RIVERSIDE, Calif., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fleetwood
Enterprises' RV Group, a leading producer of recreational vehicles,
today announced the launch of two new Ultralite travel trailer
brands, the 2009 Backpack and Compass. With a GVWR starting at less
than 2,500 lbs, the brand-new Backpack and Compass Ultralite travel
trailers feature six-sided aluminum construction with high-density
block foam insulation. Laminated floor, sidewall and ceiling
construction also help to reduce overall weight. The 2009 Backpack
and Compass offer spacious interiors with both seven-foot and
eight-foot wide floor plans in 76" and 78" ceiling heights. The
contemporary interior decors and striking exterior graphics add to
the allure of these fun light-duty-compatible travel trailers. "The
rising cost of fuel has led to an increased need for RV
manufacturers to produce lighter products that can be towed by
smaller trucks and SUVs," said Paul Eskritt, President of
Fleetwood's RV Group. "When we were in the planning and development
stages for Backpack and Compass, we focused not only on reducing
the overall weight of the trailers but on maintaining the amenities
and style that our customers want. The positive feedback from our
dealers and customers tells us that we are moving in the right
direction, and continues to fuel our desire to further innovate
within the Ultralite segment." Key features on the 2009 Backpack
and Compass include under-cabinet-mounted four-speaker
MP3-player-compatible AM/FM radio with CD player, hardwood cabinet
doors, and a host of popular options such as exterior marine
speakers, 19" LCD TV with DVD player, and aluminum wheels. The
high-gloss laminated exterior walls on the 2009 Backpack and
Compass are durable, sleek, and easy to maintain. Lower overall
height, a lightweight steel-framed chassis, and an aerodynamic
front wall all round out the features that make the 2009 Backpack
and Compass easy-to-tow camping companions. The 2009 Backpack and
Compass models range in length from 16 - 24 feet, with MSRPs
starting around $16,000. For more information on the 2009 Backpack
