CrossRoads RV has confirmed that its all new SlingShot travel trailer was the lightest unit displayed at the 46th Annual National RVIA Show, December 4-7, 2008. "The dealer response was overwhelming By developing a 30' trailer, with a slide-out, weighing less than 3,700 pounds, we have created a new product segment in the industry Now smaller six-cylinder SUV's and minivans are legitimate tow vehicles. By accommodating a much larger universe of tow vehicles, the SlingShot has become the best product launch in CrossRoads RV history", states President, Mark Lucas.
The SlingShot units are a full 8' wide, yet still weigh the least per square foot of living area versus any other unit in the industry. This was achieved by utilizing the latest in automotive and aerospace technology. The SlingShot features a total of five floor plans ranging from 19 feet to 30 feet in length, three equipped with a slide-out.
"Customers who already own a smaller tow vehicle have previously been forced to choose between a tent camper, tear drop or smaller floor plan with outside cooking facilities and limited floor space. These same customers can now tow a fully enclosed 26 foot travel trailer with sleeping room for six people. If you own a minivan because you have six people in your family, your travel trailer should accommodate your whole family," states Larry Weaver, National Sales Manager for the SlingShot.
CrossRoads RV will commence full production of the SlingShot in January at its main complex in Topeka, Indiana. Crossroads RV is a division of THOR Industries and also manufacturers a wide variety of travel trailers, fifth wheels and park models at five plant locations. Its products are distributed by dealers throughout the United States, Canada, France, Japan and Australia.
