV in four floor plans: the 27U (29'6", Queen Murphy bed with U-dinette and exterior kitchen), the 29F (30'4", 60x75 Queen bedroom with Dream Dinette and dual pass-through storage), the 29H (30'4", 60x75 Queen with U-shaped dinette and rear-galley layout), and the 31W (32'6", 60x75 Queen plus dedicated rear bunk beds, the family bunk plan).
Does the Altitude come with bunk beds?
Yes, on the 31W. The 31W is the family bunk floor plan, with dedicated rear bunk beds plus the standard overhead bunk over the cab. The 27U, 29F, and 29H use the overhead cab-over bunk as extra sleeping space without dedicated rear bunks.
What is the mega door entry?
The Altitude carries an oversized 30-inch radiused entry door. Fleetwood positions it as the largest radiused entry door in the Class C segment. The wider entry makes loading gear, groceries, and luggage easier than most competing Class Cs, which use narrower entry doors.
Does the Altitude come with 50-amp service?
Yes. The Altitude carries 50-amp electrical service standard, paired with a 1,000-watt inverter and the Precision Circuits multiplex control system. That's a real step above typical Class C standard equipment (most competitors come with 30-amp at this price point). 50-amp supports running multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously without load management.
Does the Altitude come with full-body paint?
Full-body paint is available on the Altitude as an upper-trim option, with five paint schemes to choose from. Four additional high-performance vinyl graphics packages are also available at the standard trim level. Full-body paint is unusual in the Class C segment and gives Altitude buyers a higher-end finish option.
Do I need a CDL to drive the Fleetwood Altitude?
No. The Altitude is built on the Ford E-450 chassis with a 14,500-pound GVWR, well below the 26,001-pound Federal CDL threshold. A standard passenger driver's license is sufficient in every U.S. state. Any driver comfortable with a large van or full-size Class C can drive an Altitude.
