BROOKSVILLE, FL — Motor coach
dealers were licking their chops Wednesday
as the big-wheeled behemoths rolled in by
the hundreds to the Hernando County Airport.
That's because many of the owners of the
1,127 recreational vehicles arriving for the
opening day of the 30th-annual Family Motor
Coach Association Southeast Rally will be
looking for new models, both upgrades and
down-sized.
"We're not here to show; we're here to sell,
baby, sell," said an enthusiastic Chris
Burdin of Long View SuperSales, one of the
14 dealers at the event.
The dealers have 125 models on
display, the most ever, said
Southeast Area association president Tom
Eller. The rally that continues through
Saturday.

"Buying has increased in
the last nine months. Last year was
depressed," said Keith Abbott of Five-R Custom
Coaches of Sanford.
"Banks are starting to finance again,"
noted Tommy Kay, of Great Recreation.
"Business is upbeat. It's getting much
better," added Dick Rocha with Giant
Recreation World, a dealership with sites in
Winter Garden, Ormond Beach and Melbourne.
"On Sale" signs surrounded the venue for Long
View, which has taken part in the rally since
2002. Burdin said his company is offering RVs at
40 percent off dealership prices, from $40,000
for a 21-footer to $260,000 for a 43-foot model.
