Highly Anticipated Consumer Launch of Stylish Class C Motor Homes Co-Developed by BMW Group DesignworksUSA

RIVERSIDE, Calif., March 29 -- Fleetwood RV, a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles, today announced the consumer launch of its revolutionary 2006 Jamboree GTX and Tioga SLX Class C motor homes. These models are now available at select Fleetwood RV dealers nationwide, and were featured at last week's FMCA Winter Show in Perry, Georgia.

The 2006 Jamboree GTX and Tioga SLX made their well-received trade debut at the 42nd Annual National RVIA tradeshow in late November 2004. Fleetwood RV collaborated with the elite design team from BMW Group DesignworksUSA, who added a unique perspective to Fleetwood's product development process. Together, Fleetwood RV and DesignworksUSA successfully melded European-styling into the RV manufacturing process, creating two of the most innovative RV products in the Class C market to date.

"We are excited to announce the nationwide consumer launch of the Jamboree GTX and Tioga SLX," said Chris Braun, Executive Vice President of Fleetwood RV. "The addition of the 2006 Jamboree GTX and Tioga SLX to the Fleetwood product line further opens up the RV lifestyle to consumers who appreciate products with a more contemporary look and feel."

Interior highlights on the Jamboree GTX and Tioga SLX include contemporary curved cabinetry from Italy-based Tecnoform, solid surface galley tops, ambient indirect and halogen lighting, and high-end fixtures. The exterior features include an aerodynamic cab-over with a distinctive front vista window, molded composite running boards, custom-formed aluminum luggage doors, and a fully integrated rear body panel.

The Jamboree GTX and Tioga SLX are available in three floor plans ranging from 26' to 31', with base MSRP ranging from $89,740 - $92,960. All floor plans feature a large L-shaped sofa perfect for cozy dinners or festive events with friends.
