Recreation USA Named Preferred Service Provider by Major Insurance Carrier

30 June 2000

RV Dealer Authorized as Repair Shop, Able to Write RV And Motor Vehicle Policies
            
    ORLANDO, Fla. - Holiday RV Superstores, Inc. has been named a preferred 
provider of repair services for all recreational vehicles insured by a major U.S. 
insurance carrier.  The agreement teams the nation's largest multi-dealer RV 
chain with one of the country's leading insurers of motorhomes and other RVs.

    The Orlando, Fla. chain of RV and marine dealerships operating under the
trade name Recreation USA has been authorized to handle accident claims for
the insurance carrier under a newly established nationwide repair program.

    Recreation USA's eight retail stores and service centers in Florida will
roll out the new dealership program, with plans to expand into other locations
in the coming months.  Recreation USA has been given exclusive rights to the
program in the markets where it operates.  Recreation USA did not disclose the
carrier's name at its request.

    "We are pleased to partner with such an industry leader in order to
provide our RV customers with even greater convenience and broader service
options," said Ronald G. Huneycutt, president and CEO of Recreation USA.  "We
anticipate this contract will have a significant financial benefit on
Recreation USA over the years to come.

    "The investments we make in service are an integral part of our strategy.
Recreation USA plans on entering into other agreements like this one that will
further place the Company as the leader in nationwide service for the
recreational vehicle industry."

    Recreation USA has also been appointed an in-house agent for the insurance
carrier, allowing the Company to write recreational vehicle and motor vehicle
insurance policies for its customers.  Customers can choose from packages that
cover roadside assistance, emergency vacation expense, personal effects,
vacation liability and replacement costs.  Owners can also opt for "full-
timers" coverage, a popular product for RVers who live year-round in their
motorhome.

    As a "preferred provider" for the insurance carrier, Recreation USA will
receive referrals from claims agents who will direct RV owners to a Recreation
USA service center for repairs.  Recreation USA customers will benefit from:

    *  Simplified paperwork to schedule and complete repairs at one of eight
Florida locations.
    *  The use of certified technicians to perform all service and repairs.
    *  Limited warranty coverage on the parts and labor.

    "Being able to sell insurance makes the process of buying a motorhome
easier for our customers," Huneycutt said.  "And being named a preferred
service provider allows us to simplify the repair process.  We look forward to
building on the first stage of this program and expanding it to all the
dealerships in the Recreation USA family."

    Recreation USA, the nation's only publicly traded chain of RV and boat
dealerships, operates 14 dealership locations in California, Florida, New
Mexico, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.  Recreation USA
dealerships sell, service and finance more than 60 RV and 10 boat brands.
