Fleetwood Debuts Brand-New 2009 Terry LX Fifth Wheel Featuring New Pin Box Design With 90-Degree Turning Radius |
RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fleetwood
Enterprises' RV Group, a leading producer of recreational vehicles,
announced the launch of its brand-new 2009 Terry LX fifth wheel product
line. Born from dealer feedback, the 2009 Terry LX is priced and featured
to hit the heart of the fifth wheel market.
"Even in this challenging market, the demand for a competitive fifth
wheel product is still very prevalent," said Paul Eskritt, president of
Fleetwood's RV Group. "Over the past several months, we worked with our
dealers to develop a fifth wheel line that will help them be more
successful in the heart of the market. The 2009 Terry LX is that product
and with the ongoing support of our valuable dealer network, we anticipate
that it will quickly become a favorite choice for RVers throughout North
America."
"When Fleetwood was developing the 2009 Terry LX, our dealership teams
offered lots of input during the entire process and Fleetwood listened,"
said Craig Little, president of Arbutus RV with five locations in British
Columbia, Canada and a Fleetwood dealer for more than 12 years. "The result
is a product that truly hits the heart of the fifth wheel market. Not only
is it in the right price point, it has the quality and features our
customers want and more. Plus, the recent addition of the new pin box
design makes it even more appealing and easier to sell. They did a
fantastic job!"
During its 2008 National Dealer Meeting, Fleetwood unveiled a new style
of pin box design, which allows a short-bed vehicle to make a 90-degree
turn when towing and docking. Fleetwood added this design as an option in
response to dealer feedback and as an alternative to competitive fifth
wheel products that are limited to an 88-degree turning radius.
The 2009 Terry LX is built using 5-sided aluminum construction with a
steel truss ceiling and radius roof transition. The stylish two-toned front
and rear caps with raised logo and enhanced graphics offer more eye appeal
and are unlike anything available on the market today. Terry LX also
features aluminum wheels and 50 amp electrical service, which are both
standard on all models.
Inside the 2009 Terry LX are beautiful interior décors with new
"Mission-Style" cabinets and drawers equipped with contemporary hardware
and hidden hinges to add to the residential appeal. Other interior
highlights such as solid-surface countertops in the galley and bathroom,
halogen ceiling lights with accent lighting throughout, 6'6" bedroom
ceiling height, marbleized shower, walk-in closet, and bedroom fireplace
make it hard to leave Terry LX when the vacation is over.
The 2009 Terry LX has a full assortment of leading fifth wheel floor
plans ranging in length from 33' 2" to 39' 4", and MSRPs starting around
$46,000 (US Dollars).
