With gas prices already creeping above $4.00 per gallon, and with economists projecting a one-in-three chance that gas will reach $5.00 per gallon at some point over the summer, Little Guy Worldwide, the world's leading distributor of lightweight towable teardrop camper trailers reports seeing a significant increase in consumer interest in micro sized campers.
According to Little Guy Worldwide COO Chris Baum, "Little Guy has been experiencing steady growth over the past several years, but the extent to which sales of teardrop campers counter trends gas prices is really remarkable. It is clear to us that rising gas prices influence consumer preference when selecting recreational vehicles. Consumers are looking for more affordable ways to enjoy camping and the outdoors, and teardrops really fit the bill."
Teardrop campers have been around since the 1940's when honeymooners would travel the countryside in their "honeymoon coaches" constructed from salvaged World War II Jeep tires and the aluminum skin from wartime bombers. A lot has changed since then, but these small trailers evoke a sense of nostalgia that harkens back to a simpler time before massive gas guzzling RVs clogged the highways during the spring and summer.
Little Guy Worldwide has gained wide distribution and notoriety for their Little Guy and Silver Shadow lines of teardrop trailers. The campers are regularly featured on The Price is Right television game show as well as Let's Make a Deal, and Lazydays, one of the nation's largest recreational vehicle retailers, has even begun to carry the company's teardrops.
Little Guy Teardrop Camper Trailers are manufactured in Sugarcreek, Ohio by highly skilled Amish craftsmen for distribution by Little Guy Worldwide, the world's leading distributor of lightweight towable RVs. Little Guy is headquartered in Massillion, Ohio with dealers located throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and Australia.
