Spartan Motors Showcases Innovation and Enhanced Owner Experience at Florida RV SuperShow
January 12 2016 - 7:22AM
At the Florida RV SuperShow in Tampa, January 12-17, Spartan
Specialty Vehicles, a business unit of Spartan Motors, Inc.
(NASDAQ:SPAR) and manufacturer of The Premier Foundation© for
luxury motorhomes, will demonstrate how its innovative engineering
produces a superior ride and extended product life, and how its new
mobile application enhances the owner experience.
Expanded Owner Experience
At the Tampa show, Spartan will showcase its new mobile
application, Spartan Connected CareSM, designed to ease service and
maintenance and further build a sense of community for Spartan’s
extended family of RV owners.
The new Spartan mobile app provides owners of motorhomes built
on Spartan chassis with instant access to a pre-trip inspection
checklist, coach-specific diagnostic codes, and an interactive map
to locate the closest Spartan authorized service center. The
application also provides quick links to Spartan’s online parts and
accessories, merchandise, and notifications of events and rallies
where owners can meet with Spartan engineers, service technicians,
and participate in training sessions.
“Anyone purchasing a motorhome built on a Spartan chassis can
count on quality, durability, and a superior ride and handling.
What may be less obvious are the benefits our owners experience
after the sale. Spartan’s industry-leading service, support,
as well as owner and service technician training we provide ensure
that when you buy a coach on a Spartan chassis, you’re doing more
than buying metal. You’re joining our extended family. Our new
mobile app, Spartan Connected Care, gives owners immediate access
to each of these key elements of the Spartan Experience, and keeps
delivering value over the life of their coach,” said Steve
Guillaume, President, Spartan Specialty Vehicles.
An Opportunity to Experience Spartan Innovation
First-Hand
As an exhibitor at the show, Spartan will feature the K3600GT
chassis that powers the Newmar King Aire and the Foretravel
Realm, in its booth. This chassis combines Spartan’s innovative
engineering with high-quality components to create a safe,
reliable, longer-lasting chassis that delivers superior handling
and comfort, and delivers better resale values, as owners trade in
or up. Attendees will also be able to see Spartan chassis
under its OEMs models in the Entegra and Foretravel booths.
“We’re excited to be here to demonstrate why Spartan chassis are
the premier foundation for luxury RVs,” said Mike Butler, National
Sales Manager. “The Florida SuperShow gives our owners and
potential buyers the perfect opportunity to see what gives a
motorhome built on a Spartan chassis its superior ride and
handling.”
For RV enthusiasts considering an RV built on a Spartan chassis,
the company will offer Ride and Drives during show hours, which
gives potential owners an opportunity to experience the quiet ride
and impressive maneuverability that are Spartan hallmarks.
Interested parties can visit Spartan in booth #560, East Midway to
sign-up.
Spartan Chassis RV Owner Training Academy
On January 13 and 14th, up to 40 owners of motorhomes riding on
a Spartan Chassis are invited to participate in a free,
concentrated version of Spartan's popular RV Owner Training Academy
with Spartan technical trainers Mike O'Neil and John Merrifield.
The seminar will take place in meeting room North 1, located in the
Expo Hall, East of the Spartan booth. This training is guaranteed
to expand the knowledge of both new and long-time Class A diesel
chassis owners. Owners who enjoy this condensed version of the
training will have another opportunity to catch the Spartan RV
Owners Training Academy on the road, presented at Lazydays in
Tucson, AZ, February 8-12, 2016.
Spartan will be exhibiting for the duration of the Florida RV
SuperShow, with company executives and technicians available in the
booth to answer questions about its chassis, the mobile app, and
its superior after-the-sale service and support.
