The new X-Lite by Cougar travel trailer has burst into the marketplace as a favorite of RV consumers who seek better fuel economy and greater value.

X-Lite retail sales for the first six months of 2007 continue to set record numbers and outpace the market, according to Cougar product manager Chris Hermon. With the rapid growth in orders, production rates for the X-Lite are scheduled to increase significantly by the end of the year.

The X-Lite offers not only half-ton towability but all the great looks and features consumers have come to expect in the Cougar product line, says Hermon. “We didn’t take our number one selling Cougar product and sacrifice anything. Instead we broke new ground and leveraged what we know about value, features and floorplans. The X-Lite has a high end look and high end sizzle all packaged in a quality product that can be towed with today’s lighter tow vehicles.”

To be introduced later this year are two new X-Lite travel trailer floorplans as well as the first X-Lite fifth wheel model. Continues Hermon, “By expanding the hot-turning X-Lite line we are giving consumers exactly what they are asking for. X-Lite represents the principal upon which the Cougar product line was established—high value, lighterweight trailers that are easily towed.”
