Monaco Coach Corp. Debuts 'Dodge-themed' Travel Trailers, 5th Wheels, and Toy Haulers; Six Initial Floor Plans Give Dodge Fans Multiple Options

COBURG, Ore., Oct. 23 -- Monaco Coach Corporation, one of the nation's leading manufacturers of luxury recreational vehicles, announced today that it has begun to ship its new line of Dodge-themed travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers to dealers. The Dodge-licensed RVs are scheduled to go to approximately 200 dealers in about 150 cities.

In May, Monaco Coach Corporation initiated a three-year licensing agreement with Dodge for exclusive brand rights to produce towable recreational vehicles under the Dodge brand name and sporting the distinctive Dodge Ram logo. The interior and exterior design elements are also exclusive to the Dodge product line.

"We are proud to bring these one of a kind Dodge-themed RVs to the recreational vehicle marketplace," said John Nepute, President of Monaco Coach Corporation. "These towable products reflect the design innovations, performance and top quality that both Dodge and Monaco Coach are known for in our respective industries."

The Dodge-themed RVs are initially available in six floor plans and in various lengths ranging from approximately 27 feet to 37 feet, and with dry tow weights between approximately 3,400 pounds and 10,400 pounds. All the units include full kitchen, full bathroom, a queen-sized master bed and various sofa beds. Five of the floor plans include electric slide-out walls that give owners expanded interior space. For more information, including dealership locations, contact 1-574-268-2111.

"The Dodge-themed RVs present a great opportunity for Monaco Coach to give Dodge owners and fans of the legendary brand a first class Monaco RV experience by way of a unique product they can be proud to pull to sporting events such as motor sports races, outdoor recreational resorts or national park campsites," said Bob Froschauer, National Sales Manager for the Dodge-themed towables.

Nepute noted, "Dodge customers and Monaco Coach RV owners are individuals who appreciate good vehicle design, best-of-class power and handling capabilities, attention to detail, quality of manufacturing, world class customer service and plenty of luxury features. The Dodge towables will give Dodge owners the chance to enjoy the unique style and appearance of both their RV and the vehicle pulling it."
