RVers share ownership of an RV with others

Some RV enthusiasts who can’t afford to own a luxury RV in these tough economic times are choosing to own one through fractional ownership. The concept is simple, multiple families each own a share in an RV and divide the use and costs associated with it. CoachShare (Coachshare.com) is an industry leader in fractional ownership, by bringing that same concept to the high end RV industry.

“I have limited number vacation days each year. It doesn’t make financial sense for me to purchase a $250,000 luxury motorcoach and let sit idle for 48 weeks of each year” says Tai Quan, a high tech executive and a CoachShare customer from San Jose, California. “Fractional ownership not only saves me money, it also saves me time. CoachShare takes care of both the pre-trip delivery and the post-trip pickup. I don’t have to be bothered with the time consuming chores that full time RV owners have to deal with.”

According to the University of Michigan, most traditional owners only use their recreational vehicle 21 days a year. “Consumers are realizing that it doesn’t make sense anymore to buy an RV and use it a few weeks a year, especially in this economy” says James Palmer, President and CEO of CoachShare.
