RV Road Trips

Fleetwood Travel Trailers

For the beginning family with a smaller budget, the popular folding camper trailer is a popular option.  Easily towed behind the family minivan, these rigs are great for weekends at the nearest state park.

Travel trailers and fifth wheels are the most popular first-step upgrade.  Fleetwood has a huge selection of models ready to meet the needs of any couple or family looking for a longterm investment in quality and comfort. 

My Fleetwood Travel Trailer
Back in 1976 I bought my first new travel trailer.  It was an 18-foot Wilderness.  It was a big step up for a young family of 4 that had been weekend camping in the old canvas tents. 

We pulled that trailer all over northern Minnesota visiting many of the state's grand parks and fishing hotspots. 

Never being much of a fisherman, my largest fish was caught during a weekend at the Federal Dam Corp of Engineers Park.  It was a 3-pound large mouth bass.  It sure tasted good that night back at the campsite in our beautiful new Wilderness trailer!

Fleetwood has a good variety of luxury fifth wheel trailers that are just waiting for you when you decide the fulltime RV lifestyle is your ultimate dream.  With your own portable high-class apartment, you can spend time anywhere in the country and always have the comforts of your own home with you.

Maybe a Class C mini-motor home is the right rig for your family.  Ease of access to the driver's compartment makes these comfy units as accessible as the family car. Fleetwood has 8 different models with multiple floor plans to choose from.

Fleetwood's Class A motorhome  provides a view of the countryside that can't be beat.  With the driving position raised above traffic, you're rolling picture window provides a whole new perspective of the world around you. 

My Fleetwood Motorhome
One of Fleetwood's most popular motorhomes is the Bounder.  It's my personal favorite, because it falls about middle of the road in affordability, yet has many options not found on competing brands.  In 1997 when slide-out rooms were relatively new, we bought a new Bounder 36S.  We really felt we had arrived in high cotton traveling across the country in that Bounder.  We towed a small car, and even carried a motorcycle on the back!

That Bounder contained everything we owned and still cruised 70 mph all day in total comfort.  When we arrived in Denton TX, planning on staying some time, it was a matter of backing into our spot, pushing a couple switches and in seconds our walls expanded giving us half again as much space.  We lived comfortably for almost a year in TX in our Bounder, especially enjoying the built in washer/dryer.
 

This is a level of traveling comfort that can on only be surpassed by the luxury of a diesel pusher motorhome.  With their full body graphics and top-of-the-line cabinetry, these luxury liners of the highway will float you from one location to the next.  Air-ride suspension makes any highway seem like driving on a cloud.  The amenities are many, including the fine leather and designer fabrics which place you a step above the others.  With 6 different models and 38 floor plans, finding the perfect diesel pusher at Fleetwood is a sure bet.

With so many options, you would think this is as far as Fleetwwood RV can go.  I've saved the best for last.  The American Coach by Fleetwood is the ultimate traveling machine.  It is far more than a step above anything provided by any multi-line manufacturer.  These top-of-the-line coaches are way above anything called a motorhome.  They have heated tile floors, large flat screen tv's, in-motion satellite receivers... the list is endless. 

When you reach the status level of the American line of luxury coaches, you have truly arrived.  People will look up and take notice when you arrive in one of these coaches. 

My Experience With American Coach
I can speak from personal experience about American Coach.  This is traveling at its absolute best! 

I transported a handful of American products across the country during my time as a RV transporter.  It was an experience I always looked forward to, and I enjoyed it immensely.  If I can feel that excited about just driving one, imagine the feeling of owning something as grand as an American Coach!
