Camping World Announces New Store Opening in Churchville, New York; Nation's Largest Retailer of RV and Outdoor Supplies and Accessories Opens New Store Along Side Meyer's RV Super Stores

CHURCHVILLE, N.Y.--May 1, 2006--Camping World, the nation's largest retailer of RV and outdoor supplies and accessories, today announced the opening of a new retail store in Churchville, New York. The store is co-located with Meyer's RV Super Stores, a member of the dynamic FreedomRoads RV dealer network, at 1000 Sanford Road North off of I-490.

The new 42,000 square foot combined facility includes 5,300 square feet of retail space and boasts nine service bays and one wash bay. With over 8000 sku's available from basic camping and outdoor accessories to hard to find RV parts, the full service, state-of-the-art store provides customers with all of their RV, outdoor, camping accessory and service needs. Camping World prides itself on same day installs, with walk in and scheduled appointments all welcome. The store is open 7 days per week for customer convenience.

The Churchville Camping World is the latest opening with new stores recently opened in Burlington, Washington, Ft. Worth, Texas, and Syracuse, New York. J.J. Kaye Camping World Northeast District Manager said, "Churchville promises to be a great market for us and we promise to be a great resource for the market by combining these two perfectly matched organizations."

Camping World President Mark Boggess commented that, "We're developing great momentum in this region having just opened up another Camping World store a few weeks back at Meyer's RV Super Stores in Syracuse. Our customers are benefiting from the synergies that the co-located facilities bring both in terms of convenience and taking advantage of cross promotions."

Some of those cross-promotional synergies include a Camping World certificate of $250 for customers who purchase a towable RV and a $500 certificate for those who purchase a motorized RV from Meyer's RV Super Stores or any FreedomRoads dealership. In addition, customers purchasing an RV will receive a one year Camping World President's Club membership which provides members with Camping World discounts, a free subscription to RV View magazine, free RV accessories through member product testing and other member benefits.

The brisk expansion of Camping World is well timed to respond to growing consumer demand as the outlook for the RV and RV and outdoor supplies and accessories market burgeons, topping lists of US growth industries. A recent study by the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center found that one in 12 U.S. vehicle-owning households now own an RV. There are now 7.9 million households in the U.S. with a RV. This figure indicates a 58 percent rise in RV ownership since 1980. This study also anticipates similar growth in the future, thus providing the catalyst for additional Camping World stores across the country.
