Decatur, Ind. – (February 12, 2010) – Fleetwood RV, Inc., a leading producer of Class A and Class C recreational vehicles, was recognized as the number one manufacturer of Class A motor homes in calendar year 2009 by Statistical Surveys, Inc., a reporting service based in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Statistical Surveys, Inc. has been tracking the RV industry since 1987. In that time, Fleetwood has been recognized as the number one Class A motor home brand for 22 of the past 23 years. In calendar year 2009, Fleetwood RV held 18.4% of the Class A motor home retail market share.

The press release goes on to say:
"This year’s achievement is extra special for Fleetwood RV,” said John Draheim, president and COO of Fleetwood RV, Inc. “It is a true testament to all of Fleetwood RV’s dealers, customers and associates who we were able to maintain our number one market share position throughout the challenges of the past year. Market share isn’t a goal. It is a reward that a company earns by developing strong relationships with its dealers and customers; as well as by building high-quality products and standing behind them.
“Ever since our change in ownership in July 2009, Fleetwood RV has stood behind all of its motor home products whether they were built by the new company or the former company – including existing dealer inventory as well as customer coaches that are still within their warranty periods,” added Draheim. “This support is just one of the many examples of our ongoing commitment to doing the right thing for our dealers and customers.”
2010 marks the 60th anniversary for Fleetwood, one of the most recognized brands in the RV industry. Since 1950, Fleetwood has made its mark in the industry with key innovations like the debut of basement storage on the 1985 Bounder and full-wall slide technology on the 2004 Pace Arrow. Today, Fleetwood RV’s executive team is focused on building upon this legacy, as well as leveraging the company’s smaller size.
“Because Fleetwood RV is a smaller, more nimble company we can implement dealer and customer feedback into our products more quickly and successfully,” added Draheim. “This agility also allows us to produce better quality motor homes at a higher value.”

| Re: Fleetwood Storm class A motorhome | Reba | Great concept, like the cabover bed on an A. The price looks good too. Got to see one we have a 40' fleetwood. Like it but want something smaller |
| Re: Fleetwood Pace Arrow Vision class A motorhome | manolo1 | We bought a 2005 37C with three slideouts and it has been a great rig. We took it all the way across the country and except for a couple of a/c issues it has been flawless. Thought of trading in on a diesel but couldnt see the trade off in price or amenities. top shelf RV and will always stay with Fleetwood. |
| Re: Fleetwood Discovery | Catlink | Has anyone had problems w/ the full wall slides on Fleetwoods getting stuck -- one end out further than the other --just inches -- due to RV being on a slanted surface?

| Re: 2010 Fleetwood Quest class C motorhome | Wayne | 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!! |

| Re: 2010 Fleetwood Quest class C motorhome | Jorge De La Fe | Water valve is under the stove very bad place to place it but other wise is a great little motor home I own one and have ran about 6,000 miles on it it handles great but can only pull a small vehicle |
| Re: Fleetwood Icon class C motorhome | M Buteau | 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 |
| Re: Fleetwood Pace Arrow Vision class A motorhome | Frank | I have an 07 Pace Arrow (37C) and it has served me well. Like the previous poster, I couldn't see buying a disel with the amount of miles that I accumulate. It drives/handles very well and the inside it just fantastic for me and my wife. |
| Re: Fleetwood Terra LX class A motorhome | Spike | Retired Seniors...
I also have a 2008 Terra 33L. Purchased new in 2008 (prior to the Fleetwood Fall) No issues to speak of.... A recall regarding wires near the front left jack. rerouted the wires myself, no big deal... other problems were minor leak on one air unit... unit needed to be tighten after first trip. Blemish in paneling near TV.. Dealer fix, not a problem... love the coach, just hope my good fortune continues for many years of use.... |

| Re: Fleetwood Jamboree class C motorhome | Bryan Graham | I had a Jamboree for 2 years in the 90s. We went everywhere in it and it gave us very few problems. We're looking at the new models now and I think they really do incorporate all of the experience they've gained over the years. Fleetwood are a good company and the Jamboree is a great class C. |
