CANTON, Ohio, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Little Guy Teardrop Camper Trailers, the world's best selling brand of teardrop camper trailers, recently announced a retail distribution agreement with Camping World that launches lightweight teardrop camper trailers into the recreational vehicle (RV) mainstream. Little Guy Worldwide is headquartered in Canton, Ohio and has a worldwide dealer network that spans the United States, Canada, Europe, South Africa, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Teardrop camper trailers were popularized after World War II, and the proliferation of small, fuel-efficient cars on America's highways has prompted a need for lightweight campers that can be pulled by virtually any vehicle with a hitch. With models available at around 500 pounds and ranging from 4 to 6 feet in width, teardrop camper trailers enable small car owners to get out and go camping while maintaining many of the benefits of owning a recreational vehicle.
According to Chris Baum, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Little Guy, "The U.S. may be in a recession, but we just aren't seeing it. Sales of our teardrops counter-trend current economic conditions. Teardrop camper trailers have a minimal impact on the fuel economy of the tow vehicle."
John Sirpilla, Camping World President of Retail Operations said, "The Little Guy product is a natural extension into our expanding base of products to serve the outdoor enthusiast. We are impressed by the growing number of outdoor enthusiasts who have found the Little Guy to be the solution to their camping and travel needs and are excited to serve them in this capacity."
Little Guy Teardrop Camper Trailers will roll out through the end of the year at nine Camping World Locations throughout the U.S. Joe Kicos, owner of Little Guy Worldwide, commented, "Our entry into this retail channel represents an opportunity for a formerly niche product to gain wider exposure to the camping public while offering Camping World's customers a high-quality, affordable product that is environmentally friendly and which recognizes that not everyone owns a vehicle capable of towing a larger travel trailer."
