Fleetwood announce the debut of its 2008 Icon and Pulse Class C diesel motor homes, featuring the new Dodge(R) Sprinter chassis: With two spacious floor plans available at launch, the 2008 Icon and Pulse were unveiled to dealer representatives at Fleetwood's National Dealer Meeting in Las Vegas, Nev. on August 27-29, 2007.
2008 Fleetwood Pulse
Initial floor plan selections on Icon and Pulse include large single slide-outs with a choice of a full-width rear bathroom (24A), or rear bedroom with double bed (24D). Fleetwood's motor home product planning and development team conducted several phases of primary research for Icon and Pulse, including feedback sessions with RV dealers and consumers. "When we were in the planning stages for Icon and Pulse, we relied on the voice of the customer to help us home in on areas where our innovative spirit could make an impact in this growing Class C segment," said Paul Eskritt, President of Fleetwood's RV Group. "Accordingly, the 2008 Icon and Pulse feature the innovative function and high-style characteristics for which Fleetwood is well-known."

Exterior highlights on Icon and Pulse include the Mercedes-Benz(R) 6-cylinder, 3.0L turbo-diesel engine for increased fuel-efficiency, pass-through storage, up to 138" long slide-outs for increased living space, highly-styled front cap, and standard DuPont (R) full-body paint. Interior highlights include contoured, European-style cabinetry; Corian(R) countertops; Jensen(R) 19" LCD HDTV; as well as contemporary interior décor options.
The 2008 Icon and Pulse will be available at Fleetwood RV dealerships nationwide in late October 2007. For more information, call 1-800-322-8216 or visit http://www.fleetwoodrv.com.

The Quest is probably the best thing Fleetwood has done to save their image, make some needed cash flow happen, and ensure they survive in these times of economic downturn. Having owned six Fleetwood calss As over the past fifteen year I now cannot afford to pay $300 to fill the tank just to drive 300 miles or less. This smaller size is good and the mileage will help families to keep doing what they love, and help new families to fulfill their dream of owning an RV. My concernwill be that this :limited time build of 150 units" was only done to rid the factory (Riverside CA) of surplus parts which is why there were only 150 built, and why each of the two models have so many variations from coach to coach. I have noted different sized drawers, some with ovens other's without, very few with front entertainment centers, and only a few with silver body paint at lower body areas. There is no consistency in the build of this product. I have noted most dealers have sold these units for about $60,000 which is right where Fleetwood needs to set their price for this unit to create a market for themselves. I would hope Fleetwood will consider cotinuing this model, keeping the quality high, the options low to keep the price low and keeping the models consistent as to components. If this model is successful Fleetwood will once again set the pace for all the others to follow. As with the bounder, Fleetwood has always had the ability to focus of not only market needs, but what the market can afford to allow ownership. Long gone are the days families can taken the false equity of their home and spend it on an RV. There must be an affordable RV. This could be it!!

We love The icon, it run like a limo, and we can had a lot of benefits, However I Have a comment on the bed size; It would have been great if if the wardrobe would have been 4 to 6inches and extend the bed. I am 5'8 and i find the it is limit to confort. We have compared with other and could not find anything better. I hope that the manufacturer will take in considation the bed size option. Thank's
