Exclusive Introduction Event Scheduled for Key RV Dealerships
MIDDLEBURY, Ind., June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Pilgrim International, Inc.
(Pilgrim) announced today that it will be unveiling the RV industry's first
production built composite units at a special "invitation only" event to be
held on June 25th. The day will include a tour of the manufacturing facilities
where the composite travel trailers and fifth wheels are being produced,
followed by a grand unveiling of the new ULTIMA(C) ComposiLite and SUPRA(C)
ComposiLite brands. "This is the most excited I have ever been in my thirty
years in this industry," commented Dave Hoefer, Founder of Pilgrim
International. "These units are the beginning of a revolution in the RV
industry. They are so much lighter and stronger than anything (this industry)
has ever seen."
"The weight savings by replacing wood with CosmoLite composites is so
dramatic that we are able to use less steel in the chassis." Continued Hoefer,
"In fact, we have one fifth wheel floor plan where just the chassis itself is
six hundred pounds lighter!"
Interest in the composite RVs has spiked since Pilgrim showed the first
prototype model at the Industry's Trade show last November. "It was really a
'perfect storm' of circumstances that has created so much excitement in our
composite program," said Doug Lantz, Chief Operating Officer. "The rising cost
of fuel has created a demand for lighter weight products, the fact that the
composite materials are formaldehyde free, and our commitment to these units
being Eco-friendly culminated in a huge wave of interest."
Key RV dealerships from the United States and Canada will be in attendance
as well as many of the key supplier-partners responsible for the creation of
the Composite units. The event is being held at Spring Meadow Golf Course in
Middlebury, Indiana. Additional event information or requests for invitations
are available by contacting VP of Marketing Jerry Sell at (574) 825-8686.
