Help Keep The Airstream Ranch!
F
rank Bates says, “Airstream Ranch is Art!!!”
Hillsborough County calls the display junk! An
Airstream is on display in the Modern Museum
of Art in New York City. So in the purpose of displaying
and creating art – 7 and 1/2 Airstreams were planted
in a field at Exit 14 on I-4 between Tampa and
Lakeland, Florida. The trailers range in years from
1957 - 1994 and range in size from 16 to 34 feet.
The display is an art display in the same fashion as
the world famous Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas,
where 10 Cadillacs were buried to
commemorate the Cadillac, a premiere car of the time.
The new display is seven large Airstreams and one
half size 16 feet long. This display of art also is a tribute to a true American icon (the Airstream), and to how
Airstream is now the premier travel trailer in the world.
Airstream is made in America, but has dealerships
around the world, including Japan and Australia.
INTERESTING NOTE: 60% of all Airstreams
produced are still on the road!
Please show your support for the art of the
Airstream Ranch. E-mail your comments to
[email protected] or call (941) 485-9542.

orgainzation: Camp Cherry
Log. Nestled among towering
pines, old growth and stately
oak trees in the Blue Ridge
mountains, Camp Cherry Log

Hospitality in the enormous log
clubhouse, complete with stone
fireplace to take the chill off the

at each site. For that perfect
family reunion, furnished cabins can be reserved in
advance. If perchance, you
have friends or relatives who

tent sites are also available.
Watch the deer feed along
the trout stream that meanders
through the cent of Camp
Cherry Log. For the nature
lover there are miles of hiking
trails, virtually untouched by
man.
Camp Cherry Log . . . the perfect spot for club rallies or
retreats in an idyllic setting. It’s

TRADE FOR ANYTHING!!
W
hen Bates RV started in 1986, the
official name was Bates RV
Exchange. It was meant to mean a
lot of RVs . . . like the New York Jewelry
Exchange. However, there was a misunderstanding among certain customers who
took this to mean they could exchange RVs
for whatever. That tradition still continues
today and every couple of years Bates RV
has a big auction to sell off all the strange
and unusual trades acumulated.
So . . . if there’s anything you are not able
to sell or trade, give Bates RV a try. Trade
for a RV and get out and have some fun!
Look for our next
auction in March!

No Other Dealer Does This!!
H
i, I’m Frank Bates.
My wife and I started the dealership
over 20 years ago. We
pride ourselves in customer satisfaction before,
during and after the sale.
If for any reason, you
are not completely satisfied with your experience at Bates RV, please
ask for me
personally or call me at
home (941) 485-9542.
This message is what
customers listen to if
placed on hold while
calling Bates RV front
desk.
This message is at the
service desk on nearly
40,000 yellow bags.
This message is even
on signs all around the
dealership.
However you notice
this, Bates RV is not
some generic name.
We do this for several
reasons:
• To stay in touch with
customers
All employees know
customers have Franks
phone number and call
him when things don’t
go just right. They call
him and that ok with
him. He can then shift
into high gear and get
things right.
You can tell that
customers are satisfied
by all the Happy
Customer letters displayed on our wall and
in our books.
So next time you are
at a RV dealership,
look for the name of
the place. Is the
owner’s name on the
place? Is the owner’s
home phone number
available?
Everyone gets treated
like they are related
to Frank!
Why we
do this . . .
