(Stuart, Fl and Chicago, IL) - Liberty Coach, a leader in the motor coach
conversion industry for more than 40 years, has announced that it will be
incorporating an eco-friendly battery system into all newly constructed
motor coaches.

After exhaustive testing and research with the new battery system in Liberty
Coach's 2011 H3-45 Triple Slide, Frank Konigseder, vice president of Liberty
Coach said, "We are happy with its performance and have made the decision to
incorporate it into all our new models."

With the introduction of a lithium iron phosphate battery system, several
environmentally friendly advantages have occurred. The new system uses a
non-toxic disposable battery that also has a much longer lifecycle than the
previous battery system. Also, because fewer of these new batteries are
required to power the various on-board electronics and other systems, there
is a tremendous weight savings as well, making the coaches more energy
efficient.

"By changing to the new lithium iron phosphate battery technology, we were
able to eliminate 1,150 pounds of total weight from our H3-45 Triple-Slide
model," said Frank Konigseder, vice president of Liberty Coach.
"Additionally, whereas the older batteries typically would last about three
years, these new batteries have on average a 10-year life cycle."

While Liberty Coach is very happy with the performance and environmental
benefits of this new system, the initial expense is more than traditional
batteries. However, some of this additional cost is offset by the battery's
increased life expectancy which also helps save money when getting a coach
ready for resale.

Many high-end motor coach owners trade in their coaches every two or three
years. Up to now, when a coach was being made ready for resale, typically
the batteries were one of the first things to be replaced, which may not be
necessary going forward.

With this new system, all batteries communicate on a proprietary network
which continuously monitors each battery cell. The status is displayed on an
output monitor that enables Liberty Coach to utilize the generator automatic
starting system more efficiently by controlling the start/stop of the
generator based exclusively on amp hour usage.

"The history of each battery is maintained in a non-volatile log which can
be retrieved at any time," Konigseder explained. "This may eliminate the
need to replace batteries on used coaches in the future since we now have an
accurate way to determine the need based on the actual usage of the
batteries in each coach."

Liberty Coach continually researches and tests new systems, materials and
components to make sure the most reliable, user-friendly, and
technologically advanced systems are being incorporated into their products.
Later this summer, for example, Liberty Coach will introduce the Apple iPad
into their built-in, on-board electronics. The iPad will be integrated into
every coach's Crestron Control Touchpanel system which controls seven zones
of audio, video, lighting, HVAC, shades and even the outdoor awning, in
addition to monitoring and managing the fresh water and waste water, power
generator, air doors and locks. Additionally, the Moritz Octoplex system
controls the air conditioning circuit breakers and more than 100 dimmable
and programmable DC breakers for lights, valves and other mechanical
systems.

Liberty Coach is also known for its unparalleled customer support. With
cellular access points from any location, on-board electronics and other
systems can be monitored and repaired remotely if a problem arises while
their customers are on the road. In addition, Liberty Coach provides its
customers with the cellular telephone numbers of the sales staff to help
with any unexpected emergencies, and transports its 53-foot service vehicle
and support staff to major shows and rallies around the country.

With offices in Stuart, Florida and Chicago, Illinois, Liberty Coach has
been manufacturing luxury motor homes for more than 40 years. For more
