Shopping for a new Fleetwood Discovery or a used Fleetwood Discovery? MHSRV stocks one of the largest selections of Fleetwood Discovery motorhomes for sale in the country, all backed by industry-leading discount pricing.
The Discovery sits between the Fleetwood Frontier and the Fleetwood Discovery LXE in the diesel pusher lineup, and the Palisade is Fleetwood's top-tier diesel. It gives buyers the Freightliner XCM chassis, hand-laid porcelain tile flooring with heated tile in the living area, an Encore Series King bed on every floor plan, and Aqua Hot 400D climate without crossing into the upper-tier LXE price. It's a fit for buyers stepping up from a Fleetwood gas coach, snowbirds who want diesel torque for mountain passes, and shoppers who want a true diesel pusher under 41 feet.
Freightliner XCM Chassis and Cummins ISB
Every Discovery runs the Freightliner Custom Chassis XCM with the Freedom Bridge foundation, the Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel at 360 hp and 800 lb-ft (peak torque at 1,800 rpm), the Allison 3000 MH 6-speed transmission, and a Delco Remy 160-amp alternator.
The 38K and 38N share a 252-inch wheelbase; the 38L and 38W stretch to 263 inches. Every current floor plan carries a 12,600-lb front axle, 21,000-lb rear axle, 10,000-lb trailer hitch, and 100-gallon fuel tank. Chassis-side standard equipment includes the V-Series suspension with VFS front suspension, V-Ride Technology, Freightliner BrakeSync, and tire pressure monitoring.
Aqua Hot 400D, Climate, and Safe-T-View
Climate control uses three 15,000 BTU roof A/Cs with a rear heat pump and the Aqua Hot 400D system for unlimited hot water and even interior heat without recovery time.
Safe-T-View routes side-view and backup camera feeds onto the interior televisions so they double as a driving aid when the coach is in motion.
Standard Equipment
The Discovery includes the MultiPlex house control system (lighting, slides, awning, and other systems from a smartphone or tablet), maintenance-free citadel-lined luggage compartments, a one-piece fiberglass exterior roof, and residential-style furniture from Apex Custom Furniture.
Recent production units carry redesigned doors and drawers plus a pivot door at the mid-bath. Black hardware is standard, with chrome hardware available as a factory option.
Technology Package and Starlink (Optional)
Collision Mitigation by Mobileye is available through the optional Technology Package, which also bundles a 330-watt solar panel upgrade, a Wi-Fi Extender Pro Pack with LTE, a cell signal booster, and the FireFly Eclipse module for remote app access via Wi-Fi.
Starlink Satellite is available as a separate factory option. Neither the Technology Package nor Starlink is standard equipment; both are factory-order options.
Exterior
Every Discovery includes an 18-foot patio awning, a 100-watt rooftop solar panel, an exterior entertainment center, and generous pass-through luggage storage. Fleetwood offers several full-body paint schemes.
Interior and Kitchen
The cabin carries hand-laid porcelain tile flooring throughout, residential-style sofas by Apex Custom Furniture, and multiple décor and cabinet finish combinations. A Motion Power Lounge is available as a factory option in place of the standard jackknife sofa, and a Hide-A-Loft electric drop-down bed over the cab can be added to any floor plan.
The galley pairs a residential refrigerator with in-door ice and water, a 240V induction cooktop, a convection microwave, and a pantry. A flip-up galley top extension is standard on the 38K; a pull-out galley top extension is standard on the 38W. A dishwasher is available as a factory option. Dinette configuration varies by floor plan.
Sleeping and Baths
Every Discovery floor plan carries an Encore Series King bed (72 x 80) in the rear master with flanking wardrobes, a dresser, and a step-up master bath with a 50 x 28 shower with built-in seat. The 38L and 38W add dual sinks in the master bath.
The 38N is the family bunk floor plan, with convertible bunk beds (28 x 73) behind barn doors that hold kids during travel and convert to storage when not needed. The 38K can also sleep up to 8, using the U-shaped dinette, jackknife sofa, and optional Hide-A-Loft drop-down bed.

Fleetwood Discovery FAQs
What is the Fleetwood Discovery?
The Fleetwood Discovery is a Class A diesel pusher motorhome built on the Freightliner Custom Chassis XCM with the Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel. It sits in the middle of Fleetwood's Class A diesel lineup, with hand-laid porcelain tile flooring, Aqua Hot 400D climate, an Encore Series King bed standard on every floor plan, and residential furniture from Apex Custom Furniture. Fleetwood builds it in four floor plans (38K, 38L, 38N, 38W), and the 40G from earlier model years turns up in MHSRV's used inventory.
What chassis is the Discovery built on?
The Discovery runs the Freightliner Custom Chassis XCM with the Freedom Bridge foundation, the Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel at 360 hp and 800 lb-ft, the Allison 3000 MH 6-speed transmission, and a Delco Remy 160-amp alternator. Every current plan carries a 10,000-lb hitch and a 100-gallon fuel tank. Standard chassis equipment includes V-Series suspension, VFS front suspension, V-Ride Technology, Freightliner BrakeSync, and tire pressure monitoring.
Is the Discovery a diesel pusher?
Yes. The Discovery is a Class A diesel pusher, with the Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel mounted at the rear over the drive axle. Rear-engine diesels typically offer a quieter cabin, better weight distribution, and higher tow capacity than front-engine Class A or Class C gas coaches.
How much can the Discovery tow?
Every current Discovery carries a 10,000-lb trailer hitch and a 1,000-lb tongue weight rating. That covers most tow-behind passenger vehicles, including full-size SUVs and trucks. Confirm tow capacity on used units with your salesperson before towing.
What floor plans does the Discovery come in?
Fleetwood builds four Discovery floor plans: the 38K, 38L, 38N, and 38W. MHSRV also sees the 40G from earlier model years as a used coach. The 38K is the triple-slide, bath-and-a-half plan with the U-shaped dinette. The 38N is the dedicated bunk plan. The 38L and 38W ride the longer 263-inch wheelbase, and the 38W adds his-and-hers master bath sinks.
Does the Discovery come in a bunk model floor plan?
Yes. The Discovery 38N is the family bunk plan, with convertible bunk beds (28 x 73) behind barn doors at the rear. The bunks fold away when not needed, so the space stays useful after the kids outgrow them. The 38N also carries a sofa sleeper and the standard Encore Series King master.
What's the difference between the Discovery and the Discovery LXE?
Both are Fleetwood Class A diesel pushers on the Freightliner XCM chassis. The Discovery LXE sits one step up, with a Cummins ISL9 (380 or 450 hp) in place of the Discovery's 360-hp ISB 6.7L and a combined weight rating of up to 58,600 lb. The Palisade sits above both as Fleetwood's top-tier diesel. Pick the Discovery for its lower price and the family bunk 38N. Pick the Discovery LXE for more power and towing headroom.
What's the difference between the Discovery and the Bounder?
Both are Fleetwood Class A coaches, but the Discovery is a diesel pusher and the Bounder is a gas Class A. The Discovery runs the Freightliner XCM chassis with the Cummins ISB 6.7L (360 hp, 800 lb-ft). The Bounder runs the Ford F-53 chassis with the Ford 7.3L Triton V8 (335 hp, 468 lb-ft) and a 26,000-30,000-lb GCWR. The Discovery carries a 10,000-lb hitch vs the Bounder's 8,000-lb hitch. The Discovery also adds Aqua Hot 400D, three roof A/Cs with rear heat pump, porcelain tile flooring, and the Encore Series King master.
How does the Discovery handle off-grid power and safety tech?
A 100-watt solar panel is standard. The optional Technology Package upgrades that to a 330-watt panel and also adds Collision Mitigation by Mobileye, a Wi-Fi Extender Pro Pack with LTE, a cell booster, and the FireFly Eclipse remote-access module. Starlink Satellite is a separate factory option. Safe-T-View camera integration and Freightliner BrakeSync are standard.
Do I need a CDL to drive the Fleetwood Discovery?
In most cases, no commercial license is needed, but the Discovery's 33,600-lb GVWR puts it over 26,001 lb. Some states have their own rules for larger motorhomes or heavy combinations, such as a special non-commercial license class, and towing raises the combined weight. Check your state's DMV before you buy.
