| Bates International Motor Home Rental Systems, Inc. Announces Affiliation with Good Sam Club |
| Trish Williamson, December 2007 |
Sandra Bate, president and CEO of Bates International Motor Home Rental Systems, Inc., a leading recreational vehicle (RV) brand in North America, announced that Bates has affiliated with the world’s largest organization for RVers, Good Sam Club’s “Smile & Save,” a division of Affinity Group, Inc.
“Bates International and its 30 Franchise locations throughout the United States and Canada are thrilled to join the Good Sam “Smile and Save” team and offer money-saving programs to Good Sam Club members,” says Bate. “We will offer three significant discount programs – RV rentals, RV Lease Backs and RV Revenue Sharing.”
Bates is recognized for its wide variety of RV rentals, from plush Class “A” diesel pushers to Class “C” cab-overs to Fun Movers. Good Sam members will receive substantial discounts on RV rentals at all Bates’ locations in North America and online at www.batesintl.com. The discount rate will depend on the duration of the rental contract.
Through Bates’ Revenue Sharing Program, Good Sam members can purchase new RVs factory-direct from a variety of RV manufacturers at a substantial discount. One of the benefits of the Revenue Sharing program is that Bates RV purchasers can use their RV when they want it, and place their new motor home into the Bates Fleet to earn rental income, tax advantages and business write-offs. As a Bates RV Fleet owner, Good Sam members will have access to qualified renters and receive 50% of the rental and mileage revenue. It’s a cost-effective way for Good Sam Members to own an RV, and Bates manages the mechanical, storage and housecleaning details. For details, visit ww.batesintl.com/rvrevsharing.php.
Good Sam members, who already own a late model RV, could be sitting on a gold mine! Through Bates’ Rental Management Program, members can lease back an existing RV (less than three years old) to the Bates Fleet, and start generating income, tax advantages and access to qualified renters. In addition, they will still be able to schedule their RVs for personal use. For details, visit batesintl.com/rvlisting.php.
The Bates brand is recognized internationally as the first RV Franchise Company in the world. Bates was recently named by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the top 500 Franchises in the United States and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, on CNN News and in numerous RV Industry publications. Bates is a member of the International Franchise Association, the Recreational Vehicle Rental Association, the Go RVing Campaign and the Recreational Vehicle Association of America.

“Affinity’s Good Sam Club has huge resources and widespread industry publications which tell the RV story,” says Bate. “Our Franchises can take advantage of this network to increase their business through opportunities offered through the Good Sam Club.”
Through Affinity’s Good Sam Club, which has more than 2 million members worldwide, Bates’ Franchises will have access to Temporary Member Cards for Bates’ RV renters, discount fees at 1,700 Good Sam affiliated RV parks and campgrounds, free online RV Trip Routing, savings on fuel, RV parts and accessories, insurance rates, editorial endorsement of Bates in AGI publications and much more.
