The 2011 Fleetwood Jamboree DSL is a diesel Class C RV that is 25.2 feet long and offers a full-time corner bed in the rear. At this size, you’ll be able to get practically anywhere you want to go, but remember that the height is 11’4” and may be a hindrance more so than the length. The base MSRP starts at $101,500 and options include cab-over entertainment center instead of a bed, and a diesel generator instead of propane.
Sprinter RV
It is built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis that is powered by a 3.0 liter V6 turbo engine with BlueTEC diesel technology. This chassis provides fantastic fuel economy from one of the cleanest diesel engines on the market. You’ll also be impressed by its power as you’re driving your fully loaded RV up mountainous roads.
Fleetwood RV introduced the 2011 Jamboree DSL and 2011 Tioga DSL as their premium offering in the Class C diesel market, and the 2011 Jamboree Sport DSL and 2011 Tioga Ranger DSL as a value-priced option.
Exterior of Jamboree DSL Shown in Tungsten
2011 Fleetwood Jamboree DSL
This is a classy looking rig that has taken some cues from the Class A’s:
- pass-through storage
- aluminum luggage doors
- full-body paint
- 3 color schemes: Concord, Sandrift, and Tungsten
The cab-over area lines are smooth, and yet the shape is less of a bubble than many of the other Sprinter RVs. There were no windows in the cab-over of the unit pictured above, but the floorplan shows them on each side. Conversely, the same unit clearly has a large window at above the bed on the curbside, however the floorplan does not show one. Regardless, it seems like there are less windows overall than other Sprinter models and floorplans on the market. Be sure to check it out for yourself.
Interior
The only floorplan is the 24D:

Some notables inside include:
- full-time rear corner bed
- ‘ultraleather’ sofa booth dinette
- china bowl toilet
- whole coach water filtration system
- duel pane windows (talk to your dealer about how appropriate these are in your area)
- ceiling halogen lights (may want to determine if switching to LED is reasonable)
- curved shower rod gives more room in shower
- solid surface counter top
- slide-out long enough to include dinette, pantry, and refrigerator to open up isle space

Overall the fit and finish provide a quality feel to this small motorhome. There are three interior decors to choose from: Linen Oasis, Lustrous Gold, and Mystic Midnight. First though, I’d select the wood finish, either Satin Chestnut or Satin Spice, because wood is a predominate feature inside.
Things to Consider
Check out the 2011 Jamboree DSL at your dealer or RV Show and be sure to spend time as much time in it as possible to determine whether this model fits your travel style. Pay particular attention to whether the dinette booth is adequate for both dining and lounging around in the evenings. Look at whether the windows provide the views and openness that you’ll want while camping or exploring. Also remember to discuss the duel pane windows and if they’re a good idea in your area. Florida for example is so humid that many avoid duel panes because moisture historically gets trapped between panes and need to be replaced to fix them.
