Unlike every other method of information updating to an aggregated database, the InstantUpdate system used in the RVBuyersguide virtually guarantees that potential buyers are seeing only up-to-the minute competitive information and data.

The “InstantUpdate” system provides participating RV manufacturer’s with free tools to allow them to easily and instantly update their products’; Specs, Inclusions, Dimensions, Images, Floor Plans and List Prices…for every one of their RV models.

The application of this unique tool set in the aggregation of data for the RV Buyers Guide will result in the RV industry becoming the first to provide potential customers with the benefits of timely inclusion of important product differentiating data.

Each participating manufacturer will receive entry to a password-protected on-line interface into the “InstantUpdate” system, so they can make changes to their data found in the RV Buyers Guide database…instantly updating their product information found in both RVMotoring.com and TheAutoChannel.com. TACH’s RVmotoring.com presents information from each major RV manufacturer and specifications, photos and floorplans of almost all models of new motorhomes, travel trailers and fifth-wheel trailers. Since its January, 2007 launch, RVmotoring.com’s Buyer’s Guide grew quickly in popularity, currently scoring tens of thousands of online visitors each month, and ranking extremely high in search engines. Today, the RV Buyer’s Guide is the web’s most comprehensive database of new RV specifications and new model information.

“Visitors to our RV Buyer’s Guide are serious RV shoppers, utilizing the web’s most useful RV shopping tool,” emphasized Dan Prescott, editor of RVmotoring.com. “The new interface allows RV manufacturers to ensure that their most current model information is online and accessible immediately to RV shoppers. We have also standardized our lists of standard and optional features to make it even easier for consumers to compare one RV model with its competitors.”

The RVmotoring.com RV Buyer’s Guide features the same exclusive technology that TACH uses for its New Car Buyer’s Guide. Consumers can look up RV models by manufacturer, or rank RVs according to price, length, weight, or a variety of other specifications. Users can simultaneously evaluate up to four RVs in a head-to-head comparison, using TACH’s exclusive 4-RV Compar-A-Graph.

The RV Buyers Guide can be accessed directly at rv.theautochannel.com, or through www.RVmotoring.com or via TACH’s homepage at www.TheAutoChannel.com.
