| TriMark to Introduce Innovative New Products at 2009 RVIA |
 TriMark Corporation, the leading provider of innovative access solutions to the RV market, will be introducing and featuring several new products at the 2009 National RV Trade Show, December 1 – 3 at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville. TriMark is located in Booth # 1616, 1618 and 1620.
The overall theme of the 2009 National RV Trade Show is “Let the Sun Shine” which communicates a strong message of optimism as the industry moves towards a recovery in the coming year. One of the most anticipated annual industry events with more than 1,000 RV dealers and show exhibitors expected to be on hand, Outlook 2010 will entertain and inform attendees with a combination of insightful presentations and high-energy fun. Because of TriMark’s position as a leader in this market, we have continued to focus development and engineering resources on providing innovative solutions which are available to the RV industry, rain or shine. “Quite candidly, our customers in this industry really depend on us being there and we’ve demonstrated through this recent downturn that we are truly committed to this market,” states Bruce Boerschel, TriMark Account Manager for the RV market. “One look at the new and updated products we are featuring at RVIA should send a strong message that we are moving forward in supporting our customers.” The RVIA is reporting some very positive activity for 2009 and 2010. Here’s a quick update: 2009 RV shipments in August were at their highest seasonally-adjusted level since July 2008. Shipments have improved steadily since the beginning of the year. On a seasonally adjusted basis, August’s total was an annual rate of 209,800 units. Lower shipments in 2009 were caused by the longest and deepest U.S. recession since the 1930s, the tightest credit conditions in several decades, job losses, falling household wealth, slower growth in real incomes, and historically low consumer confidence. 2010 RV shipments are projected to total 185,800 units in 2010, a 26.5% increase from the projected 2009 total, according to RV industry analyst and director of consumer surveys at the University of Michigan Dr. Richard Curtin. Gains are expected over the next two years as negative financial factors give way to improved market conditions. Please plan to visit TriMark in Booth # 1616, 1618 and 1620 at this year’s RVIA! |
| Join TriMark at Network Fest – It’s an Electrifying Experience! |
 The 2009 National RV Trade Show will host the third annual “Network Fest," an educational display demonstrating the features and benefits of "RV-C". By connecting key electrical devices, RV-C enables RV components to share information and coordinate their operation, either directly or remotely. In addition, RV-C minimizes wiring and troublesome connections while at the same time providing diagnostic information to the customer or service technician. By replacing many individual signal wires with a twisted pair data cable, RV-C helps make RV electrical systems more reliable, and saves money and time during installation.
The event features RV-C compliant components that are networked together so that attendees can experience them communicating with each other in real time. TriMark will be one of 9 companies participating in the demonstration and seminar. RV-C brings the RV industry into a new era of technological progress, and will impact how RVs are designed, manufactured, serviced, and enjoyed. One of TriMark’s key products in this area is the 500-1000 e-ASK System. This simple and integrated remote transmitter keyless-entry system offers increased security, convenience and functionality while reducing system costs. Designed for demanding users of heavy trucks, emergency vehicles, RVs, agricultural and construction equipment, it provides reliable remote access control of electronic latches and handles. The demonstration is active during all show hours in Room C101. A seminar will be offered each day at 2:30 p.m. Attendance is complimentary to registered RVIA attendees. |
