Fleetwood Introduces 2006 Full-Wall-Slide Discovery, Excursion and Providence Class A Diesel Motor Homes

Innovative SpacePlus(TM) Environment a Major Enhancement for Diesel Line

RIVERSIDE, Calif., Nov. 29 -- Fleetwood RV, a leading producer of recreational vehicles, today announced it will offer its patent-pending SpacePlus(TM) full-wall slide technology in the 2006 Discovery, Excursion and Providence Class A diesel motor home lines. Building on the success of its full-wall slide system, Fleetwood is expanding its offering of the technology to include the 2006 Discovery, Excursion and Providence motor homes.

The new models will be launched to dealers at the 43rd Annual RVIA tradeshow in Louisville, KY. First introduced on the 2005 Pace Arrow, the full-wall slide system features a 27-foot slide-out wall, providing over 390 square feet of open living space. Fleetwood collaborated closely with Freightliner Custom Chassis to significantly lower the engine and eliminate the typical step-up around the master bed, creating a rear living space with a flat floor, seven-foot ceilings and an unprecedented level of openness throughout the coach.

The 2006 Discovery, Excursion and Providence models also feature additional exterior color choices with coordinating interior options and large E-Z Store exterior compartment doors which extend with the slide-outs. Each unit emphasizes comfort with more options including water heaters with 16-gallon output capability, sofa sleeper with air mattress, automatic-start generators, and 14-cubic-foot refrigerators.

"We wanted to enhance our diesel product line in 2006 to offer our customers the most innovative RVs on the market," said Chris Braun, Executive Vice President of Fleetwood RV. "With the groundbreaking SpacePlus(TM) full-wall slide design we are able to offer more space, comfort and style than most traditional diesel motor home floor plans."
