Canada's Triple E RV Selects KVH TracVision for 2004 Model Year Class A Coaches

Triple E to Pre-wire New Coaches for TracVision Satellite TV; Offer Award- winning TracVision Systems as Standard Option

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., June 16 -- KVH Industries announced today that Canadian recreational vehicle manufacturer Triple E RV has chosen the KVH TracVision(R) line of satellite TV antennas as a standard option on its three premier 2004 model year motor homes. Triple E's Commander, Signature, and Empress coach models will each be pre-wired for TracVision satellite TV installation with customers having the option to choose either the in-motion TracVision LF or stationary, automatic TracVision SF satellite TV antennas.

"The continuing expansion of the Canadian satellite TV marketplace is reflected not only in the increasing number of home subscribers but also the growing demand of in-motion satellite TV," remarked Ian Palmer, KVH's vice president of satellite sales. "We are very pleased that Triple E RV, a leader in the Canadian RV industry, has elected to offer its customers our award- winning TracVision antennas to meet their demand for mobile access to their favorite TV news, entertainment, and music."

KVH will be supplying Triple E with the in-motion TracVision LF and the stationary, automatic TracVision SF satellite TV systems. Each of these advanced systems provide access to more than 300 channels of digital TV programming and commercial-free music via Canada's ExpressVu satellite TV service, as well as DIRECTV(R) and DISH Network(TM) in the United States. The TracVision LF and SF antennas are each designed for factory installation and will be installed aboard motor homes built at Triple E's manufacturing facilities in Winkler, Manitoba. TracVision systems are available to Triple E RV customers through RiverPark, Inc., of Elkhart, Indiana, a leading distributor of KVH's satellite TV product line and other high-end electronics products.

"The retail requests for satellite TV in motorhomes in Canada has certainly increased over the last year. In response to these requests we have chosen to offer the TracVision SF and LF model satellite systems from KVH as optional equipment on our Commander, Signature, and Empress motorhomes beginning with our 2004 model year product," remarked Ron Vanderwees, operations and engineering manager of Triple E RV. "The standard pre-wire for the KVH equipment included with these models will also make dealer installation of these systems easier at the point of sale."
