Fleetwood Motorhome Company debuts 2010 Discovery
The Discovery Class A diesel motorhome was introduced at the RV Industry Association’s 47th Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky. One of the biggest changes this year to the Discovery coach is the availability of a Spartan Chassis option. John Draheim, president of Fleetwood RV, said, “The Spartan Chassis was the direct result of important feedback from customers and dealers across the nation”.
The Discovery Motorhome is one of the most recognized brands in the RV industry today and Fleetwood is trying to include features that add value to an already popular motorhome. The Discovery also includes many standard options that use to cost extra but with the slow economy RV manufactures are starting to include these options to attract new buyers and keep the prices down. John Draheim, believes Fleetwood has accomplished its goals with the new 2010 Discovery Motorhome based on feedback received at the RV show in Louisville, Kentucky.
Other important features on the 2010 Discovery include redesigned dash, ceramic tile floor, day/night shades, 22-cu-ft residential refrigerator option (no additional cost if selected), GPS/AM/FM/DVD in-dash radio, exterior entertainment system with Sony 32″ HD TV, Sony televisions and sound systems throughout, reclining passenger seat with footrest, automatic generator start, central vacuum, and 16-gallon hot water heater. Stackable washer/dryer is also a key new optional feature on Discovery.
The Discovery Motorhome is available in 3 floorplans: a curb-side full-wall-slide floorplan that features optional bunk beds with flip-down LCD TVs; a triple-slide, mid-ship TV floorplan; and a triple-slide, front galley floorplan.
The 2010 Discovery offers standard Power Bridge Chassis which includes large pass-through storage with side-swing luggage doors, a convenient patio storage center, and a centralized utility center. An optional exterior “pull-out” BBQ grill and kitchenette is also available.
The staff at J R Consumer Resources believes the Discovery Motorhome will be a big hit for Fleetwood. The lower price with additional options will attract more buyers. The company has been struggling to regain market share after the financial problems the company experienced in 2008 & 2009. We look forward to seeing the new Discovery on RV dealer’s lots in the near future.
