Shareholders of Holiday RV Superstores Approve Proxy Proposals

10 January 2000

Shareholders of Holiday RV Superstores Approve Proxy Proposals
    ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 7 -- Holiday RV Superstores, Inc.
today announced that all seven of the proposals presented at a
special meeting of shareholders this morning were approved.
    The Orlando, Fla.-based chain of RV and boat dealerships using the trade
name Recreation USA reported that the proposals, which included increases in
the Company's authorized capitalization and the reincorporation of Holiday RV
from Florida to Delaware, give it more flexibility to pursue its aggressive
acquisition strategy.
    Holiday RV initiated consolidation of the national RV and boat retail
market following the June 30, 1999 acquisition of a controlling interest in
the Company by Atlas Recreational Holdings, Inc., a Florida-based investment
group.  Holiday RV said the affirmative vote for the proxy proposals included
a majority of the non-Atlas Recreational shares, a requirement set forth by
the Company's board of directors to insure independence.
    "We are pleased with this vote of confidence from our shareholders," said
Holiday RV Chairman Michael Riley.  "We have already begun our rapid expansion
plan evidenced by our first acquisition in November which nearly doubled the
size of Holiday RV.  As we aim toward our three-year goal of becoming a
$1 billion RV and boat retailer, it is imperative that we have the resources
and access to the capital markets to drive this growth.  Approval of these
proposals gives us the flexibility to accelerate our plan."
    Holiday RV earlier this week reported record sales and a 28 percent
increase in net income for the fiscal year ended Oct. 31, 1999.  The Company
said fiscal 1999 results do not include any contribution from its November
1999 acquisition of County Line Select Cars and RVs, Inc., a $70 million chain
with five RV dealership locations.
    Holiday RV Superstores (http://www.holidayrv.com ) is the nation's only publicly
traded chain of dealerships specializing in sales of recreational vehicles and
boats.  The Company sells, services and finances more than 50 RV and boat
brands -- including Airstream, Beaver, Fleetwood, National RV, Rexhall, Thor,
Winnebago, Bayliner, Sea Ray and Mariah -- from its chain of 12 dealerships in
California, Florida, New Mexico and South Carolina.
