Holiday RV Superstores Announces Board Changes

    ORLANDO, Fla., July 27 -- The board of directors of Holiday
RV Superstores, Inc. today announced it has named
William E. Curtis, David J. Doerge and Ronald G. Huneycutt as directors.
    The Orlando, Fla.-based chain of RV and marine dealerships said the
appointments reflect the recent change in ownership of Holiday RV and the
Company's new direction, which is aimed at aggressive industry consolidation.
Atlas Recreational Holdings, Inc., a Florida-based investment group, acquired
a controlling interest in Holiday RV earlier this month.
    The new directors join existing board members Michael S. Riley, W. Hardee
McAlhaney, David A. Kamm and Paul G. Clubbe on Holiday RV's seven-seat board
of directors.  The Company also announced the resignations of directors Newton
C. Kindlund, Joanne M. Kindlund, Roy W. Parker, Harvey M. Alper and James P.
Williams.
    "We are building the board and leadership team resources to make Holiday
RV the leading platform for acquisitions in the RV and marine dealership
market," said Holiday RV Superstores Chairman Michael Riley.  "The diverse
experience of these new directors, coupled with the current board members'
intimate knowledge of the leisure industry, will make for a formidable team to
lead Holiday RV into the future."
    Riley added that Company founders Newton and Joanne Kindlund will continue
to consult with Holiday RV on strategic growth initiatives.
    William Curtis, 40, is principal of the Chicago-based financial advisory
and leveraged buyout firm Curtis and Associates, Inc.  Curtis previously
served in a number of senior management and marketing positions at financial
services and investment banking firms, most recently as regional vice
president of a corporate finance firm.  Curtis also has extensive background
as a corporate franchise director and as a multi-unit franchisee of a national
chain.
    David Doerge, 47, is president of Doerge Capital Management, a division of
Balis, Lewitts & Coleman, Inc., which manages in excess of $1 billion.  Doerge
Capital Management invests in private equity transactions in the consumer
products, manufacturing, telecommunications, retail, technology and service
sectors and has been involved with numerous industry roll-ups.  Prior to
