So I've been browsing past and present Fleetwood brochures. What I find very odd is that even though photos show dishwashers in many models, I can never find it listed either as standard or as an option. I would think that they would want to tout this feature. It was one of the many selling points for us, and it seems like others would find it to be a selling point as well. Why not put it in brochures then?

here's a photo from an actual dealer lot, and it appears to have a dishwasher..

It's listed as option 107 in the 2014 and 2015 brochures. Haven't seen a 2016 or 2017 brochure.

In the brochure archive for the Expedition, I don't even see an option 107. The 2013 brochure also doesn't have it. I just find it odd that that they don't push every positive feature possible. As noted, it's in the photos of the brochures, but they don't list it as a feature, neither standard nor optional. Just trying to understand the thinking of FW?

I see they did leave it out of the Expedition brochures. It's listed in the Discovery brochures. Don't know why they wouldn't included it in all models where it is available.

Obviously an oversight when they printed the brochures. Not the first time FW's done this.

Next to the W/D, the dishwasher was a requirement for us. My best investment, I don't have to do dishes any more! Took out the gas oven which was redundant with the convection oven. Does not use much water, and is quiet. Can use it dry camping night before doing a dump. Small but holds 2-3 days dishes for 2 people.

Our Discovery came with a gas oven, too. Wife desperately wanted the dishwasher. We had a friend with the same model and year as ours, and his came with a dishwasher he didn't want. He took it out and replaced it with a storage cabinet, and gave the dishwasher to us. We just had our oven removed, and put the dishwasher in it's place. When we took out the oven, the cooktop was part of it, so we had to replace that, too. We opted to replace the propane cooktop with an induction cooktop, which made the wife extremely happy. Yay! Now we have the old propane oven/cooktop to dispose of.

In the photo...If your are referring to the SS door below the knobs, left of the frig, that's the oven not a dish washer.

But really who NEEDs a dish washer unless you have lots of kids. It take 5 minutes or so to wash items in the sink. We are 2 full timers and use the galley every day to prepare meals real meals not TV dinners! pasta, roasts, hams all cooked in both ovens, range top, etc...also a good cook cleans up used pots, bowls, etc as they go along. There should be no good reason to have a pile of dirty dishes in the sink!

Look a bit closer. Defiantly a Fisher/Paykel drawer type dishwasher.
