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).
