Fleetwood Rolls Out All-New 2008 Wilderness, Prowler Luxury-Lite and Terry Travel Trailers and Fifth Wheels

Wilderness Sets up Camp at a Value; Prowler Takes on a Lighter Load; Terry Re-Establishes Its Tradition

RIVERSIDE, Calif., Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fleetwood Enterprises' RV Group, a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles, today announced the launch of its 2008 Wilderness, Prowler Luxury-Lite, and Terry travel trailers and fifth wheels. With a clear focus on the needs of the marketplace, Fleetwood's product development teams created a greater differentiation between its core travel trailer brands, resulting in all-new looks for model year 2008.

"We put a lot of emphasis on the product development and planning process for the 2008 Wilderness, Prowler and Terry brands," said Paul Eskritt, President of Fleetwood's RV Group. "As key components in our RV line-up, we wanted to ensure that these brands represented the best of Fleetwood's travel trailer division and highlighted the valuable dealer feedback we gathered along the way."

The 2008 Wilderness travel trailers and fifth wheels meet the needs of the value-conscious RVer with the style and convenience features found in higher-end trailers. Highlights include smooth fiberglass sidewalls, engineered aluminum construction, all-new exterior graphics, optional fully-enclosed chassis with heated tank, contemporary interior decor selections, hardwood cabinet doors with raised panels, and enlarged dinette window.

In model year 2008, Prowler took on a new name and a lighter load. Now known as Prowler Luxury-Lite and featuring five-sided aluminum frame construction, all 2008 Prowler travel trailer and fifth wheel floor plans are 100% half-ton towable. In addition, the Prowler Luxury-Lite trailer is built on an Equa-Flex rubberized suspension for a smoother ride, the dinette and queen bed are constructed in lightweight aluminum for further weight reduction and the rich interior decor includes all-new furniture and window treatments.

Since 1964, Terry travel trailers and fifth wheels have been synonymous with RVing, and in 2008 Fleetwood pays homage to this legacy. With a variety of floor plan selections, including several half-ton towable options, and design features like pass-through storage, smooth fiberglass sidewalls, solid hardwood cabinet doors and optional electric awning, the 2008 Terry is poised to be the fully-equipped premium travel trailer and fifth wheel brand in its market segment.

Backed by a one year bumper-to-bumper warranty, the 2008 Wilderness, Prowler Luxury-Lite and Terry are available at Fleetwood RV dealerships nationwide. For more information, call 1-800-322-8216 or visit http://www.fleetwoodrv.com/.
