NORTH CANTON, Ohio, April 15 -- Little Guy Worldwide recently premiered its new ruggedized line of teardrop camper trailers at the 2008 Moab Easter Jeep(R) Safari.

According to Kip Czoch, the company's factory rep at the weeklong event, "The Little Rough Rider defeated every obstacle, climbing off camber without scraping or bumping on either approach or breaking over angles on departure. This truly is a first in the recreational vehicle industry: a camper that can be taken off-road, just about anywhere that your 4-wheel drive can go. Of course, with a minimum of 19 inches of water-fording capability, and 31 inch all-terrain tires, it's not hard to see how the Little Rough Rider would eat up the brush and the trails."

The Little Rough Rider Moab Safari Edition weighs approximately 1,100 pounds and has full 11 gauge steel skid plates. It comes standard with 31x10.5R15 tires on 8x15 wheels. The frame is 2 inches x 3 inches welded and powder coated for extra protection, and the trailer is available in widths of 5 feet and 6 feet (excluding fenders). The overall length is just over 12 feet including the tongue.

The rear hatch of the camper opens to expose a galley area with countertop and cabinets, and the camper comes equipped with a custom fit tri-fold mattress and a pintle hitch. Custom graphics packages are available, and so are vehicle-matched fender options. The Little Rough Rider Moab Safari edition retails for between $7,000 and $10,000+.

Some of the many options include a heating and air conditioning package, gas grill tailgater package, video system, and an exoskeleton/roof rack system that will carry your other gear. A Little Guy Sport Model is also available that includes a front-mounted platform with stowaway ramps for hauling a four- wheeler or two dirt bikes.

Little Guy Worldwide markets a full line of teardrop camper trailers ranging in price from $2,995 and are available in thousands of color and graphics combinations including college and professional team colors, camouflage, and ultra high-gloss aluminum. The product's light weight and efficient shape make Little Guy Teardrop Camper Trailers easy to tow with virtually any vehicle with a hitch.

Little Guy Teardrop Camper Trailers are regularly featured on the Price Is Right (R) television game show and can be purchased through a worldwide network of dealers or at select Gander Mountain locations nationwide. According to Joe Kicos, owner and general manager of Little Guy Worldwide, "The U.S. economy may be in a recession, but you wouldn't know it judging by the rate at which we are setting up new dealers across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The high gas prices and the fact that our camper trailer can be towed by nearly any vehicle with a hitch actually helps us sell trailers."
