As Vice President of RV Trade Publications for TL Enterprises Inc Sherman Goldenbergbased in Elkhart Ind oversees RV Business amp Woodallrsquos Campground Management

BY SHERMAN GOLDENBERG

L ong-time friend and comedian Milton Berle called hima ldquobrilliant entrepreneurrdquo and ldquorambunctious adventurerrdquoActor Buddy Ebsen described his life as a ldquoclassic

American success storyrdquo Satirist and pal Stan Freberg said heseemed like ldquoa fictional character in a bookrdquo

Indeed many of those who knew and worked with John CCrean through the years probably remember him best not only

as a shrewd businessman but as a competitive intense andbigger-than-life ldquocharacterrdquo who steadfastly builtFleetwood Enterprises Inc from scratch into a nationalpower in the recreational vehicle business

Crean died Jan 11 at the age of 81 of heart diseaseAll flattery aside the stories that will probably linger

most among his friends and associates will surely deal morewith the ldquoeccentric ultra-conservative ultra-kind-hearted

ultra-richrdquo individual Crean had become rather than with the role of corporateexecutive that this North Dakota native almost reluctantly assumed during a 48-year career before retiring in a huff in 1998 to a life of philanthropy and off-the-wall pursuits

Personally I remember Crean for the day I visited him at his Oceanside estate inNewport Beach Calif for an RV Business interview It wasnrsquot a long visit but it pro-vided an almost perfect snapshot of a legendary man in his early 70rsquos who at that timewas as quick and crusty and at times humorous as ever Seated in his study I askedhim about the derivation of the Fleetwood name ldquoI needed a namerdquo he said in hisblunt way ldquoIn those days most of the manufacturers were using Detroit namesThere was a Roadmaster trailer after the Buick Roadmaster There was a Saratogaafter the Chrysler That was just generally being done When I needed a nameI thought that Fleetwood off the Cadillac probably was as good as there wasrdquo

So GM didnrsquot mind I askedldquoThey minded a lotrdquo he said ldquoI got legal papers for more than 10 years I donrsquot

know what was with them though Irsquod get all these orders to cease-and-desist andthey would threaten to sue me But that was all that happened I just ignored themThen mdash it was years later and we were in the mobile home business by then mdashGeneral Motors went in the motorhome businessThey built a (GMC) motorhomeand put the name Glenbrook on it We had had Glenbrook (brand name) on oneof our mobile homes which we had been using for quite some time

ldquoThey wrote us a letter asking if we thought there was a conflict We said that wedidnrsquot think there was one but we also didnrsquot see any problem over both of us usingthe Fleetwood name Now we have an agreement Itrsquos all right for General Motorsto use Glenbrook and we have permission to use Fleetwoodrdquo

We also talked about the early years when for all but a short period of time hehad successfully adhered to what might be referred to as the Crean Proposition abusiness strategy he had perfected as far back as 1951 ldquoBack thenrdquo he said ldquoI waspretty doggone efficient We didnrsquot have a whole lot of credit We paid cash foralmost everything And there was no way we could have any receivables We had toget cash for the product We were just doing things all pretty well right which justabout everybody does when first starting Itrsquos when you have a little success that youget all screwed uprdquo

GoCampingAmerica website The websitewhich went live in June and uses the samenomenclature for state branding has alsobegun to accept advertising with proceedsbeing reinvested for website improvements

The creation of a new interface atwwwarvcgatewaycom which enables parksto easily access their park profile on theGoCampingAmerica website and to makechanges as needed

Positive news coverage for the privatepark sector The New York Times and the LosAngeles Times were among media outlets thatpublished positive stories based on theAmerican Camper Survey which ARVC co-sponsored with other industry associations

Additionally Profaizer noted that ARVC con-tinues to increase its interaction with both theRecreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA)and the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association(RVDA) ARVC for example provided com-mentary on RV product- and customer-serviceissues to five committees organized by the GoRVing Coalition ldquoOur partnersrdquo Profaizeradded ldquoare more aware than ever of the issuesfacing our RV parks and campgrounds suchas the loss of parks for other development theneed for financing and the difficulty of dealingwith government at all levelsrdquo

But by early November the search took on amore desperate tone Facing the effects of a ldquosig-nificant downdraftrdquo in the towable market inSeptember and October coupled with mountingdemands from lenders Sunline officials decidedthe best course of action was to shut down liq-uidate existing inventory while still keeping theirlines in the water for a possible buyer

Dear RV IndustrySo the finish line is behind me after almost

40 years of working in the RV Industry It istime for the next generation to move in andfor those of my generation to step aside It isalso time for me to ldquosay it like it isrdquo as I havepretty much done over all of those years

I would start by asking todayrsquos RV dealerbody mdash as well as the RV manufacturingcommunity mdash ldquoWhat are you thinkingaboutrdquo Irsquoll bring you back to that questionlater on in my letter mdash it may take a little bit tohelp you understand it

First a little about ldquohow it wasrdquocompared toldquohow it isrdquo

My first job in the RV industry was for FANCoach a small company in Wakarusa Indduring the school summer break of 1962 Iworked in the ldquofinal finishrdquo department thatsummer Due to the lack of pre-finished pan-eling and cabinet doors FAN Coach likemany RV manufacturers of the era had apaint shop where the interior finish wasapplied to raw wood cabinetry

My first job as a sales rep (1969) was fora new division of Holiday Rambler calledAvenger I was its first sales rep We had to beone of the first (if not the first) RV companiesto make nearly everything standard in a lower-priced towable

Next on the list was a small RV company inGoshen Ind called Elkhart Traveler This iswhere the ldquohow it wasrdquo starts to come intofocus We werenrsquot the largest RV manufactur-er in the industry but Irsquod say we were prettytypical We did business on a handshaketrusted our dealers and they trusted us Wesolved problems with a phone call We didbusiness as if we were partners mdash in ittogether for better or for worse We handled

retail customersrsquo problems the same way byworking things out and moving on to the nextopportunity together We likely stayed at eachothersrsquo homes when in the area and knewone anothersrsquo family members some ofwhich are the ldquonew generationrdquo we do busi-ness with today Here is where a big U-turnstarts to happen however

Today we are learning to know the dealer-shiprsquos lawyer better than the dealershiprsquos prin-cipal ldquoIndemnify merdquo is the new greetingwhen we have a customer with a problemeven when the problem is poor repairscaused by the dealerrsquos own service depart-ment ldquoGive me moneyrdquo is the new responseto the smallest mistake made on a unit or tonearly any other minor issue that comes upldquoBuy my inventory backrdquo is the new responsein many states when a dealer is not perform-ing in the sales area In many of these areasthe dealer has literally nothing at stake If hedoesnrsquot do his job (hold up his end of thedeal) he simply says ldquoget this stuff off of mylotrdquo Mr Manufacturer can take the loss MrDealer meanwhile will find another productand is out very little even though he didnrsquot dohis part And ldquoSend it backrdquo is the new replywe hear many times when a unit arrives witheven minor issues ldquoWe are too busy to dealwith that now so unless you pay us dearly forthat 30-minute repair take the unit back Toobad the freight is $1500 one way we donrsquothave time to deal with itrdquo

Dealers from the ldquohow it wasrdquo era wouldnever have considered any of the aboveresponses mdash but of course we were part-ners in those days We worked things outtogether to the benefit of us all

blind salesman then designed his ownblinds for use in trailers starting CoachSpecialties Manufacturing Co accordingto the Orange County Register

Crean and his wife Donna foundedFleetwood to produce a small travel trail-er By the early lsquo60s the company wasexclusively producing mobile homes Here-entered the RV business acquiring theTerry Coach Co in 1964 and Pace ArrowMotor Homes in 1969 Under his leader-ship Fleetwood went public in 1964 andwas listed on the New York StockExchange in 1971 The companyrsquos salesfirst exceeded $1 billion in 1984 At thetime of his retirement in 1998 Fleetwoodwas a $3 billion-a-year company operat-ing 18 recreational vehicle and 38 manu-factured housing plants in 17 states andCanada That year the company sold69494 RVs 65544 manufactured homesand employed 19000 workers

When Crean left the company at oddswith managementrsquos direction he retiredto his two-acre estate overlookingSouthern Californiarsquos Newport Bay In2001 the then-75-year-old Crean re-entered the RV manufacturing arenateaming up with his son Johnnie Creanat Alfa Leisure Inc in Chino Calif Thecompany developed the Alfa See Yadiesel pusher a mid-priced coach thatemulated the Fleetwood Bounder mdash amotorhome Crean spearheaded in the1980s that featured ldquobasement storagerdquoand became the industryrsquos top-sellingClass A for a decade

Creanrsquos entrepreneurial spirit tran-scended the RV industry He venturedinto such diverse arenas as auto racingand producing films that featured someof Hollywoodrsquos top stars including BillCosby Elizabeth Taylor and RichardBurton More recently Crean authoredan autobiography titled The Wheel and Iand also teamed with a local TV person-ality to co-host a cooking show

While Creanrsquos mark on the RV industrywas legendary less known was his philan-thropic side The Creans built their livesaround the words of a Lutheran ministerwho urged his congregation to tithe 10saying that if you give without expectinganything in return yoursquoll get a tenfoldreturn in blessings on your investment

Crean said he thought those wereldquodamn good oddsrdquo

From then on the Creans started giv-ing away part of whatever they madestarting with 10 and eventually donat-ing half of their annual earnings to char-ity Many of their donations were madeanonymously and Crean deftly side-

stepped queries about how muchmoney they gave away

One of the couplersquos most valuabledonations was the use of their 18000-square-foot mansion for fund-raisingevents

Crean was instrumental in helpingDr Robert Schuller establish theCrystal Cathedral as one of the nationrsquoslargest churches in Garden GroveCalif donating $1 million inFleetwood stock in 1976 to get theproject off the ground

When constructions costs soaredSchuller feared he would have to aban-don the project and approached Creanto return his donation according toMike Nason a spokesman for DrSchuller Creanrsquos response was simpleNason recalled ldquoSchullerrdquo Crean saidldquodig a hole get started the money willfollow I donrsquot want my money backrdquo

Crean would go on to donate millionsof dollars to the church and become itsbiggest benefactor Nason said

Services for Crean were held Jan 18in the church he helped build

Bolstered by an active Louisville Show coupled with the continued influx of prime-age consumers into the marketplacethe recreational vehicle industry remains

guardedly optimistic about the prospects and purchase patterns that will emerge in 2007A cross-section of industry professionals inter-viewed by RV Business while working the floor ofthe Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) in lateNovember reflected on an ldquoerraticrdquo 2006 that pro-longed two persistent trends in recent years mdash aresilient though not impervious towable sector anda languishing Class A motorized market weigheddown by pressures on discretionary spending The list of variables that soured consumers towardhigh-ticket buys last year is a familiar one to theindustry volatile fuel costs and higher interest ratesmixed with signs of economic slowing ldquoIt was the proverbial perfect stormrdquo observedRoger Martin vice president of sales and marketingfor Forest City Iowa-based motorhome builder

Winnebago Industries Inc ldquoGas prices kept first-time buyers on the sidelines and interest rates keptaway the seasoned buyerrdquoLooking ahead the majority seemed to agree withthe 2007 prognosis from University of Michiganeconomist Richard Curtin who foresees an 11decline in wholesale shipments in part due to unitsused for hurricane relief that boosted totals in thefirst quarter of 2006 and skew year-over-year comparisons But most also saw several positive signs as 2006came to a close with the prime lending rate holdingsteady mdash and possibly retreating early this year mdashwhile gas prices stabilized And if those factorsremained benign many felt ldquopent-up demandrdquo couldtrigger an upturn in sales starting in the spring mdash par-ticularly in the inventory-rich A market mdash that couldpush the industry beyond expectationsThe following offers a snapshot of the thoughts andopinions of several industry insiders as their firmsformed strategies for 2007




Roger Martin vice president of sales and marketing Winnebago Industries Inc Forest City Iowa ldquoOverall we think sales will remain fairly softthrough the winter and into early spring Wersquore hoping that pent-up demand particularly in the A business will take hold and spike sales in thesecond half of the year that will translate into a slight increase over last yearrsquos shipment totals One of our strategies was to introduce models thatmove Winnebago for the first time into the more entry-level portion of the market that seems to be where the most activity is at this point Butin the long-term we feel the motorhome market will be strong again We have just hit another bump in the road The one variable in 2007 thateveryone is unsure of is how the new diesel-emission standards will affect the motorized market It will definitely have a cost impact on thosepower plants which will be passed on to the consumer But will it be enough of an increase to dissuade buyers Wersquoll be watching that closelyrdquo

Dave Altman owner Altmanrsquos Winnebago and Altmanrsquos RV Center Baldwin Park California ldquoEven though wersquove seen a downturn inmotorhome sales I think we have also seen that the industry is much deeper and more solid than in past crises I donrsquot think wersquoll go throughthose huge sudden dips like we did in the past Also something I suspect is that we are currently experiencing the aftermath of those real boomtimes in 2003 and 2004 when interest rates were so low Those people who bought havenrsquot been flushed through the system yet althoughwersquove seen signs that the pipeline is filling back up Irsquom looking for things to be fairly flat in 2007 Obviously there are things that can changethat one way or the other but I donrsquot think it will change dramaticallyrdquo

Leigh Abrams president and CEO Drew Industries Inc White Plains New York ldquoIrsquom looking for the industry to be down a bit in 2007 andactually flat when you take out the Katrina factor from the lsquo06 numbers And if interest rates and gas prices remain stable we could start seeingthose buyers who have been in a wait-and-see mode Drewrsquos subsidiaries Lippert Components Inc and Kinro Inc are more involved on thetowable side which we do see as being a growth sector in 2007 The thing that people need to understand is that you canrsquot expect towables togrow every quarter like we have seen in recent years I think the first and fourth quarters of 2007 could be tough But the market is still strongAs a supplier one thing that we will continue to deal with in 2007 are the costs of raw materials Theyrsquove bounced around for the past severalyears so hopefully wersquoll see some stabilizationrdquo

Ron Fenech president Keystone RV Company Goshen Indiana ldquoWersquore ramping up for a year that in terms of retail sales will be similar to2006 which was good for us As we head into January wersquore going full-steam and are hoping for a strong first quarter That said you canrsquotmake an intelligent assessment of the year until around March thatrsquos when you can start to see a pattern that makes sense including region-al tendencies During the past year the Northwest and parts of Texas were strong while the industrial states mdash especially Michigan and someareas of the Northeast mdash were weak Three product segments that we see as particularly strong are lightweight and super-lightweight prod-ucts the lower end of the high-end fifth-wheel market and the ramp business What I find interesting is that the towable market as a whole is becoming much less discretionary Trailers are an integral part of peoplersquos lifestyles which may be why the towable market is no longer asseasonal or cyclical as the motorized siderdquo

Gary Denton vice president of sales and marketing Weekend Warrior Perris California ldquoI think the towable market will be stable in 2007but it wonrsquot show the tremendous growth that we have enjoyed in recent years There are four or five things particularly in California that arestill affecting buyers a drop in home equity interest rates are higher natural gas is up and so is electricity Our bread-and-butter is still thetoy-hauler business which we feel will continue to grow in lsquo07 even though ATV sales have been flat The end users are aggressive types and willkeep buying the latest product which means we have to be aggressive on our end mdash we canrsquot stand still or wersquoll get run over That philosophyis also how wersquore approaching the motorized market which we just moved into Our goal is to initially grab a small share of that market fueledby our existing base of loyal customers who are looking to move up to a motorhome with the same type of innovation as our toy haulersrdquo

Mike Terlep president Coachmen RV Group Middlebury Indiana ldquoMoving into 2007 I think the first thing the industry needs to do is correct the inventory levels on dealer lots We need to focus more on product turns which will happen when sales come back Overall wersquorelooking at a relatively flat year probably close to what RVIA is projecting On the other hand wersquore confident that Coachmen will see marketshare growth There has been significant market share erosion in recent years especially in towables We have consolidated and defined ourentire product lineup to better meet specific segments of the market while also restructuring our sales teams and improving plant efficiencies Whatrsquos happening in the motorhome market I feel is more than cyclical There is a lot of uncertainty out there Again we need to right-sizeinventory to help move product But we do see motorized sales improving as economic variables stabilize On the towable side lightweight unitsmdash the true half-ton pickup travel trailers and fifth-wheels mdash are going to be key sectors in 2007 along with SURVS The toy-hauler sector isgoing to proliferate beyond its current customer because itrsquos so versatilerdquo

Randy Howard general manager Howard RV Supercenter St Louis Missouri ldquoI donrsquot see a dropoff in lsquo07 Wersquore looking for single-digit growthfor the industry and wersquore projecting our sales to be up 25 to 28 The largest part of that growth will be in towables although the diesel-pusher business has been strong Up until 2000 we were strictly motorhomes but historically itrsquos been the most fragile portion of our industryAny type of volatility or instability up or down and motorhome sales mdash especially gas mdash go down But people keep buying trailers If thingsstabilize then motorized will come back but I donrsquot see that happening Industrywide therersquos a real problem with inventory The average turnright now is 172 days and it should be 90 Thatrsquos why a lot of the dealers got conservative in their buying That needs to be corrected as we moveinto the spring selling seasonrdquo

Tom Walworth president and general manager Statistical SurveysInc Grand Rapids Michigan ldquoThe industry has gone through twoyears of rapid interest-rate hikes which had to happen along withsevere spikes in fuel prices Both of those factors impacted RV salesmdash but I donrsquot see either of those trends resurfacing in 2007 Interestrates have stabilized at least for the near future And I believesomething interesting occurred when crude oil went above $70 a barrel It spirited a lot of exploration in the US There was a big findin the Gulf of Mexico and we also started looking more at non-OPECnations that have larger reserves When the price got so high it just

made sense for us to look for new sources including sand oil and shale oil whereas it didnrsquot before Peoplealso started buying smaller cars In light of all those things I think OPEC will try to keep crude oil pricesaround $60 a barrel in 2007 which will be great for our industry It was those huge swings that really affect-ed buyers That said my feeling is that the industry will start slow out of the chute but finish OK for the yearmdash especially if you take the 2006 FEMA units out of the equationrdquo

John Sammut vice president of sales and marketing NewmarCorporation Nappanee Indiana ldquoFor the past couple of years therehave been several factors in the marketplace that have affected consumer confidence which freezes people when it comes to buyingdecisions Those factors have mitigated and wersquore looking for a rela-tively flat market in 2007 without a lot of erosion or sizeable growthWe have also seen the more entry-level portion of the motorhome mar-ket grow and Newmar has developed products to compete at that lowerprice point We have been known as a high-end diesel builder but in2007 our goal is to gain a foothold in the gas market There are two rea-sons why we need to be at that $175000 to $200000 price point First it will allow us to attract new customersand then move them up the ladder with our service and quality Secondly the new diesel-emission standardswill increase costs at retail for those units pushing some people down into the gas marketplace At the sametime our high-end diesel buyer wonrsquot be affected by that cost increaserdquo

Rich Florea president Dutchmen Manufacturing Inc GoshenIndiana ldquoIn the last part of 2006 it appears that manufacturers haveexcess inventory as dealers havenrsquot been replacing product as quick-ly as normal Our dealers havenrsquot been reordering one-for-onethrough the last 90 days In some respects thatrsquos fairly normal but Ithink the towable market did slow somewhat Heading into 2007orders are beginning to pick up again and inventories will level offDutchmen is bullish on the first quarter and our dealers are comingon board We anticipate a good spring season mdash not great butsteady mdash and hopefully that will continue throughout the year Our

goal is to increase market share in all segments I truly believe that RVing has become entrenched in ourculture and people are committed to the lifestyle They arenrsquot going to stop RVing just because gas goes uptheyrsquore just going to change how they use their RVs I think that factor will help towables continue to do wellin 2007 and in the long-termrdquo

Sid Johnson director of marketing Jayco Inc Middlebury IndianaldquoIn the latter part of the year the towable market tightened a bit Thatdid two things Dealers built up inventory which is starting to clearout But it also meant that manufacturers had to be more innovativeby packaging more amenities into their product introductions I thinkthat trend will translate into sales in 2007 especially with the hugeinflux of buyers at the entry-level segment during the past four or fiveyears Those owners are looking to move into a more amenity-filledtrailer Jayco has actually seen growth in Class C sales We expectthat to continue as people downsize from Arsquos along with the expan-sion of the toy-hauler units Overall barring any unforeseen circumstances 2007 could develop into a pret-ty good year despite the unfavorable comparisons on the towable side from hurricane sales in 2006rdquo

Brian Brady chairman Heartland Recreational Vehicles LLC Elkhart Indiana ldquoI suspect that 2007 will bestronger than some of the pundits are predicting Our feeling is that it will be as good a year as 2006 Thetowable industry is becoming increasingly competitive which is going to bring about some changes in the

The Development of the Full-Wall SlideoutHas Yielded Many Dramatically DifferentFloorplans mdash But Not Everyone Is Ready For a Completely Open Coach

BY BOB ASHLEY

HOW QUICKLY THINGS CHANGE

I trsquos been only three model years since Fleetwood Enterprises Incoutfitted a 36-foot Pace Arrow motorhome with a 23-foot slideoutthat extended nearly the full length of the coach

Since then ldquofull-wall slideoutrdquo floorplans have proliferated MonacoCoach Corp Coburg Ore produced full-wall slideout floorplans thenext year Then came the rush

At RVIArsquos 2006 National RV Trade Show in Louisville Ky in factno fewer than five companies mdash Newmar Corp and Gulf StreamCoach Inc Nappanee Ind Coachmen Recreational Vehicle CoLLC and Thorrsquos Mandalay Luxury Division Elkhart Ind andNational RV Inc Perris Calif mdash debuted full-wall slideouts

ldquoWe all know that Fleetwood started it by being the mainstreammanufacturer who brought the full-wall slideout to the publicrdquo saidJon Krider Mandalay national sales manager ldquoWe looked at it andsaid that they had something there but we thought we could improveon itrdquo

Full-wall slides clearly have changed the way coach interiors are laid out

Mandalay used the additional space offered by installing a 29-footfull-wall hydraulic slideout in a 39-foot Presidio diesel-pusher ClassA to enlarge the hallway and bathroom and add closet space ldquoThefull-wall slide allowed us to open up the floorplansrdquo Krider saidldquoInstead of having to pinch the hallway with a 24-inch-deep slideoutyou can increase the width of the hallway by almost 25rdquo

Luc van Herle motorhome product manager for Fleetwood stressedthat changes brought on by full-wall slideouts are not insignificant

ldquoThe difference is between day and nightrdquo said van Herle whosecompany now offers full-wall slideout floorplans in eight of its ninediesel brands in addition to the gas-powered Pace Arrow ldquoThe bigchange is that the floorplans are so open Even when you go into aquad-slide motorhome you still have the hourglass effect where all theslideouts join No matter how wide it is in the front to begin with mdashor even in the rear mdash it closes up the feel of the coachrdquo

Not having to deal with that narrowing hallway also makes a majordifference for engineers according to Bill Martin marketing managerfor Coachmen ldquoIt changes the overall layoutrdquo Martin said ldquoYou startthinking about the floorplan in a different wayrdquo



For the most part however manufacturers didnrsquot have tomake major structural changes to accommodate the largerslideouts ldquoWe did two thingsrdquo said Jason RumschlagCoachmenrsquos engineering manager for gas motorhomesldquoWe beefed up the sidewall a little more than we usuallydo and we held up the roof on that side of the coach byincorporating a steel bar into the cabinets to add strengththererdquo

According to Van Herle Fleetwoodrsquos standard ldquoPowerPlatformrdquo chassis mdash wherein twin parallel I-beams aremounted lengthwise on the chassis rails mdash made it easierto engineer large slide rooms ldquoItrsquos given us a platform tobuild a house that is much less reliant on the structure ofthe box for its strengthrdquo van Herle said ldquoFor us cuttingmassive holes in the sides of our motorhomes was less ofa problem than it might have beenrdquo

Fleetwoodrsquos full-wall slides mdash operated by three syn-chronized electric motors mdash range from 26 to 30 inchesdeep and 24 to 29 feet long

The amount of additional square footage that a full-wallslide provides compared to a motorhome with four slide-outs is minimal mdash lessthan 15 square feet inmost cases The effecthowever is surprising

At Monaco designers used the extra space to add stor-age and cabinets ldquoOur smaller gas-coach models haveespecially benefited from full-wall slidesrdquo said Mike SnellMonaco vice president for sales and marketing ldquoFor theRV consumer these innovations have created compellingreasons to trade uprdquo

At the same time though according to Pat CarrollMonaco vice president for product developmentmotorhomes with four slideouts remain Monacorsquos most

ldquoFull-wall slides are a great concept but you have tobe careful with what you do with themrdquo

National RVrsquos Pacifica diesel pusher isthe only Class A to offer a curbside full-wall slideout The company solved thepotential problem of incorporating toomuch plumbing in the slideout by creat-ing a dual lavatory mdash the commodeshower and a third sink remain station-ary in the streetside of the coach

As full-wall room extensions insome cases have become top sell-ers some industry executives arecautious about their potentialeven as their companies offer full-wall layouts

Damon Motor Coach President BillFenech makes that same point byhalf-jokingly characterizing his com-panyrsquos new Tuscany slideout floorplanas the ldquoanti-full-wall slideoutrdquo

Damon currently has no full-wallfloorplan offerings

Newellrsquos Focus on Innovation andAmenities Cements Its Position inHigh-End Motorhome MarketplaceOKLAHOMA COMPANY CONSISTENTLY RUNS A BACKLOG OF ABOUT A YEAR

When it comes to building upscale Class Amotorhomes few manufacturers reach the level ofNewell Coach Corp which builds and servicesdiesel pushers that cost $1 million-and-up in

the small northeast Oklahoma community of Miami (pop 13000)

ldquoWe are the most expensive true Class A motorhome inthe businessrdquo Newell President Karl Blade proudly states mdashand with good reason Newell builds its coaches from thechassis on up then fills them with unexpected features and amenities

ldquoThe one thing that has kept the company at the topthrough the years is its history of innovationrdquo Blade said ldquoInreal estate itrsquos location location location In the motorhomebusiness itrsquos product product product If yoursquove got someonewho is going to pay $1 million for a motorhome itrsquos what

Newell coaches for instance boast 90-inch-high ceilingsthat allow for the installation of a Murphy bed ldquoNobody elseis doing itrdquo Blade said ldquobecause a bus doesnrsquot have enoughheadroom Itrsquos like having a den in the coachrdquo

Looking back LK Newell first broached the motorhomebusiness in 1967 after buying a then top-of-the-lineStreamline motorhome Returning to Streamlinersquos Californiafactory from his Oklahoma home for a few corrections heshared some suggestions to improve the coach with the com-panyrsquos owner who posed a challenge ldquoIf yoursquore so damnedsmartrdquo he opined ldquowhy donrsquot you buy the motorhome

Karl Blade Newellrsquos president takes pride in the fact that the company builds the most-expensive Class A luxury coaches in the industry The front and rear caps of the P2000i were designed by Porsche Engineering

to the motorized RV arenaAccording to the company Newell built the first rear-

engine Newell coach in 1969 on a Madson gas-powered buschassis A year later LK Newell designed and built his ownfrom-scratch diesel pusher featuring a semi-monocoquechassis that eliminated frame rails between the front and rearaxles maximizing under-floor storage space

ldquoHe (LK Newell) had a lot of street smartsrdquo said BladeldquoHe figured out long before anyone else did that a dieselpusher was far superior than any other configurationrdquo

Newell coaches commanded premiums from the verybeginning ldquoBack in the late lsquo60s when you could buy aWinnebago for $5000 a Newell would cost $15000rdquo Bladesaid Blade contends that because Newell coaches are builtfrom the ground up on the companyrsquos own chassis they

differ substantially from their closest competition price-wise mdash Prevost bus conversions and Bluebird Wanderlodges

ldquoThe most important difference today is that we can offerlarger slideouts which can be positioned and sized to achievethe floorplan that our customer wants instead of trying to fitthe floorplan around pre-existing slideoutsrdquo Blade saidwhile noting that factory-built bus shells are limited to amaximum of two pre-configured slideouts

The Newell chassis also is equipped with 23-degree rear-steer tag axles that increase the coachrsquos maneuverability

Blade became Newellrsquos owner almost in the same way thatLK Newell founded the company A Chevrolet dealer inMt Vernon Wash Blade also sold motorhomes becausethey were his hobby While driving through Oklahoma in a

Available in lengths of 39 to 45 feet with up to four flush-floor slideouts Newell coaches are built with aircraft-style aluminum superstructures and skin Reinforced fiberglassfront and rear caps (with roof parapets that hide the air conditioner and satellite TV dome) were designed by Porsche Engineering

Because of extensive customization no two Newell coachesare exactly alike For instance customers can chose front- ormid-coach entry doors add a half-bath chose their own paintdesign or order a special engine

Amenities run the gamut from lush fabrics to custom-crafted leathers exotic marble and granite floors and solid-surface countertops

features that Irsquod never seen beforerdquoThree months later he bought the companyBlade said that hersquos never considered moving the factory

from Oklahoma ldquoBy the time that I got involvedrdquo he recol-lected ldquothe workforce here was so well-trained that it wouldbe virtually impossible to duplicate if I tried to pick this upand move it somewhererdquo

Although it may appear otherwise Blade also noted thatthere is no downside to being isolated from the general RV-manufacturing communities in Indiana California andOregon ldquoWe can afford to pay the highest manufacturingwage in the business and other RV companies canrsquot raid usfor employeesrdquo he said

Employees at Newell work four 10-hour shifts per weekldquoEmployees love to have the three-day weekend and it gives

Blade spends the winter sellingNewell coaches while staying atOutdoor Resorts in Indio CalifldquoThere are 800 sites in tworesorts across the street from eachother and all of them containexpensive motorhomesrdquo he said

As you might suspect Newellcoaches are popular on theNASCAR circuit where Newellowners include NASCAR lumi-naries Jimmy Johnson DaleEarnhart Jr and legendary teamowner Roger Penske

Although the RV industry mdash particularly the Class Amotorhome sector mdash has been a little rocky lately the softmarket hasnrsquot affected Newell ldquoWe run a backlog of about ayear mdash alwaysrdquo Blade said ldquoWe also build some stockcoaches to put on the lot for the spot buyer and we also

usually have 15 used coaches in stock mdash we couldnrsquot sellthe new ones if we didnrsquot take trade-insrdquo

Newell sells factory-direct because of the close communi-cation necessary between manufacturer and end-user whenbuilding and servicing a $1 million-plus motorhome ldquoThecommunication needs to be very good to figure out what thecustomer wants within our capabilitiesrdquo Blade said ldquoWecanrsquot have misunderstandings where the dealer tells the clientwersquoll build a coach a certain way and it doesnrsquot show up at thedealership the way the client wanted it builtrdquo

Although Newell can build coaches as short as 39 feetmost Newell motorhomes are 45 feet long because of weightpowertrain and cost considerations

Meanwhile Blade said the Jan 1 transition to cleaner-burning diesel engines wonrsquot cause Newell major concernsldquoThe exhaust is hotter thatrsquos for sure We will deal with itrdquohe said ldquoWe donrsquot know what all the challenges are yet Stillevery time there has been a change in engine technologythere has been some fear about the effect but wersquove alwaysbeen able to accommodate it successfullyrdquo mdash Bob Ashley

Americarsquos highways are getting moreand more friendly for RVers Thatprimarily is a result of the indus-

try-supported ldquoRV Friendlyrdquo programthat identifies retailers along interstatehighways that are suited to handle RVs

For the Recreation Vehicle IndustryAssociation (RVIA) lobbying team infact it has been a legislative priority forthe last couple of years

Nine states already have approved theprogram although Matt Wald RVIAdirector of government affairs said onlyfour mdash Oregon where the program start-ed plus Washington Florida and Iowa mdashhave actually posted ldquoRVFriendlyrdquo logos thus faron the blue informationsigns near exits along the interstate highwaysystem

Other states whereldquoRV Friendlyrdquo signs aregoing through the localregulatory process andshould pop up soon are Texas LouisianaNew Mexico Tennessee and MichiganAdditionally Wald said five more statesare expected to consider approving ldquoRVFriendlyrdquo signage during the winter legislative season

Along with Oregon Louisiana was aleader in the movement until HurricaneKatrina struck 11frasl2 years ago bringing itsprogram to a screeching halt

Wald credits organizations such as theGood Sam Club and the Family MotorCoach Association (FMCA) for promot-ing the ldquoRV Friendlyrdquo concept in theirhome states ldquoRVers that Irsquove talked to saythey absolutely love itrdquo Wald noted

ldquoThey see it as not only a benefit in termsof their being able to get in and out of aretailerrsquos parking lot but they also see it asa quality-of-life issue

ldquoIt reduces their stress when they are onthe highwayrdquo he added ldquoThey donrsquot haveto worry that if they get off the interstatewhether they are going to have troublefinding a place to turn around so they canget back onrdquo

The Federal Highway Administration(FHwA) already has tentative guidelinesfor the states to follow which are expect-ed to be finalized later this year

Facilities must have paved surfaces freeof potholes and overheadwires with a minimumswing radius of 50 feet toallow RVs easy entry andexit Restaurants andother businesses requiringshort-term parking musthave two or more spacesthat are 12 feet wide and65 feet long At fueling

facilities pump lanes must be at least 12 feet wide and overhead canopies a minimum of 14 feet high

ldquoThe big thing is being able to get inand out of a retailerrsquos parking lot with-out having to unhook or to back outrdquoWald said

Depending on the state retail locationsthat meet the criteria pay between $25 and$150 a year to affix the round ldquoRVFriendlyrdquo logo to the blue informationalsigns posted near interstate highway exits

Wald said hersquos been told by boaters thatthey too watch for the ldquoRV Friendlyrdquologos ldquoThey figure that if a retailer can

Clearing TheAir on DieselEmissionsRegs

by Chris Hemer

2007rsquos New Diesel Rules Will

Dramatically Reduce Smog-

Producing NOx and Particulate

Matter ndash But Itrsquos a Change

That Wonrsquot Come Cheap

038-RVB_0702_LO_Diesel_Tecps 11807 244 PM Page 38



For decades most of the clean-air legislation hasbeen directed at gasoline engines Unleaded fuelcatalytic converters and electronic fuel injection aremajor technological milestones in the effort to cleanthe air we breathe Now itrsquos dieselrsquos turn

New emissions regulations have changed the for-mulation of diesel fuel as well as the engines that useit And although there have been some doom-and-gloom predictions on the subject mdash mainly based onrumors of poor fuel economy and low power andhigh cost considerations mdash all indications are thatthe new regulations will have little impact on current and future diesel motorhome owners

A Regulation Rundown The Emergence of ULSD FuelThe ldquo2007 Heavy-Duty Highway Engine Rulerdquo (2007

Highway Rule) as it is referred to by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) wasnrsquot established overnightLike most emissions regulations it represents yet anoth-er step mdash albeit the biggest one so far for diesel enginesmdash to clean up the air

In 1990 the Clean Air Act of 1970 was amended toinclude provisions for controlling ground-level ozonecarbon monoxide and particulate emissions (also knownas particulate matter or PM) from diesel engines By1993 Low Sulfur Diesel fuel had been introduced with amaximum sulfur content of 500 parts per million (PPM)also known as S500 enabling catalyst technology thatwould reduce PM emissions

Numerous revisions were to follow but the next bigstep came in December of 2000 when the EPA

BLUE SKIES AHEAD Fleetwoodrsquos American Eagle Class A diesel pusher is among the diesel motorhomes that utilize power plantsthat have been affected by the diesel regs in thise case Cummins Caterpillar engines running from 400 to 600 hp




announced a comprehensive national program that would regulate a heavy-duty vehicle and its fuel as a single system starting in model year 2007 The 2007 Highway Rule was born

Much the way lead can damage theemissions equipment on contempo-rary gasoline engines sulfur canharm the new emissions equip-ment on diesels hence the intro-duction of Ultra-Low Sulfur Dieselfuel (ULSD or S15) ULSD cannotcontain more than 15 PPM of sulfur one ofthe soot-producing agents in diesel fuel

According to the EPA the combination of newemissions equipment and ultra-low sulfur fuel will reduce PMemissions by 90 and nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 95 As a resultthe 2007 Highway Rule will provide annual emission reductions equiva-lent to removing the pollution from 90 of todayrsquos trucks and buses mdashabout 13 million of them mdash when the current heavy-duty vehicle fleet hasbeen completely replaced by 2030 When that happens the EPA esti-mates a reduction of 26 million tons of smog-producing NOx emissionsand 111000 tons of PM each year

Refineries were required to start producing ULSD as of last June andretail stations were required to carry the new fuel as of mid-October of lastyear Unless RVers put their coaches away for the winter in September theodds are good that ULSD is in their RVsrsquo tanks right now

How the Regulations Will Affect RV ConsumersThe introduction of ULSD has created two key concerns on the part of

motorhome ownersFirst How will the new fuel affect his current engine And secondly

how different will the new engines be Since the majority of motorhomeowners have a pre-2007 coach wersquoll start with RVers

As mentioned earlier reducing the sulfur content in diesel fuel resultsin lower PM emissions but it also reduces the lubricity or the lubricat-ing quality of the fuel However from everything wersquove been toldULSD will neither harm RVersrsquo current engines nor require expensivemodification While it is true that lubricity will be reduced at therefinery level the American Society for Testing and Materials adopt-ed a lubricity specification for all diesel fuels that will compensatefor the reduced sulfur level at the terminal level

RVers may have also heard or read that ULSD might reducefuel economy and even cause fuel leaks in their pre-2007engines According to Chevron Corp the processing requiredto reduce sulfur to 15 PPM does indeed reduce the aromaticscontent and energy of the fuel resulting in a reduction of energycontent (btu) However the expected reduction in energy contentis only about 1 which is predicted to cause only a 1-to-2 loss in fuel economy In other words RVers will probablynot notice any apparent decline

Depending on the engine and its age fuel leaks are also a possibilityaccording to the Clean Diesel Fuel Alliance (CDFA) ldquoA small number ofvehicles may require preventive maintenance in the form of upgrading cer-tain engine- and fuel-system seals that may not perform well in the tran-sition to the new fuel and could leakrdquo a statement from the CDFA notedldquoStudies of test fleets have indicated that fuel system leaksare not exclusive to a particular engine type hellip it is antici-pated that only a small fraction of the (pre-2007) vehi-cles will be affectedrdquo the report added

According to a statement by Chevron Corp fuel leakswere also an issue when Low Sulfur Diesel was intro-duced in the early 1990s Those leaks ldquo hellip occurred atpoints where elastomers (O-rings) are used to seal joints inthe fuel system During the 1993-1994 period the most commonoccurrences were injector-pump leaksrdquo But like the CDFA Chevronrsquosfindings are that the problem is not exclusive to one engine type fuel typeor geographic region ldquoIt is anticipated that only a very small fraction ofthe vehicles may be affectedrdquo said Chevron

According to Cyndi Nigh on-highway communicationsmanager for Cummins Inc Columbus Ind there have

been a few instances of minor fuel leaks due to gasketsand seals shrinkingldquoIn most instances replacing the part eliminates this

issuerdquo she said ldquoWe have seen only a few cases of thisand are treating it as a warrantable failurerdquo In summa-ry ULSD has been designed to be backward-compat-ible with the millions of diesel engines that arealready on the road and will probably not have anyaffect on RVersrsquo engines However because a fuel leak

can be a potential fire hazard itrsquos not a bad idea to have fuelsystems inspected once RVers start using ULSD especial-ly in older or high-mileage engines and at routine main-tenance intervals after thatThere also is a misconception that the 2007 engines will

be different from the engines they replace While in someinstances that may be the case the changes are not necessarilyrequired by the use of ULSD In fact most of the changes are tothe emissions system also known as the ldquoafter treatment systemrdquo

and have little if any effect on the design of the engine itselfThough they may vary in design function and trade

name the after treatment system on the new engines consists of an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system

and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in addition to or inplace of a diesel-oxidation catalyst The DPF replaces the

muffler assembly and continually undergoes what is known as ldquoregenerationrdquo

ldquoWhen operating conditions maintain sufficient exhaust temperatures thediesel particulate filter is continually being cleanedrdquo noted Nigh ldquoThis is

known as lsquopassive regenerationrsquo Active regeneration occurs when there is not sufficient heat in the exhaustrdquo In such instances Nigh explained exhaust tem-peratures are raised by injecting a small quantity of fuel upstream of the dieseloxidation catalyst This process known as ldquodosingrdquo raises the exhaust-gas temperature high enough to oxidize the carbon from the filter

ldquoActive regeneration will occur very infrequently in a motorhome applicationand is totally transparent to the operatorrdquo said Nigh ldquoThere is no smell or soundassociated with regenerationrdquo Each manufacturer will also employ its own tech-nologies to reduce emissions For example Cummins has introduced a high-efficiency crankcase ventilation system which removes oil residue associated withengine ldquoblow-byrdquo (atmospheric pressure that squeezes past the piston rings andenters the crankcase forcing oil vapor up the breather tube)

Peoria Ill-based Caterpillar Incrsquos C7 and C9 engines feature variable-nozzleturbocharging to control the air volume required at various engine loads andspeeds for more complete combustion And Michigan-based Detroit Diesel hasdesigned its Series 60 engine with Monotherm pistons that combined withchanges in oil-ring geometry and a smoother bore finish are said to reduce oil con-sumption by almost 40 The Series 60 will also incorporate a variable-geome-try turbocharger new fuel injection system and new engine management system

The only real downside of the 2007 regulations will be higher costThough none of the engine manufacturers would be specific our research indi-

cates that after treatment systems will spur a price increase of $4500 to $6000for medium-duty engines and $7000 to $10000 for a heavy-duty engine TheDPF will also require periodic cleaning but that may never have an impact onRVersrsquo wallets since it is only required every 200000-400000 miles in a typicalmotorhome application Even then Cummins estimates cleaning will take only30 minutes not including removal and re-installation while CAT has its ownsystem of cleaning the DPF without removing it from the vehicle it claims serv-ice will take about as long as an oil change

Speaking of oil changes theyrsquore going to cost more too because they require anew low-ash oil (designated CJ-4) According to Fleet Owner magazine the newoil will be 30 to 40 more expensive than current CI-4 blends due to extraor-dinarily high development costs Everything else however including serviceintervals coolant and lube filters will reportedly remain the same

Indeed the 2007 Highway Rule has changed diesel engines and fuel foreverJust like the gasoline-engine emissions regulations that preceded it it may takesome getting used to mdash but it will do a lot of good in the long run

Detroit Dieselrsquos Series 60engine will use Monotherm

pistons said to reduce oilconsumption

Opinion from page 16

rates There is something wrong when that isnecessary to make ends meet in the servicearea It seems that paying that rate would pre-clude the dealer from needing help from themanufacturer to solve problems It would indi-cate a very professional well-trained servicearea able to take care of things on the first trynot get us into ldquothree tries and yoursquore outrdquoLemon Law issues Raising rates to cover upother shortcomings in the management of thedealership should not fall on your ldquopartnerrdquo

I wonder how much thought is given thesedays to where the funds come from to pay forsome of these things In the end Mr NewGeneration you are extracting it from your cus-tomers You simply force the manufacturerrsquosprice to you to be higher

Get your RVDA groups to lobby for as manypro-dealer state laws as you can mdash then askyour manufacturer to help you with problemdealers that steal your business from yourbackyard Laws that protect the consumer andare fair to both manufacturer and dealer arefine Just be careful what you are asking for mdashyou may not like it when you actually see thesethings in action

It starts to look like there is an adversarialrelationship developing in the RV industrybetween dealers and manufacturers Only the

ignorant can believe that that is a good thingWin the battle and lose the war

My friends on the RVIA side of things are soproud of their ldquoGO RVingrdquo efforts they are giv-ing up control of their own destinies ldquoGORVingrdquo is a good thing but at least half of thatbudget should be spent on state lobbying forfair rules mdash rules that in the end are trulyhealthy for both groups as well as the retailcustomer

Yes I am very familiar with manufacturerscramming too many dealers into the same mar-ket areas I am also familiar with manufacturersduplicating their products so that they can dou-ble their penetration in the same market areasSome of the largest and most successful man-ufacturers both past and present have donejust that It has always been a mystery to mewhy a dealer would buy from such manufac-turers They certainly wouldnrsquot want to be part-ners with someone like that would they In theldquohow it wasrdquo days it took only a simple phonecall to your partner to take care of such issues

Irsquom leaving the business a few years earlierthan I might have otherwise simply because itrsquosnot any fun anymore Irsquom tired of listening to arecord with the needle stuck in the same oldgroove It is sad to see things getting like theyare to see what potential there is mdash and howdisappointing not to see it realized

I canrsquot help but give you a few names of deal-ers that understand what it means (or meant

I started this letter asking ldquoWhat are youthinking aboutrdquo and Irsquoll leave you with thatThe RVDA side is not honestly thinking aboutthe future of the industry except for its ownselfish interests The RVIA side is getting blind-sided looking to promote the industryrsquoslifestyle and not thinking about protecting itsfuture You all need to be looking for solutionsthat are mutually beneficial You all need to betalking to each other objectively about growingthe industry You all need to look each other inthe eye say it like it is clear the air and startsolving problems together mdash giving a little taking a little with an open mind That is whatsuccessful partners do

One committee is being created after anoth-er You all need a committee to work on how towork together
