luxury RVs that drivers

Motorized mansions / Drivers and crews on the NASCAR circuit are helping fuel a growing demand for top-end RVs Drivers and crews on the NASCAR circuit are helping fuel a growing demand for top-end RVs" / SFGate Home Business Sports Entertainment Travel Jobs Real Estate Autos SFGate News Web by Motorized mansions Drivers and crews on the NASCAR circuit are helping fuel a growing demand for top-end RVs Susan Fornoff, Chronicle Staff Writer Saturday, August 6, 2005 now part of stylesheet -- More... Printable Version Email This Article More H&G Articles The Latest Green Gardener -- When the work day is done for Kevin Hamlin, he looks forward to plenty of wife Patti's cooking, a bit of remote surfing on the flat-screen TV and a good night's sleep in the Hamlins' king-size bed. Never mind that the setting for the Hamlins' domestic bliss rolls. With Kevin on the road 100 or more days of the year as crew chief for Jeff Burton's No. 31 Cingular car, the couple (and their three dogs) live the NASCAR lifestyle in the roaming community of luxury RVs that drivers and crews call home. And, really, with amenities like these, who wouldn't? "Double sinks, two-burner stove, microwave convection oven," Patti points out on a tour of the Hamlins' 45-foot Newmar Essex when it was parked at Infineon Raceway for June's Dodge/Save Mart 350. "Big refrigerator-freezer, Corian counters, plasma TV, washer-dryer. Full shower, full bathroom. King-size bed, cedar-lined closet, another TV. Lots of storage, with oak woodwork crafted by the Amish in Michigan. "We looked at a lot of motor homes. A lot of them can get really high-tech and modern looking. We liked this one because it has a more homey feel. It's very comfortable." At about $350,000, it also cost more than the house on 2 1/2 acres the Hamlins own back in Mocksville, N.C. -- but not nearly as much as the granite-countered, designer-furnished, million-dollar monsters that many of the circuit's drivers call home on the road. Actually, "motor coach" is what they call them, a fairy-tale-derived term that helps distinguish them from those pumpkin campers of old. More and more, it's the luxury model that's driving $14 billion a year in sales of RVs, the most popular search term on EBay last year. "High-end RVs are a small portion of the total RV market, but it's the fastest growing segment," says Ken Sommer, media relations director for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association. "Today's high-end RV is fully loaded, it has all the bells and whistles, the high-tech entertainment system, high-tech gadgets, plasma screen TVs, surround sound, hookups to the Internet, gourmet kitchens, designer interiors, and, especially, slideouts. "Slideouts, where you have a button on the wall and the wall slides out to expand the interior of the living room or bedroom, are the hot thing today -- at our trade show, we just saw an RV with five slideouts. These alone are sparking sales." In 1992, fewer than 100 of the 203,400 RVs sold cost $200,000 or more; 10 years later, 11,600 of 311,000 RVs sold cost $200,000 or more. And that 11,600 increased nearly 20 percent over the next year. California's weather, state parks and even film industry make the luxury RV market particularly strong here. "I just wish I could bring my hot tub along," says Stanton Barrett, a Busch Series driver and Hollywood stuntman who takes his Fleetwood American Eagle out on the racing circuit. "With all the injuries from my stunts, I thought it would be good to be able to soak, but I just couldn't fit it in." Barrett actually does his own RV driving, unlike NASCAR's more prosperous drivers and top crew, who will board a team jet and head home (generally North Carolina) after Sunday's Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis to work on their cars, then reboard the team jet on Wednesday to head for Watkins Glen, N.Y., and the next race. By the time they land, often with families in tow, the luxury motor coach has arrived and been parked at a track-designated, security-patrolled area with RV hookups where the likes of Jeff Gordon and Al Unser Jr. can comfortably plant their families while shuttling to and from the nearby garage area. "The alternative is for the family to stay home and me to stay in a hotel,and that gets too hard," says driver Joe Nemecheck, whose Newell has four slideouts to comfortably house wife Andrea and their three kids. "This way, everybody's got their own space and their own toys, and we can spend time together." "The great appeal to them is to get to go home in the evening and be with their spouses and children," Sommer says. "A lot of them say it helps with their performance to be able to do that. That, and not having to pack and unpack the way you would in a hotel." For drivers and support personnel, the RV alternative runs laps around the hotel life. Access and egress at tracks hosting huge NASCAR events is notoriously horrendous, adding wasted minutes to the ride to a decent hotel. Drivers and crew often find themselves with short gaps in the workday that don't warrant leaving the track but do lend themselves to a quick nap in the motor coach or game of checkers with the kids. Like many frequent travelers, drivers worry about food poisoning and prefer the familiarity of a home-prepared meal. But here's something most of us don't have to think about: the emotional needs of our families while we're out risking our lives at speeds nearing 200 mph. "If anything happened to me, I would know that my family's in a place where they'd get the right support," Nemecheck says. The security comes not only from the 100 rolling homes congregating at most races, but from Motor Racing Outreach, a nonprofit Christian ministry that trucks around in a 53-foot hauler that carries, outreach staff member Monte Self says, "everything from foosball to TV" plus a fitness trailer for drivers and a staff for their kids. "On a typical weekend, there are about 37 kids here," says Self, who with his wife, Melanie, directs the community center. "It's nothing for a driver and his child to come to the community center and lie on the floor and play cards together." The Selfs sometimes lead field trips to nearby cities, and the families are by no means stuck at the track. All carry a "satellite vehicle" of some kind on the back. Stanton Barrett fits a Mini Cooper and two motocross bikes into a trailer; the Hamlins, who love wine-tasting and married at Chappellet Winery in St. Helena in 2003, tow a Chevy truck and have a pair of golf-cart-like vehicles for zipping around inside the track. RVs, of course, are not as much fun as race cars to handle or to park. "You don't need a special driver's license," Sommer says, "but you do need some training, which is usually provided by the dealer in a video or classes. The most important thing to remember is that driving an RV is different, but it's not difficult. Islands at gas stations are places where accidents might occur, because turning is going to be different, and backing up also takes practice." No wonder rear-view cameras have become standard equipment on even mid-priced RVs these days. And those popular slideouts can expand the RV for living and contract it for driving, a time when bigger isn't better. Even with single-digit gas mileage, Barrett guesses that he's saving money via luxury RV over planes, hotels and rental cars. When asked why a Californian wouldn't choose to live in a $300,000 RV rather than a $500,000 condo, he said he couldn't think of any reason. "I would live in one!" he says. "The only thing is your storage space. But I think if I got out of racing and wanted to travel a little, a motor home could be as nice as a home, especially if you spend a million or two." A million or two, figures Barrett, would get him more "cool stuff" and longer showers. "If your water tank's as small as mine," he notes, "10 minutes and you're out."
