Fleetwood RVs first made an appearance on the TV game show, The Price is Right, in 1987.
The 2007 season of The Price is Right marks the 20th anniversary of Fleetwood’s participation on the popular CBS daytime game show!
The Price is Right! is America’s favorite game show and Fleetwood builds some of America’s favorite RVs. We look forward to continuing the tradition for many years to come.
— Paul Eskritt, Executive VP of Fleetwood RV
The Price is Right is the longest running game show in television history, and has been hosted by the legendary Bob Barker since its premiere on CBS in 1972.
Truth is, 2007 is a noteworthy year for both Fleetwood RV and The Price is Right… in June of 2007, Bob Barker retires as host of The Price is Right, after 35 years and at the age of 82.
From The Price is Right website:
Emmy Award winner Bob Barker’s final original daytime episode of The Price is Right will be broadcast Friday, June 15 (11:00 AM-12:00 Noon, ET; 10:00-11:00 AM, PT) on the CBS Television Network. The episode will then be rebroadcast the same evening (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), leading directly into the airing of “The 34th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards (9:00-11:00 PM, live ET/ delayed PT), from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.”
In addition to The Price is Right!, Fleetwood RV products have also appeared on other television programs, including CBS’s Early Show, NBC’s Today Show, ABC’s The Bachelor, MTV’s Road Rules, and Discovery Channel’s Monster House and Monster Garage. Source
Over the past several years, I've been involved with transporting RVs, renting RVs, and fulltime RVing (months at a time). I'm fortunate to have had a number of different RVs available to me to try out — which has enabled me to experience the nuances of RVing firsthand. When I'm not RVing, you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
