Statistical Surveys, Inc. Recognizes Fleetwood RV as Top-Selling Class A Motor Home Manufacturer in 2009

DECATUR, Ind., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetwood RV, Inc., a leading producer of Class A and Class C recreational vehicles, was recognized as the number one manufacturer of Class A motor homes in calendar year 2009 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 brand for 22 of the past 23 years. In calendar year 2009, Fleetwood RV held 18.4% of the Class A motor home retail market share.

"This year's achievement is extra special for Fleetwood RV," said John Draheim, president and COO of Fleetwood RV, Inc. "It is a true testament to all of Fleetwood RV's dealers, customers and associates that we were able to maintain our number one market share position throughout the challenges of the past year. Market share isn't a goal. It is a reward that a company earns by developing strong relationships with its dealers and customers; as well as by building high-quality products and standing behind them.

"Ever since our change in ownership in July 2009, Fleetwood RV has stood behind all of its motor home products whether they were built by the new company or the former company – including existing dealer inventory as well as customer coaches that are still within their warranty periods," added Draheim. "This support is just one of the many examples of our ongoing commitment to doing the right thing for our dealers and customers."

2010 marks the 60th anniversary for Fleetwood, one of the most recognized brands in the RV industry. Since 1950, Fleetwood has made its mark in the industry with key innovations like the debut of basement storage on the 1985 Bounder and full-wall slide technology on the 2004 Pace Arrow. Today, Fleetwood RV's executive team is focused on building upon this legacy, as well as leveraging the company's smaller size.

"Because Fleetwood RV is a smaller, more nimble company we can implement dealer and customer feedback into our products more quickly and successfully," added Draheim. "This agility also allows us to produce better quality motor homes at a higher value."
