DECATUR, Ind., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetwood RV, Inc., a leading producer of Class A and Class C recreational vehicles, announced the launch of its limited edition 2010 Quest, a value-priced Class C diesel motor home built on the fuel-efficient Dodge(R) Sprinter chassis. This limited production run of 150 units will be available at select Fleetwood RV dealers nationwide.

The 2010 Quest is available in two 24-feet, single slide-out models: a rear bath floor plan with opposing sofa beds (24E); and a rear gaucho dinette with sofa sleeper and optional Queen air mattress sofa bed floor plan (24L). Low profile cap and overhead 26"LCD TVs are standard on both models. Customers can also select the optional cab-over bed with 19" LCD TV and DVD player.

"The 2010 Quest combines the fuel-efficiency of our Icon and Pulse motor homes with the value pricing of our traditional Class C motor homes," said John Draheim, president of Fleetwood RV, Inc. "The market's response to Quest has been better than expected. Our entire production run sold out in two weeks, and dealers are retailing them as fast as we can deliver them."

"Our customers love the 2010 Quest," said Loren Baidas, owner of General RV, located in Michigan, Ohio, Florida and Utah. "Both models are equipped with a multitude of standard features and increased sleeping capacities - even without the optional cabover bed, plus its price point makes it difficult to ignore."

MSRP for the 2010 Quest starts at $84,000. For more information about the 2010 Quest, or any Fleetwood RV, Inc. motor homes, please call 1-800-322-8216 or visit www.fleetwoodrv.com.
