BEAUDRY RV SUCCESSFULLY EMERGES FROM CHAPTER 11

Chandler, AZ   June 26, 2009 — Beaudry RV, a Nationally prominent Recreational Vehicle dealer with two sales and service dealerships in Arizona obtained the approval of its Plan of Reorganization by all of its lenders on Thursday, June 25, 2009 with formal Court approval to follow upon proper documentation over the next 2-3 weeks..

This reflects major changes in management, structure, spending and inventory coupled with an aggressive and well thought out future business and marketing strategy which Beaudry RV believes will enable it to be ”Still The One” to provide product and service indefinitely in the future as a leaner and more competitive market force.

Employees of Tucson and Phoenix sales and service locations, as well as Tucson RV Resort employees are excited about the announcement and look forward to maintaining a committed energy and alignment with the Arizona community and their National customer base.

Beaudry RV, one of the largest U.S. RV dealers, is believed to be the first RV dealer to exit Chapter 11 filings successfully.

Chapter 11 provides the ability to restructure business operations for survival in difficult financial times.

CEO, Thomas Sylvester, said, “Now, it’s not business as usual, but business better than usual. Customer satisfaction has always been the goal of Beaudry RV, it remained the goal during the 7 month bankruptcy process and it will be our top priority for the future. This positively affects families and friends all through Arizona and beyond and we’re extremely pleased to now have a strong financial foundation in place to support our outstanding customers, products and employees.”

General Manager, Dundee Kelbel, is also excited about the announcement that was made to all the Beaudry employees on the morning of Friday, June 26 .Kelbel stated that, “Beaudry RV has been a household name for years and the product line and customer service here at Beaudry RV is not going to change. The economy threw us a curve but we’ve been working on a plan for months at Beaudry without sacrifice of quality products and our relationships with our customers. Operations are moving forward. I’m excited, the staff is excited and we’re glad to see this come to fruition”.
