Press Release: Fleetwood Enterprises
March 30, 2005
RIVERSIDE, CA -- Fleetwood RV, a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles, yesterday 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.
The Jamboree GTX and Tioga SLX are available at Fleetwood dealerships nationwide. For more information on these
unique Class C models, or any of Fleetwood's RV products, please call 877-308-7644 or visit www.fleetwoodrv.com.
