May 26, 2006 Norfolk, VA – RVTraderOnline.com, an online showroom of over 85,000 recreational vehicles across the US and a division of Trader Publishing Company determined that travel trailers are the most requested RV type after observing an April report of class searches conducted by visitors to the website.

In April, 25% of the total class searches performed on the site yield results for travel trailers. Following closely behind with 24% of the total searches are class A motorhomes. However, compared to previous months these figures have recently flip-flopped since the largest percentage have always searched for class A motorhomes.

Trailing far behind the two front-runners are class C motorhomes with 13%, followed by fifth wheels, folding campers, toy haulers, truck campers, class B motorhomes, and scaling down to park models with less than 2% of the total class searches.

Scott Vollmer, the Business Development Manager for RVTraderOnline.com states, “well this doesn’t come as a complete surprise, certainly sales have been trending this way for some time now. We are only a bit surprised to see the Class A finally replaced at the top of our charts. This is certainly a trend we will continue to monitor carefully throughout 2006.”

RVTraderOnline.com, an online showroom of over 85,000 recreational vehicles across the US and a division of Trader Publishing Company has undergone a website redesign in an attempt to simplify the search process for RV buyers and posting an ad for RV sellers.

Among the alterations to the website is a Quick Search function on the homepage, allowing visitors to begin their search immediately upon entering the site. This function appears above the fold so that it is easy to spot.

Another improvement is a Browse feature that allows buyers to see results by class, location, manufacturer, and also by dealer. Results can be formatted and featured by listing, photo gallery, or tabular view. The Browse feature is ideal for buyers who aren’t yet sure what they would like to see in a recreational vehicle. Each results page provides “bread-crumbs” to lead the user back to a more general results page so that they may continue to browse under different criteria.

Finally, buyers and sellers can find a table containing resources for their recreational vehicles on every page of the website. RVTraderOnline.com recognizes the importance of recommending services like insurance quotes, warranty, escrow, financing, parts & accessories, campgrounds and rental services.

Scott Vollmer, the Business Development Manager of RVTraderOnline.com shares his feelings on the website redesign, “this is a long-awaited change that we have been developing and testing for months. After nearly 5 years of the same website design, we’re ready for a new approach and more streamlined maneuverability for our users.”
