industry source for RV and outdoor enthusiasts, today announced the
formation of a strategic alliance with Digital Rez International Inc.

network of camping enthusiasts; it?s a win-win for everyone involved.?
Digital Rez will be re-branding its mainstream camping software systems
to align with the RVTripsetter brand and releasing the RVTripsetter
product to all of its individual RV and camping resorts in the fourth
quarter of 2007. In addition it will be gearing its support and development
staff to provide additional innovations to its online reservation systems,
property management networks and credit card processing services for
RV park and campground operations worldwide.
?We?re thrilled to be extending this relationship all the way into
our campground network.? said Ken Lahoda, CEO of Digital Rez International.
?Over the past five years Affinity Group and Digital Rez have worked

to grow and prosper in a whole new way, enhanced with the trust of Affinity
Group.?
