(PRWEB) November 12, 2004 -- For the first time, fractional ownership of luxury RVs ranging in price from $250,000 to well over a million dollars is possible, with national delivery, pick up, provisioning, repair/maintenance, storage/cleaning, and roadside service included. Like fractional jet ownership—which has made VIP business jets available to executives and corporations—fractional RV owners enjoy use of a luxury capital good while jointly sharing expenses such as depreciation, maintenance, storage, and insurance. Once the typical three-year ownership agreement is completed, these high end RVs are typically sold, and the proceeds returned to fractional owners to further recoup their expenses. The result: individuals who only expect to use an RV for a portion of the year can buy into ownership of a million dollar palace on wheels at a fraction of the full cost of ownership. Companies such as Burr Ridge, Ill.-based American QuarterCoach (AQC), the first to introduce fractional ownership of luxury RVs on a national scale, are lowering costs as much as ten-fold compared to sole-ownership, while making the RV experience sheer vacationing pleasure. AQC, for instance, not only delivers deluxe RVs worth from a quarter-million to over a million dollars to the fractional owners doorstep from coast to coast, but also picks them up on return, plus stores, cleans, repairs, maintains, and outfits them. All the details, such as insurance, licensing, and even roadside service are included, as is an initial drivers training program/orientation to ensure maximum safety and comfort. Fractional owners can purchase shares from one-eighth (5 weeks annual usage) to one-half of a desired luxury RV (24 weeks annual usage) or a combination of shares depending on how much annual usage time they desire. There are three levels of RVs to choose from, including multi-million dollar units with amenities like 42 plasma TVs, Corinthian leather, monogrammed linens, and custom-inlaid Italian marble flooring and bath. On a still deluxe but less lavish scale, in the several hundred thousand-dollar vehicle price range, are 40-foot motor coaches such as the Monaco Camelot with in-motion, satellite TV and multiple slide-outs for extra living space. I bought a 5-week a year share for about one-tenth the annual cost I wouldve spent on my own RV, says Chris Turner, an Ann Arbor, Mich. helicopter company owner. AQC allowed us to own a $300,000 motor home at a price we could justify. With the savings freed up, we can take both deluxe RV and non-RV vacations as the mood strikes, with no waste or guilt. High Cost, High Headache Traditional RV Ownership Until now, hard-working professionals wanting a quality RV experience have had little choice in the marketplace. Theyve typically had to tie up from a quarter-million to a million dollars or more to buy an RV they may use just several weeks a year. Rental RVs, because they are a mass-market product, simply dont offer the size, style, or features desired. Before turning to fractional RV ownership, Chris Turner faced the dilemma confronting many upscale professionals wanting to provide a quality RV experience for themselves and their loved ones. Though Turner treasured the togetherness, natural beauty, and variety that RV-ing brought his family, he found it hard to justify the purchase of a high-end RV for the occasional family outing. When he bit the bullet and finally bought one, he found his family used it no more than several weeks a year. The total expense - including provisioning, depreciation, maintenance, storage, insurance, and licensing, as well as the hard work of prepping it for each trip and cleaning/storing it afterward began to grate on my nerves, explains Turner. I felt guilty every time I drove past my storage facility, with $300,000 of RV sitting there, unused. Turner sold his RV. He didnt miss the thousand-dollar repair/maintenance bills, paying for insurance, or licensing. He didnt miss the full day of work it took to prep the RV for use, including pulling it from storage, sanitizing the tanks, loading fresh water and supplies, and checking the air, oil, fluids, battery, and generator. He certainly didnt miss cleaning the entire RV, including linen and utensils, plus winterizing it for storage on the return trip. What Turner missed were the look in his wife and daughters eyes when they were on the road, in the midst of an adventure, when their focus was on each other, and not the never-ending to do list in each of their lives. I tried renting an RV, says Turner, but we ended up with a bottom-of-the-line, 25-foot, class C unit. It was completely unequipped, with just 100 miles a day for mileage. That wasnt what we were looking for. Turner was about to buy another high-end RV, with the caveat that RV-ing would be the familys primary vacation experience. Cruises, flying to Mexico, and other more typical vacations, would be out, to avoid keeping a quarter-of-a-million dollar RV sitting around unused. Turners wife, Sherri, was not pleased with having to choose between RV-ing and taking other types of vacations. We realized we wanted the quality RV experience, but without the expenses and responsibilities of a full-time, lifestyle commitment, explains Turner, who found what he was looking for through fractional RV ownership with AQC. High-End, Worry-Free RV Ownership In traveling to locations such as Californias Sequoia National Park from his home in Ann Arbor, Mich., Turner discovered that AQCs RV drop off and pick up capability is a major benefit for those living far from their destinations. At Turners request, the company arranged to have his motor home waiting for him in California, so he was able to fly in from Michigan, board his fully-equipped RV, with gas tank topped off, and hit the road bound for redwood country. While driving the RV is fun anywhere, my pressed schedule doesnt allow me to drive for thousands of miles to and from a destination, says Turner. Because we were able to fly to California, board our ready-to-go RV, and spend most our time enjoying the scenic route and destination, our trip was that much more memorable. On leaving, AQC picked up our RV, allowing us to simply fly home, while they took care of the details. On other trips, such as a family jaunt to enjoy a Nascar race, the company has delivered the motor coach right to Turners door in Ann Arbor, Mich. What Turner enjoys is that fractional ownership has taken the hassle and cost out of RV-ing. Everything we need is right there, whether dishes, towels, grills, or lawnchairs, says Turner. Theres nothing to forget, and no mechanical problems to speak of because the coach is superbly maintained. If theres ever a problem, we just call AQC and they send someone to fix it. Its worry-free with no out-of-pocket costs, other than what you spend on gas and groceries. RV-ing that Suits Your Lifestyle Now and into Retirement Those new to RV-ing are finding that fractional ownership fits their needs as well. Norm Yop, a realty company owner in Salinas, Cal., was looking for a way to test if RV-ing was right for he and his wife. My family and friends loved RV-ing and I was intrigued by it, but reluctant to tie up a large amount of capital in a venture that might not suit us, says Yop. Like Turner, Yop found renting a turnoff because he could not find a RV in the size, style, or with the amenities he wanted. Jointly, with his real estate business partner, Yop purchased 5-week a year fractional RV ownership through AQC. Yop appreciated the RV training program, which helped him get up to speed quickly on driving the vehicle and its use. So far, Yop and his wife have RVed to Banff, Canada and Glacier National Park, and love the experience. The program allows us to own a first-class motor home that suits our schedule, without tying up capital, says Yop. We can use the RV for a few weeks and not worry about maintaining it all year long. As I wind down the pace of my business in the next few years, Im planning to buy a larger fractional share with even more deluxe amenities, concludes Yop. Its the perfect way to enjoy RV-ing both when youve got a demanding career, and when you want to ease into retirement. # # # For additional information about the client, the release or for photography please contact Power PR.

If you own a recreational vehicle or are planning on buying one, it's important to review the rules on where you can park it. What is a Recreational Vehicle? A recreational vehicle is a vehicle, portable structure, trailer or watercraft that can be towed, hauled, carried on a vehicle or trailer, or driven. It is designed to be used for travel or recreational purposes, and includes a motor home (class A or C), travel trailer, fifth wheel trailer, tent trailer, truck camper, boat, canoe, kayak, snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle, jet ski, or other similar vehicle. A trailer designed to carry an item listed above is not a recreational vehicle. What Regulations Should I Be Aware Of? The Regina Zoning Bylaw No. 9250 and the Regina Traffic Bylaw No. 9900 regulate parking in residential areas to preserve the appearance and safety of your neighbourhood. They take into account your wish to have convenient access to your RV and the needs of your neighbours who may be concerned about the appearance of the neighbourhood and the enjoyment of their own property. A licensed or unlicensed recreational vehicle may be parked on your property subject to the following Zoning Bylaw and Traffic Bylaw regulations: Zoning Bylaw No. 9250 Front Yard Parking A licensed or unlicensed recreational vehicle may be parked in your front yard in a legal parking spot. A legal front yard parking stall is a driveway that leads to an attached garage, or that leads to a detached garage, carport or parking pad located in the side or rear yard. Seasonal front yard parking restrictions apply to certain types of RVs (see below). The parking of any licensed or unlicensed vehicle, including a recreational vehicle, on the lawn or other areas of the front yard is prohibited . Seasonal Restrictions From October 1 to April 30 , licensed and unlicensed motor homes (class A and C), travel trailers, fifth wheel trailers and boats are prohibited everywhere in the front yard , including driveways and legal front yard parking stalls .(see diagram below). These seasonal restrictions do not apply to tent trailers, truck campers, canoes, kayaks, snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, jet skis, or trailers designed to carry one of these items. Side and Rear Yard Parking Licensed and unlicensed recreational vehicles may be parked in the side and/or rear yard provided that they comply with the recreational vehicle limit (two vehicles), the requirement that any unlicensed vehicle be in operable condition, and the applicable Traffic Bylaw regulations. Number of Recreational Vehicles Per Property The total number of recreational vehicles per property cannot exceed two. This total includes both unlicensed and licensed recreational vehicles. For example, if you have one licensed RV and one unlicensed RV on your property, you have two recreational vehicles. You could not add any more recreational vehicles to the property. Unlicensed Vehicles Every unlicensed recreational vehicle must be maintained in operable condition. Operable condition means that the vehicle can start and move on its own power. Screening/Covering of Vehicles Licensed and unlicensed recreational vehicles are not required to be screened or covered. Traffic Bylaw No. 9900 Required Setback Licensed and unlicensed recreational vehicles must be parked a minimum of 2.0 metres (6.5 feet) from the back of the sidewalk (or the back of the curb where there is no sidewalk). Unlicensed Vehicles Unlicensed vehicles, including RVs, cannot be parked on City property. This includes the City property located between your property line and the sidewalk (or curb). Street Parking An RV is treated the same as any other vehicle in that it cannot be parked on the street for longer than 24 hours except for Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
