Camping World Broadens "Cash for Campers" Recycle & Save Rebate Program

LINCOLNSHIRE, IL--(Marketwire - September 3, 2009) - Camping World, the nation's largest RV and
outdoor retailer, today announced the "Cash for Campers" program will now
expand to include Class C Motorhomes and Fifth Wheel Towables.
Camping World's "Cash for Campers" is aimed at current Recreational Vehicle
owners and mimics the recently expired "Cash for Clunkers" program. The
program is focused on improving the quality of vehicles currently in
circulation as well as stimulating the economy in heavy hit manufacturing
states such as Iowa and Indiana.
Marcus Lemonis, Camping World Chairman & CEO, commented, "We were
optimistic that RVers would respond positively to the program and the
success has been overwhelming. In a declining market, we've managed to
outperform last year by more than 10% in new motorhome business." Lemonis
added, "As a result, we've decided to expand the program into our Class C
and Fifth Wheel inventory from top manufacturers such as Keystone,
Dutchmen, Jayco and Forest River."
