Luxury. Comfort. Efficiency. Practicality. The Fleetwood Discovery RV is America's number one selling high-end diesel motor home, and we've enjoyed driving them because of their reliability, extensive list of wonderful features and solid economy. In today's unbelievable fuel situation, the Discovery's fuel economy actually means travelers can still enjoy America's highways, national parks, tourist attractions and more. Most of the other large motor homes average a terrible five or six miles per gallon, but the Discovery's computer-controlled Caterpillar turbo diesel with Allison transmission delivers a reliable, fuel-sipping nine to twelve miles per gallon, about twice the national average for large diesel-pusher RVs! You can afford to drive this coach!

Discovery Amenities

What makes a motor coach different from just an "RV", an upgrade from a mere "camper?" Unlike those low-end budget rentals the Discovery has many more creature-comfort features that earn it the label "motor coach." High-end coaches like the Discovery are nearly always turbocharged diesels because of that engine's quiet power, reliability and economy. It has features like 4 huge slide-outs to greatly increase your living space once parked. It offers a large, firm queen-sized rear bed, as comfy as home, with large windows to enjoy your view. Cedar-lined closets to store your clothing. A convenient washer-dryer. Ample storage both in the living area as well as lower storage bays. Leveling jacks which...obviously...level the coach for sleeping comfort. Cruise control, automatic Allison transmission, remote spotlight, AM/FM/CD stacker with surround sound, of course, along with large televisions in the forward living area and in the rear bedroom. Digital reception and satellite ready. A large, double-door refrigerator with ice maker. A huge shower with seat, and if you squeeze a bit, even a little tub to soak in! The Discovery means comfort and convenience while you travel. And all of this without the huge trashy labels commercial RV rental outfits slap all over their converted vans!

What the Carter's have added:

Our goal was to make our motor coach more of a bed & breakfast on wheels. To outfit it as we prefer to travel, and to make sure we've done everything possible to make our guests comfortable. We have placed brand new pots and pans in the kitchen, as well as new glassware and dishes for four (with place settings for four more in the lower storage bay.) We use Joan's grandmother's flatware because we love its weight and pattern. There are lots of brand new and useful kitchen tools. Guests will enjoy the French press coffee maker, Krups drip coffee maker, waffle maker, coffee grinder, bedroom clock radio/CD player, electronic radio weather station, toaster, espresso machine, and more. Guests will find fine milled soap in the bath. And a pound of wonderful fresh Starbucks coffee in the kitchen!

We've also placed a variety of DVDs, CDs and board games for your enjoyment, and a color multifunction printer in case you have work or photographs you want to handle. There are comfy lap rugs for cool evenings. If you'd enjoy an evening by the campfire, we've stored folding chairs, a ground cover and a gret quality BBQ grill for your use.

If you've elected to use our linens kit, the towels are all huge, fluffy and brand new. The rear queen bed has crisp new sheets and a comfy duvet and cover, so you'll get a great night's sleep! Lots of pillows in the coach.

In early June we learned about , and immediately purchased, a useful accessory for the diesel generator (remember...most rental RVs don't even have a generator!) This device attaches to the generator exhaust and side of the coach below the driver's window, and simply vents the noise and fumes above the coach. This is ideal for crowded camping situations like NASCAR and music festivals, and helps you be nicer to your neighbors as well, sparing them your noise and fumes if their RV's windows happen to be right next to your exhaust!
