American Coach Introduces All-New Product

 Inspiration, Future, Technology, Innovation

Early January 2015, American Coach unveiled an all-new, redesigned 2016 American Eagle at the Florida RV SuperShow. For nearly one month leading up to the launch, motorhome enthusiasts across the country anxiously awaited the reveal, were tempted with a “teaser” video and images, and prepared for what now has become a monumental transformation in the history of luxury-designed motorcoaches.  

The all-new design was guided by a hint of European flair. The infusion blended modern-contemporary design with luxury fashion. The Eagle is aesthetically flawless, inside-and-out. With a sleek, custom artistic hand-painted fade design that extends from the front to rear of the coach and a virtually breathtaking pairing of lines, dimensions, and contours the palette of exterior colors and interior décor creates an inspirational luxury design.      

“Since accepting the role of American Coach Director, I have had the pleasure of taking part in not one but two successful product launches,” says Lenny Razo, Director of American Coach. “We reintroduced a new 2016 American Allegiance in December, and now a 2016 American Eagle in January. It is an honor because every day our sales team and I are talking with motorcoach owners about how they use their coach and what they would like to see. We take that feedback, and as you can see, we have designed two beautifully-innovative coaches as a result.”

The 2016 American Eagle features more than 200 new advancements and innovative changes. Some of the most talked about features include:

• Optional Emergency Exit Door
• Ergonomic Driver Dash with dual 10” monitors flanking the driver seat
• Digital LCD Instrument & Gauge Display Panel with Visual Customization Feature
• iPad Integration to Dash for passenger/user GPS navigation, radio, camera, and systems control
• Optional Heated & Cooled Driver & Passenger Captain’s Chairs
• Galley Pull-Out Extension with Flush-Mount Top Design
• Residential Walk-In Shower, Full Glass Wall/Door, Teak Flooring & Teak Seat
• Ambient and In-Direct Lighting Throughout
• Liberty Chassis with V-Ride and custom ZF® i-Tag Independent Tag Axle Suspension
• Optional Rigid Thermofoil Cabinetry
• Polished Porcelain Tile with Room Border & Decorative Glass Stone Inserts Throughout

“Since our launch in Tampa, we are hearing incredible things about the 2016 American Eagle. Motorcoach owners are excited and that is what we hope for. We look forward to continuing to design the luxury that motorcoach owners are passionate about” says Razo.

Fleetwood, American Coach Add to Model Lines

Fleetwood RV and American Coach are showing new models and features to consumers at this week’s 2014 America’s Largest RV Show in Hershey, Pa.

“New for all Fleetwood models is our newest wood stain color, Butternut,” said John Draheim, president and CEO of Fleetwood RV and American Coach, in a press release. “We are fortunate for loyal customers that continue to provide us such positive feedback on our products. It is important to us that we continue to bring them more options and include their feedback in our newest designs. The Butternut wood color is just that.”

Among those new models is the recently debuted Fleetwood Discovery 37R, which received a positive review in MotorHome Magazine. The Discovery 37R is now available to consumers at Fleetwood dealerships.

“We received a very positive review in Motorhome Magazine on our 37R Discovery, and dealer response has also been very positive,” said Draheim. “This will be the first major show where consumers get a chance to see the 37R, and additionally where they get to see our new light Butternut wood option.”

Also on display is a special issue Fleetwood Storm, the 28MS Game-Day Edition. The Storm is optioned with special tailgate lifestyle features like a Weber grill, outdoor refrigerator, slideout bar, extra-length awning, exterior 50-inch LED HDTV and HD satellite system. “The Game-Day special edition takes all your dream tailgate features and puts them in a compact and affordable Class A, just in time for football season,” said Director of Marketing Steven Hileman.

Expanding the selection of Fleetwood Discovery Class A diesel options for customers, an all-new 37R is a quad-slide, single bath floor plan with a free-standing recliner/footrest, freestanding dinette, fireplace, and opposing sofa with air mattress. The coach also includes a stackable washer/dryer unit in the master bedroom. The 37R is the only Discovery floorplan to include an L-shaped pull-out counter extension which expands to increase linear counter footage in the kitchen area. The coach includes an 8.0kW Onan Quiet Diesel generator with slide.

American Coach will also reveal a new wood color at the show, Toffee. The new lighter wood option offers an additional premium hand-rubbed hardwood cabinetry option to consumers.  

“Our customers and dealers have been asking for another wood color option and we’re very pleased with the result. The new Toffee wood color turned out fantastic and we think consumers will agree,” states Lenny Razo, Director of Sales for the Eastern Region. “We are also showing our first single-bath, single rear-axle American Coach in many years.”

Referring to the new quad-slide American Revolution 39A shown for the very first time this week at the Hershey event, Razo added, “This new floorplan gives consumers a wider variety of floorplan configurations within the American Coach family without giving up the amenities they are so accustomed to.”

The American Revolution is the only coach in the lineup with a shorter, more space-conscious design, offering a single-bath that allows owners access from the living quarters and master bedroom and includes a double glass-bowl vanity with overhead cabinetry. With a quad-slide layout, the 39A provides a comfortable living area with L-shaped sofa transformer, which converts to a 95-inch-by-70-inch bed, and an Ekornes consul-plus chair. The all-new Revolution 39A is a perfect option for owners who want to experience the same quality luxury of an American Coach without the extra length.

Fleetwood RV products and factory representatives will be available in Booth No. 519 at the Giant Center in Hershey.  American Coach is located in Booth No. 521. For more information about Fleetwood RV products, visit www.FleetwoodRV.com.
