Fleetwood RV Announces Program With Nation's Leading Membership Warehouse Club

Leading RV Company Aligns With SAM'S CLUB to Provide RVers With Greater Value

    RIVERSIDE, Calif., Aug. 27 Fleetwood RV, the nation's
leading recreational vehicle manufacturer, today announced a marketing
alliance with SAM'S CLUB, a division of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., to provide
exclusive purchase incentives to SAM'S CLUB members in select markets.  The
alliance combines the country's largest provider of recreational vehicles with
the leading warehouse club in the U.S., which currently has more than
490 domestic locations.  The program will be introduced into the Kansas City
and Indianapolis markets beginning August 27, 2001.
    The program will allow SAM'S CLUB members the unprecedented opportunity to
buy a new Fleetwood RV at a pre-negotiated discount, which they will purchase
at a nearby participating Fleetwood RV dealership.  Fleetwood's recreational
vehicle line includes motor homes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and truck
campers.  In addition to significant savings on their new RVs, card members
will also receive a SAM'S CLUB gift card that can be used towards the purchase
of items they may need for their next vacation in their new Fleetwood RV.
    "Fleetwood's Housing Group has had an alliance working with SAM'S CLUB for
several months," said John Ables, director of marketing for Fleetwood RV.
"Now, we are excited to have an RV program that will drive incremental traffic
to our dealers' lots while providing another significant member value to SAM'S
CLUB members."
