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."

Interior highlights include contoured, European-style cabinetry; Corian(R) countertops; Jensen(R) 19" LCD HDTV; as well as contemporary interior décor options.

Readers' comments:

Linda Bravo :   I just traded in my 2005 Holiday Rambler for a 2010 Fleetwood Icon. I am thrilled with my decision and so far I love it. I thought I would have problems with so much smaller space and storage but find it to be perfect for two with two little dogs. I did invest in a new deck with navigation, blue tooth and awesome speakers because for my listening pleasure the stock unit was not adequate. I added a small satellites dish, some shelving under the sinks and lots of light weight collapsible kitchen items. Changed out the sewer attachment and brought it closer to the side of the rig. Now it is perfect and I am leaving in a few weeks for my first trip.

RMAS :   Cool Motor Home..I'm 6'51/2' Myself Really Gotta LIKE the 6'8 Business! Wish companies financed disabled to Buy one.

Becca :   After much research, we bought the Quest 24L without the cabover bunk and we love it! It's easy to drive and park, and the mileage is not much less than a full size pick up truck. There's plenty of room inside for two adults and a large dog to fit comfortably. I like to cook and for a small rv, it's nice to have three burners on the stove, and the half time oven is a plus. We can't go anywhere without someone telling us they wish they could trade in their large rv for one as well appointed and fuel minded as our Quest. Fleetwood did a nice job with the mini-classC Quest.

Dave :   I bought the 2010 Quest cabover. Love it but didn't think about two old people climbing up and down ladder. We added two 4" foam pads which we carry on bed but move to the two opposing coaches to sleep. Very comfortable. Nice to be able to park about anywhere with this unit. No complaints yet. - 1/19/2011

Ron :   I have driven my 2010 Icon 10k from Tucson to Utah, Wy, So Dak Colorado and NM without any problems. I climbed several 7 & 8% grades, pulling an inclosed motorcycle trailer with my Harley. We were in it for a full 3 months and the fresh water tank should be larger as well as the real bed. I have the unit with the entertainment center above the cab. My wife and I are both very satisfied with our unit other than what I just mentioned. On a decent day at 62 MPH we get 16 miles to a gallon.
