CHICAGO - October 2, 2007: FreedomRoads/Camping World, the nation’s largest RV and outdoor retailer, today announced that it has acquired Beaudry RV San Diego adding to the fast growing retailer’s strong presence in the California market.

This area of California is an important market for the company. FreedomRoads operates several dealerships in the area including Stier’s RV Centers in Bakersfield, Stier’s RV Center of Ventura, Camping World RV Sales of Valencia, Camperland, as well the newly acquired Venture Out/Camping World RV Sales. The San Diego dealership is co-located with a Camping World retail store and will be renamed Camping World of San Diego.

Chairman and CEO of FreedomRoads/Camping World Marcus Lemonis commented, “The addition of Beaudry RV of San Diego is another important step toward our growth of this critically important market. With all of the dealerships and Camping World stores we are bringing the RV consumer unprecedented choice and convenience. This area is an RV shopping destination and our company is strengthening the appeal with our continued growth here. ”

FreedomRoads/Camping World plan to anchor the San Diego location with the entire Fleetwood motorized lineup as well as Dutchmen and Keystone towables. Additionally, they will launch a Luxury RV category powered by American Coach, Monaco and Featherlite Luxury Motorcoach Bus Conversions.

The brisk expansion of FreedomRoads/Camping World business is well timed to respond to growing consumer demand as the outlook for the RV and RV 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 FreeedomRoads and Camping World stores across the country.
