New RVs

New Featherlite SURV trailers designed for easy towing and comfortable living during outdoor adventures
 

The new all-aluminum Sport Utility Recreational Vehicle (SURV) trailers introduced by Featherlite can haul a wide array of “toys” while providing the comforts of home while at the campgrounds, on the trails or out on the road. New for 2006, the Featherlite SURV trailers are designed to haul ATVs, motorcycles, dirt bikes, dune buggies, cars and more and are available in a gooseneck or bumper pull platform.

“Featherlite SURV trailers are stylish, easy to tow and are functional as a home on wheels – plus garage for recreation enthusiasts and their families,” National Sales Manager Randy Lewis said.

Featuring a 3-degree aerodyne slope and v-nose for easier towing, the Featherlite SURV bumper pull Model 7924 is available in 3 sizes – 20, 24 and 28 feet (not including v-nose). Inside, outdoor enthusiasts ready for adventure away from home can find two fold-down benches, a refrigerator, cooktop stove, restroom with shower and toilet, vanity with sink, cabinets, an optional pull down queen bed in the rear, colorful graphics and more. The 28’ version includes a queen size bed in the front.

The SURV gooseneck Model 7943 is available in 3 sizes –24, 28 and 32 feet (not including gooseneck) – and includes two fold-down benches, a queen size bed in the gooseneck, refrigerator, cooktop stove, restroom with shower and toilet, vanity with sink, cabinets, an optional pull down queen bed in the rear, colorful graphics and more.

For over three decades, Featherlite has been manufacturing aluminum trailers for hauling cars, ATVs, snow- mobiles, motorcycles, horses and more, while gaining expertise in designing and building durable and innovative trailers. “Unlike some SURVs or toy haulers that are made of steel or wood, Featherlite’s SURV trailers are manufactured with premium, corrosion- resistant aluminum, giving people a lighter, easier towing trailer that is durable and will withstand many miles of hauling,” Lewis said. “In addition, Featherlite SURVs have a lower floor height that makes loading toys and equipment easier.” Featherlite is also distinctive for building both its trailers and interiors within the same facility. “This gives our customers detailed attention to the trailer’s design, construction and overall quality from start to finish as well as a one-source warranty,” Lewis said.

Featherlite has a wide array of options to choose from and can custom design any SURV trailer complete with living quarters to a customer’s exact specifications.

Fleetwood’s 20th Anniversary Bounder

 

Fleetwood RV, a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles, has announced the launch of the 2006 Bounder gas motor home. The launch marks the 20th anniversary of one of America’s most popular motor home brands. Maintaining its original standards, Fleetwood has designed the 2006 Bounder with features emphasizing function and value, allowing it to live up to its title of the “Motor Home that Really Works!”

Officially introduced in 1986, the Bounder set the standard in the motor home industry with the first basement storage design, a feature found in most motor homes today.

The 2006 Bounder features significant upgrades, which include 22.5” wheels, exterior graphics package, taller windows, two new interior decors and an increased interior ceiling. The 84” ceilings create seven feet of head clearance for a maximum feeling of openness. Fleetwood incorporated these substantial enhancements while upholding the Bounder's reputation as an exceptional value motor home.

 

Inside, the 2006 Bounder has all of the comforts that customers desire, including 27” and 20” flat screen televisions, a lounge recliner and a glass shower with skylight. A whole-house water filtration system along with 50-amp electrical service in select models create the reliability today’s RV enthusiasts deserve. The 2006 Bounder also features more flexibility in options, such as multiple floor plans ranging from 32 to 36 feet with two or three slides, a fully-functional computer workstation and full-body paint allowing the consumer to tailor the motor home to their needs and budget.

“With the help of customer feedback, the Bounder has remained true to its origins over the past 20 years while retaining its status as an innovator in the industry,” said Chris Braun, Executive Vice President of Fleetwood RV. “Fleetwood is committed to upholding its dedication to the originality, functionality and style and we have no doubt that our 2006 models will keep the Bounder a favorite with both our customers and dealers.”

The 2006 Bounder gas motor home will have a base MSRP of $97,000. For more information on the new Bounder or any other Fleetwood RV products, please call 877-308-7644. To learn more about Fleetwood’s complete line-up of recreational vehicles visit www.fleetwoodrv.com.
