WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 -- When President Bush needed a quiet, secure staging room during the 55th Presidential Inauguration, Monaco Coach Corporation , the market leader in high-end Class A diesel motorhomes, provided the president with one of its top of the line recreational vehicles, a $500,000 Monaco Signature motorhome.

The presidential Monaco coach was officially designated 'RV ONE' and was used by the president, members of the first family and other dignitaries at Wednesday's "A Celebration of Freedom" kick-off event at the Ellipse and during several of Thursday's inaugural balls.
"Monaco Coach is honored that the president had the opportunity to enjoy one of our motorhomes as his private accommodations during the 55th Presidential Inauguration," said Craig Wanichek, Director of Corporate Communications for Monaco Coach Corporation.
The sporty red and maroon Monaco Signature motorhome that was used by the president is equipped with collision avoidance radar, satellite communications, plasma TVs, four 'slide-outs' which are rooms that extend outward to expand the interior, plus numerous other luxuries that are more often associated with high-end custom homes.
A second luxury motorhome, a silver Safari Cheetah, also provided by Monaco Coach for the inauguration, was used during the "A Celebration of Freedom" event as a holding room for various dignitaries and entertainers, including The Temptations and Patti LaBelle.
Headquartered in Coburg, Oregon, with additional manufacturing facilities in Central Oregon and Indiana, Monaco Coach Corporation is one of the nation's leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles. The company offers entry- level priced towable RVs up to custom made luxury recreational vehicle models under the Monaco, Holiday Rambler, Safari, Beaver, McKenzie and Royale Coach brand names.
