The 36Y is the family flagship with the KID KAVE bunk area, power theater seating, a 65-inch Klipsch-equipped TV, and a rear fireplace.
Ford F-53 Chassis (Two Weight Options)
Every Fortis runs the Ford F-53 chassis with the Ford 7.3L Triton V8 at 335 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque, paired with the Ford 6-speed automatic with overdrive. The chassis comes in two weight ratings across the lineup.
The 32RW, 33HB, and 34MB ride on the lighter F-53 (26,000-pound GCWR). The 35R and 36Y step up to the heavier F-53 with a 30,000-pound GCWR and a longer 252-inch wheelbase. Every floor plan carries an 8,000-pound trailer hitch (higher than most Class A gas competitors), an 80-gallon fuel tank, a 210-amp alternator, and 22.5-inch Alcoa aluminum wheels.
Driver Assistance and Cockpit
The dash carries a capacitive touchscreen stereo with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, SiriusXM readiness, an always-on backup camera, two USB inputs, and a push-to-talk button for the driver's phone assistant. Rooftop connectivity comes from a Winegard 360+ antenna with 4G Gateway and 5G readiness.
Adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning are available through the optional Advanced Vehicle Safety (AVS) package (Ford's Driver Assist Technology on the F-53 chassis). Collision Mitigation is a separate factory option. Neither is standard.
Full-Body Paint Standard
Full-body paint is standard on every Fortis floor plan, in five exterior packages. That's a real differentiator in the Class A gas segment, where most competitors either charge extra for full-body paint or reserve it for higher trim levels.
Off-Grid Power
Every Fortis carries a 100-watt rooftop solar panel that trickle-charges the four 6-volt house batteries, a 5.5-kW generator with auto generator start, a 2,000-watt inverter, and 50-amp shore power service.
Exterior
Standard exterior equipment includes a 50-inch exterior LED TV, an exterior entertainment center, and a power patio awning (20 feet on the 34MB, 14 feet on the 32RW and 33HB, 12 feet on the 35R and 36Y). The 35R and 36Y add an exterior kitchenette on the camp side.
Interior and Kitchen
The cabin runs residential sofas from Apex Custom Furniture, the new Villa driver and passenger seats, hand-laid luxury vinyl tile flooring on a full composite tile base, and black MCD blackout shades throughout. The MultiPlex house control system lets owners run lighting, slides, awning, and other systems from a smartphone or tablet.
The galley pairs a residential refrigerator with a microwave and a pantry. Buyers who want LP appliances can swap the residential refrigerator for a Dometic 8-cu-ft double-door LP unit at the factory.
Sleeping and Baths
Bed configuration varies by floor plan. The 32RW and 34MB carry a Serenity Series King bed (72 x 75) in the rear master, with a 30 x 36 shower. The 36Y carries a Serenity Series Queen bed (60 x 75) in the mid-coach master with two separate bath compartments.
Every floor plan includes the Hide-A-Loft electric drop-down bed over the cab for extra sleeping. The 36Y carries the KID KAVE bunk area with an optional balcony loft above. A washer/dryer combo is available on the 32RW, 33HB, 34MB, and 36Y; a stackable washer/dryer is available on the 32RW, 33HB, and 34MB.

Fleetwood Fortis FAQs
What is the Fleetwood Fortis?
The Fleetwood Fortis is a Class A gas motorhome built on the Ford F-53 chassis with the Ford 7.3L Triton V8. It's Fleetwood's mid-priced Class A gas option with standard full-body paint, standard solar, and the MultiPlex smartphone-controlled house system. Fleetwood builds the Fortis in five floor plans; MHSRV stocks four (32RW, 34MB, 35R, 36Y).
What chassis is the Fortis built on?
The Fortis runs the Ford F-53 chassis with the 7.3L Triton V8 at 335 hp and 468 lb-ft, paired with the Ford 6-speed automatic. Two chassis weights are used: the lighter F-53 (26,000-lb GCWR) on the 32RW, 33HB, and 34MB, and the heavier F-53 (30,000-lb GCWR, 252-inch wheelbase) on the 35R and 36Y. Every floor plan carries an 8,000-pound hitch, an 80-gallon fuel tank, and 22.5-inch Alcoa wheels.
How much can the Fortis tow?
Every Fortis carries an 8,000-pound trailer hitch and an 800-pound tongue weight rating. That's a higher rating than most Class A gas competitors and covers most SUVs and small cars used as a dinghy.
What floor plans does the Fortis come in?
MHSRV stocks four of Fleetwood's five Fortis floor plans: the 32RW (34'6", King master), the 34MB (35'6", King master, 20-foot patio awning), the 35R (seating-focused layout with dream dinette, jackknife sofa, and manual theater seating), and the 36Y (38'11", Queen master with power theater seating, 65-inch Klipsch TV, and rear fireplace). The 33HB is built but not currently stocked at MHSRV.
Does the Fortis come in a bunk model floor plan?
Yes. The Fortis 36Y carries the KID KAVE bunk area, Fleetwood's family-focused kid space, with an optional balcony loft above. Every Fortis floor plan also carries the standard Hide-A-Loft electric drop-down bed over the cab for extra guest sleeping.
Does the Fortis come with full-body paint?
Yes. Full-body paint is standard on every Fortis floor plan, in five exterior packages (Galaxy, Gemini, Gravity, Infinity, and Orbit). Most competing Class A gas coaches charge extra for full-body paint or limit it to upper trim levels.
Does the Fortis come with adaptive cruise control?
Not standard. Adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning are available as a factory option through Fleetwood's Advanced Vehicle Safety (AVS) package, which uses Ford's Driver Assist Technology on the F-53 chassis. Collision Mitigation is available as a separate factory option.
How does the Fortis handle off-grid power?
Every Fortis carries a 100-watt rooftop solar panel that trickle-charges the four 6-volt house batteries, a 5.5-kW generator with auto generator start, a 2,000-watt inverter, and 50-amp shore power. That combination supports moderate off-grid use, with the generator handling higher-draw runtime.
Does the Fortis come with a King bed?
Yes, on the 32RW and 34MB. Both carry a Serenity Series King bed (72 x 75 inches) in the rear master. The 36Y carries a Serenity Series Queen bed (60 x 75) in the mid-coach master with two separate bath compartments.
Do I need a CDL to drive the Fleetwood Fortis?
No. The Fortis is built on the Ford F-53 Class A chassis, which stays below the 26,001-lb Federal CDL threshold. A standard passenger driver's license is sufficient in every U.S. state. Any driver comfortable with a large truck or full-size Class C can drive a Fortis after a familiarization drive.
