Fleetwood RV Introduces First-Ever Crossover Motor Home During RVIA Industry Show in Louisville, Kentucky and RV Buddies Brings you Exclusive Pictures

Fleetwood RV today launched its first-ever "crossover" motor home - the 2010 Encounter - during RVIA's 47th Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky. on December 1 - 3, 2009. Featuring the sleeping capacity and value of a Class C motor home along with the roominess and storage capacity of a Class A motor home, the 2010 Encounter is unlike anything available on the market today.

"The concept for Encounter came from a conversation we had with one of our dealers," said John Draheim, president and COO of Fleetwood RV, Inc. "It is a special motor home in the fact that it includes the best aspects of both a Class A and a Class C motor home. It is designed to appeal to a wide range of RV buyers."

The 2010 Encounter is available in three floor plans: a 28-foot single-slide, rear bedroom floor plan with walk-around queen bed and oversized wrap-around booth dinette (28MS); a 31-foot dual-slide, side-aisle floor plan with opposing dinette/sofa in the living room (30SA); and a 31-foot dual-slide floor plan with standard traditional bunk beds or the optional "Bunk Bed-n-Breakfast" space-saving 2-person dinette with convertible bunk beds (32BH).

The innovative "Hide-a-Loft" feature, a queen-sized, electronic drop-down bed with air mattress located above the driver/passenger captain's chairs, is also an available option on all floor plans.

Standard features on the 2010 Encounter include 82" interior height; Soft Touch Flexsteel driver/passenger captain's chairs; Soft Touch Flair sofa; convertible Dream Dinette with two cupholders; 19" LCD wide-screen TV with DVD player; pleated night shades; full extension drawer guides and transit-ship locks; high-gloss fiberglass sidewalls; full basement exterior with enclosed, heated holding tanks and luggage compartments; pass-through storage; Onan 4.0kw microquiet generator; 15,000 BTU ducted air conditioner; patio awning; rear vision camera with monitor; power heated remote mirrors; power entry step; stainless steel wheel simulators; black tank sani-flush; exterior shower; Fantastic power roof vent; dual deep cycle auxiliary batteries; spare tire and carrier; one-inch (inside diameter) water tank drain; and whole coach water filtration.
