Statistical Surveys, Inc. Recognizes Fleetwood as Top-Selling Class A Motor Home Manufacturer in 2008

Fleetwood Holds Top Spot for 21st Year

RIVERSIDE, Calif., May 11 -- Fleetwood Enterprises' RV Group was recognized as the number one manufacturer of Class A motor homes in calendar year 2008 by Statistical Surveys, Inc., a reporting service based in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Statistical Surveys, Inc. has been tracking the RV industry since 1987. In that time, Fleetwood has been recognized as the number one Class A motor home manufacturer 21 times. In calendar year 2008, Fleetwood held 18.6% of the Class A motor home retail market share.

"We are very proud of the success our Class A motor home products have had over the years," said Paul Eskritt, president of Fleetwood's RV Group. "At Fleetwood, we pride ourselves on having the strongest motor home dealer network in the industry, and we rely on the valuable feedback from our dealers and their customers in the product planning and development process for all of our motor home products."

Loren Baidas, owner of General RV in Michigan stated, "We decided to partner with Fleetwood because they build high-quality motor homes and back them with one of the best warranties in the industry. Even in the midst of their current reorganization, Fleetwood is still standing behind their product, which is why our customers continue to confidently purchase Fleetwood motor homes today."

Ron Hayworth, co-founder of the Fleetwood MotorHome Association (FMA) added, "It does not surprise me that Fleetwood was recognized as the top retailer of Class A motor homes in 2008. I have been a proud Fleetwood motor home owner for 15 years, and during that time Fleetwood has always maintained its focus on innovation, quality and, most importantly, customer service."

On June 27-30, 2009, FMA will hold its first national rally in Gillette, Wyo., which will include informative seminars, a golf tournament, factory warranty service and technical support, and much more. To date, more than 300 Fleetwood motor homes have been registered to attend the rally. For more information about this event, visit www.fleetwoodrv.com/mhevent.
