Recreation USA Announces Money-Back Guarantee And Expanded Warranty

    FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 7 In an effort to boost
consumer confidence and distinguish itself from its competition, Holiday RV
Superstores, Inc. has adopted the industry's first money-back
guarantee as well as expanded warranty program.

    The Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.-based RV and marine retailer, which operates
under the tradename Recreation USA, plans to test these two consumer
initiatives at its eight stores in Florida beginning in late summer.  Based on
consumer response, Recreation USA will consider expanding the programs to
include all 16 stores in its nationwide retail network.

    "Over the past several months, we have seen a shift in our product mix as
consumers continue to turn to previously owned recreational vehicles," said
Marcus Lemonis, president of Recreation USA.  "We feel that these initiatives
will make purchasing a used vehicle easier for consumers by demonstrating that
Recreation USA stands behind every vehicle we sell.

    "We are committed to being the industry leader by setting higher standards
for sales and service.  Our new money-back guarantee and expanded warranty
offers consumers peace of mind -- and allows the Company to set itself apart
from our competition."

    The three-day money-back guarantee will cover all used "Quality Certified"
RVs sold in the state of Florida through Recreation USA.  Consumers will have
three days (72 hours) or 100 miles from the time when they take delivery of
their RV to return the vehicle for a full refund or exchange it for a vehicle
of their choice.  Consumers must have approved credit prior to taking delivery
of the vehicle; the guarantee does not cover "as is" vehicles.

    Recreation USA has also adopted a limited power train warranty that will
cover all "Quality Certified" used RVs sold at its Florida dealerships.  The
30-day or 1,000 mile warranty, which carries no additional cost to consumers,
is available on those vehicles that are under five years or 60,000 miles.  The
warranty will be honored at any one of Recreation USA's eight Florida
dealerships.

    "Consumers are making a big purchasing decision when they decide to buy an
RV or boat, and we want to make it as comfortable as possible for them,"
Lemonis said.  "Our money-back guarantee and expanded warranty should go a
long way to boosting consumer confidence in our products -- and in Recreation
USA.
