Fleetwood announces newly designed Pace Arrow Motorhome for 2004

Story based on a press release

RIVERSIDE, Calif., Dec. 2 — Fleetwood RV revealed its highly anticipated 2004 Pace Arrow Class A motorhome at the 41st Annual National RVIA tradeshow, taking place in Louisville, Kentucky, December 2-4, 2003. The newly redesigned model represents Fleetwood's best-equipped, most luxurious Pace Arrow to date.

The 2004 Pace Arrow motorhome has the appearance of a high-line diesel pusher, with new graphics, higher roofline and 22.5-inch wheels and tires. The foundation of the new Pace Arrow is the Workhorse W-22 chassis with the Vortec V-8 engine and Allison 1000 five-speed automatic transmission. The exterior of the recreational vehicle includes a new front fiberglass cap, a high-profile tubular grille, five additional inches in the roofline, dramatic stylized graphics and a powered A&E awning that can be set to automatically retract in the event of high wind or rain.

"Our customers expressed a desire for a more luxurious and impressive coach without the additional costs associated with a diesel engine and chassis — we delivered with the new Pace Arrow," said Chris Braun, Senior Vice President of Fleetwood RV.

The interior boasts a full seven feet of headroom, a lower dash to increase driver visibility, and a powered one-piece sun visor to reduce eye fatigue. Automatic two-zone electronic climate control (ECC) keeps the elements at bay with two ducted roof air units and two Hydroflame furnaces.

The 2004 Pace Arrow offers a unique floor plan with a side aisle between the living area and the master suite. Reminiscent of a bygone era with Pullman cars and late-night whistle stops, this floor plan provides a one-room lavatory with a residential-size shower enclosure that boasts an adjustable- height shower head, as well as a soap and shampoo dispenser, linen closet, cabinet for the optional washer/dryer, deep medicine cabinet, additional towel racks and a SeaLand toilet. Pace Arrow offers four interior decor selections (sand, slate, terra cotta and lagoon) and three different woods. All the furniture is Flexsteel ultra leather and the mattress is a queen-size Restonic.

The recreation vehicle's new front fiberglass cap includes MCI heavy-duty headlights, ultra- modern LED turn signals and side markers, a two-piece windshield with Denso wipers (which include a wet-arm design for the ultimate in windshield cleanliness). The new, lower dash includes redesigned, easy-to-read gauges, back-up monitor with one-way sound, and a radio with larger buttons and read- out screen for quick selections while driving (the stereo also includes both CD and cassette players). All electronic entertainment components (two TVs, DVD, VCR, and surround-sound speakers) are Panasonic. The dining area is available as either a table with chairs or a booth, depending on whether the customer wants more sleeping capacity or not.

The 2004 Pace Arrow will have a base MSRP range of $127,000 - $135,700.
