Fleetwood has a line of "Crossovers"?

Marketing. Supposed to be a hybrid of a class A and C - The ACE started this (A and C Evolution). I didn't buy mine for that reason though and frankly the distinction bothers me. Fleetwood is referring to the FR3 which is a clone of the ACE. It's a Class A with an electric bunk. That's all. Just like the ones you see in a lot of MH's now even DP's. It's a Class A, there's really nothing C about them. Again, marketing. Trying to bridge the purchase gap between the C and A market. Price point is really the only thing similar. But these are Class A's built on the F53 chassis.

Are these built on the Van chassis rather than the F53 chassis? Maybe that is the difference.

It's a small Class A Gas unit. 26-29 foot "Flair"

According to Fleetwood's site:

"Class A gas motorhome packed with style and amenities that you typically find in a class C. So many features for less! Think of it as a crossover-hybrid style motorhome"

Again it's all about marketing. it's a class A on an F53 chassis. But it has "features" of a Class C according to them. Not sure what those features are as just about any brand now makes one with a bunk. Somehow having an electric bunk makes it like a Class C with a cab-over. Silly. But that's their marketing strategy. The Storm, Terra and Flair are in this lineup. I guess they didn't want to make a brand new model to compete with the FR3 and ACE so they just re-branded the staples in their existing entry level line-up.

Winnebago has also launched a new line to compete with ACE/FR3. Actually they seem to have just rebadged the old Vista line as "Vista LX", while the plain Jane "Vista" is the ACE/FR3 equivalent.

Ya gotta LOVE those marketing folks, selling us the same stuff with new names.
