Fleetwood RV, Inc., a leading producer of Class A and Class C recreational vehicles, 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.
