"The launch of the 2009 American Allegiance brings the reality of owning an American Coach luxury motor home to a new group of consumers," said Paul Eskritt, President of Fleetwood's RV Group. "During the past 10 years, we have worked with our valuable dealer network to develop a product that upheld the elite standards of the American Coach brand. Based on the early feedback from these dealers, we think Allegiance will be a home run with this new customer demographic."

Evolution E4 and Highlander Tacoma Folding Trailers
The 2008 Evolution E4 folding trailer combines the high sidewall construction and features made popular by the Highlander series with the toy hauling capability and off-road appeal of the Evolution series. Feature highlights on the 2008 E4 include king-size beds, a residential-style galley, and a 1600-lb. rated cargo deck.

The 2008 Tacoma takes the Highlander series a step closer to travel trailer comfort by replacing all tent material with solid wall construction. Other major feature highlights include solid-walled bathroom with shower and residential-style toilet, front wraparound sofa and power roof lift.

"The E4 and Tacoma take our popular Evolution and Highlander series of folding trailers to the next level of innovation," said Paul Eskritt, President of Fleetwood's RV Group. "We listened to feedback from our folding trailer dealers and customers and loaded these trailers with the features they have come to expect from Fleetwood Folding Trailers over the years."

The 2008 E4 and Tacoma come equipped with exclusive full-length roof rack tracks, stylish alloy wheels and standard indoor/outdoor cooking amenities.
