RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetwood RV, a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles, today announced the launch of its brand new 2007 Fiesta LX and Terra LX Class A gas motor home models. The high-value, competitively priced 2007 LX models include high-end features like full-body paint, pass-through storage and 22.5" wheels.
"After several months of research and testing, the idea for the LX models was conceived and put into action in December 2005," said Chris Braun, Executive Vice President of Fleetwood RV. "With the rise in gas prices and interest rates, consumers are looking more closely at RVs with lower price tags. In response to this marketplace demand, we loaded the Fiesta LX and Terra LX models with features you would expect to find at a higher price point, like full-body paint, but kept the price near $100,000. Now customers have a high-value option to consider."
Enabling the increased and pass-through storage capacity on the Terra LX and Fiesta LX models is the Power Platform Plus -- an offshoot of the Power Platform -- built on either Ford or Workhorse chassis.
The exterior of the LX models is highlighted by the stylized front and rear caps and standard full-body paint with three color scheme and graphic options. Interior features include Flexsteel(R) furniture, an entertainment system with 24" TV, large dinette, Dometic(R) 8 C.U. FT. refrigerator, and optional convection oven.
The Fiesta LX and Terra LX models' three floor plan options come standard with 5,000 lb towing capacity, Onan(R) 4.0 KW generators and exterior patio awning.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 4, 2006
Coachmen’s Leprechaun® Class C is rich with features In Irish legend, a leprechaun can lead you to a pot of gold. In the world of RVs, the Leprechaun® Class C motorhome is your pot of gold. Coachmen RV created the Leprechaun to be the ideal motorhome for the experienced RVer wanting more.
Walk around a Leprechaun and the first thing you will notice — aside from its striking good looks — is the huge amount of outside storage. The model 317 KS boasts an amazing 143 cubic feet of exterior storage — about the same as a longbed pickup truck. Now, taking all your toys on trips is no problem. Storage is accessible through the upgraded baggage doors with paddle latches, and to make it even more convenient, the slide-out storage moves in and out with the slideroom for easy access.
The Leprechaun’s bold paint scheme complements the redesigned perimeter rear cap with LED running lights. The super-bright LED lights last longer and use less voltage than standard lights. The patio entertainment center with remote control makes tailgating and camping even more fun.
Two unique floorplans, the 317 KS and 318 DS, make the Leprechaun perfect for RV enthusiasts. Both are based on a Ford chassis with a 6.8L engine that delivers 305 horsepower and 420 lb. ft. of torque. That’s plenty of power to get you to the ultimate getaway.
The redesigned fiberglass running boards now offer a wider step area — one of the widest in the industry, making it easier to enter the well-appointed cab. Once inside, one of the first things you will notice is the snaplock headliner. Coachmen leads the industry in utilizing these molded plastic pieces to replace fabric ceiling covers that can rip or sag over time.
The dash radio comes with an integrated back up monitor. It is Sirius, GPS and side camera ready.
Leprechaun is an upscale Class C at a great price with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $87,393. Coachmen makes buying the coach a breeze with three easy steps. One: choose your interior color scheme from Bronzeville Haven, Mint Julep or Santa Cruz Sage — and two: the cabinetry, Brazilian Cherry or Welbeck Birch.
One final decision — the entertainment center. Leprechaun comes equipped with a 20-inch LDC television and CD player, but Coachmen gives you an option of a 26-inch LDC television with a DVD player and a Bose® Wave radio sound system. This fits in the cabover section, but even with the 26-inch television, you still have room for a single pullout bed.
The living area is spacious and inviting. Its upscale features include raised panel cabinet doors, plush short shag carpet, designer lighting and stainless steel style appliances. Full extension drawer guides make for easy access to stored items. Skylights in the living area brighten the coach, and the redesigned all-in-one command center allows you to easily monitor all coach functions.
The bedroom is designed to help you relax and get a good night’s sleep. The bed is a residential-sized 60-inch by 80-inch queen so residential-sized sheets and blankets fit. The wardrobe closet is cedar lined to keep your clothes smelling fresh.
Coachmen’s Leprechaun Class C motorhome is rich in the features that make camping, tailgaiting and RVing fun. It is the “pot o’ gold” when it comes to being part of the RV community.
