Motor Momentum

Coach House Motor Homes customers are so valued that David Gerzeny, co-founder and president, insists anyone who buys a vehicle also stay the night.

Gerzeny, though, doesn't manage a roadside motel. He instead set up a secure area on the company's five-acre property in Venice for new customers. The idea is for buyers, mostly couples over 65 who spend at least $130,000 on a Coach House motor home, to check everything inside the vehicle overnight. Then they can report back on any issues in the morning.

“Understanding the operational items of the vehicle is very important,” says Gerzeny. “We are building a house on a set of wheels that will last. That's our claim to fame.”
