Joel & Jerrie Crawford Joel Crawford is now on his eighth RV and he says they just keep getting better. He and his wife, Jerrie, along with their dog, Beau, love to hop in their 35-foot Type A Motorhome and take off on the spur of the moment. Its an easy escape. You dont have to pack or unpack, Joel says. We keep the RV loaded. We keep our clothes in there all the time, so we just put the perishables in and were gone. Its a convenient way to travel. Im retired, so most of the time we get away in the middle of the week when nobody else is getting away, Joel says. A lot of times we just go up into the mountains and hide for three or four days. Joel became an RV owner in his thirties when he got tired of borrowing his parents RV and decided it was time to get one of his own. And, over the years, he and Jerrie have traveled the southern half of the United States from coast to coast and up the east side of the Rockies and down the west side, border to border. Joel said the conveniences of their RV make it seem like they were never away from home. Its a trouble-free way to travel. The Crawfords 10 grandchildren are RVing fans, as well. Joel and Jerrie have taken them to Disney World, Opryland and Dollywood, to name just a few places. A lot of people think an RVs hard to drive, but thats just not true. You get used to it. For me, it was always there. It was in my blood. And dogs are fans of the RV, too. The Crawfords once had a dog named Chuck who had an amazing ability to read road signs, they say. Chuck would look out the window, and every time he saw a road sign for a rest area, hed jump off the seat and wait by the door, Joel says, laughing. And Beau just likes to get up on the dash and bark at the trucks. Joel & Jerrie Crawford, Lawrenceville, GA Tim & Lynne Polley Tim Polley has been RV camping his entire life. And now hes introducing a third generation of Polleys to the experience. I started RV camping with my parents. We started out with a folding camping trailer, then moved up to a 16-foot travel trailer and then to a 24-foot travel trailer with all the amenities, he says. And then I got married. My wife, Lynne, and I both love being outdoors. We started tent camping, but as we got older, it was taking an entire day for our weary bones to recover. So, about a year ago, we bought a folding camping trailer of our own. Its great for comfort. And it provides better protection from the weather. I dont want to forget to mention how important our dealer was in assisting us to pick the right trailer for us and helping take care of our service issues. They have been a very vital part of Lynnes and my RV experience. So far, theyve used their RV for trips through Iowa and Illinois. One highlight from their RV excursions so far? A two-week visit to Colorado. The kids are enjoying the RV as well. It keeps them active and stops em from being couch potatoes. We are able to bring our bikes along with us, and so we can all go bike riding together. Were able to teach our kids about the outdoors. And teach them how to rough it a little bit. With RVing, youre able to develop a closeness with people. At night, my wife and I like to walk around the campgrounds. You say hello to the people there and start having conversations with each otherwhere youre from, what you do for a living. And from those conversations, you form friendships. I think you talk to people at RV campgrounds more than you would in everyday life. Tim & Lynne Polley, Moline, IL Geula Resnick (and friends) Geula Resnicks RV is NOT going to the dogs. But it IS going to the dog shows. After all, she bought her RV three years ago with the express purpose of going to dog shows. Geula shows Rottweilers. She and her husband, David, own three: Monty, Riley and Charley, along with two Manchesters: Redi and Lola. Geula says the motivation behind getting their RV was simple: The convenience, she says. Being able to have all the dogs with methose were the main reasons we got an RV. For the people, its more comfortable. And for the dogs it is, too. Without an RV, our dogs would to travel to the shows in crates, but this way, we can let them have the run of the RV. With an RV, youre able to bring the comforts of home with youfor you and for your dogs. The Denver resident uses her 28-foot Type A Motorhome to take her dogs (as well as friends and their dogs) to shows throughout Colorado, New Mexico, Arkansas and Nebraska. She has been showing dogs for about five years now and loves the pastime. She says that owning an RV has made the experience all the easierand more enjoyable. When we take our RV with us, well usually stay on the show site. Everyone parks together. Its a very social atmosphere at dog shows. RVs are a very popular mode of transportation among the dog show crowd. Out of about 100 members of our local Rottweiler club, I would say about 15 of us own RVs. And at a good-sized dog show, youll probably see anywhere from 40 to 50 RVs there for the weekend. I know people who have ordered custom RVs just to accommodate their dogs. Geula Resnick (and friends), Denver, CO Steve & Becky Miller Steve Miller and his wife, Becky, are RV veterans and have the friendships to prove it. In 1989, they purchased their first folding camping trailer so they could take family trips with their four-year-old son. But they soon realized that RVing isnt just a convenient way to travel with all the comforts of home. Its also a great way to meet new people and forge lifelong friendships with other RVers. It was at a campground in Myrtle Beach, S.C., that Steve and Becky met and befriended Bill, his wife, Jean, and their two children. And through them, they met Jerry, his wife, Joyce, and their grandson. The group hit it off and have been friends ever since. We have become friends with people we would not have met if we did not camp, Steve says. People we didnt even know when we purchased our first small camper have now become important to us. In 1994, with their son then nine years old, the Millers traded for a slightly larger towable RV. It was perfect for their trips to the Fort Wilderness Resort at Disney World, Williamsburg, Va., and Busch Gardens parks. Camping in our pop-ups has afforded us opportunities to go places we otherwise would not have gone, Steve says. When their son was almost 15 years old, the Millers were ready for another upgrade. That's when they bought the larger folding camping trailer they have to this day. This camper hasn't gone to Atlanta, Disney or Williamsburg, but it has continued the tradition of enabling us to be with friends that we have grown closer to over the years. Steve summed his feelings up best when he said, Vacationing any other way simply would not have yielded the same quality of life results. Steve & Becky Miller, Asheboro, NC ©2005 Go RVing, Inc.

Luxury RV Market Date:

Fractional Ownership Comes to High End Luxury RV Market | Power PR home about us news services clients contact newsletter PR Articles PR Today Publicity tips that can help you increase your sales leads Email: PowerPR: Articles Fractional Ownership Comes to High End Luxury RV Market Date: 07/25/2005 The following release was created by Power PR, a business to business marketing public relations firm based in Torrance, California. (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.
