Released October 31, 2006

Leading Manufacturer of Luxury Motorhomes to be Presenting Sponsor of Big Twin Customs Showcase
 
NAPPANEE, Ind.—Newmar Corporation, the Indiana-based manufacturer of high quality Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels, has signed a three year agreement with Advanstar to showcase the All Star Cycle Hauler and other full-featured luxury coaches built specifically for motorcycle enthusiasts.

Advanstar Communications, a leading provider of integrated media solutions to the automotive aftermarket, off-road and powersports industries, announced today Newmar as the presenting sponsor of the Big Twin Customs showcase in the Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows presented by Toyota.

"The Cycle Hauler floorplan was specifically developed with those traveling with larger motorcycles in mind," said John Sammut, Newmar Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "This is a motorhome that has the capability to haul big bikes in their own garage while providing all of the conveniences of home and still have the capability to tow another vehicle, which makes the Big Twin Customs such a good connection for us."

"Being able to solidify a partnership with Newmar follows our longstanding belief that those passionate about the sport of motorcycling are great partners to have," said Jeff D'Entremont, Show Director for Advanstar. "Newmar Corporation has an exciting vision and a quality product that directly appeals to our attendees and we're excited to announce this relationship."

Newmar will have representatives on site at each of the stops alongside their latest product for the powersports enthusiast.
