    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."
    For dealer inquiries or product information, contact Chris Baum or Joe
Kicos at 877-545-4897. Additional model and product information can also be
