WAKARUSA, Ind. -- Jeep introduced two different versions of automotive campers this week in Moab, Utah, during the 2010 Moab Jeep Safari. These campers are made exclusively for Jeep by Livin Lite Recreational Vehicles.
One is an extreme off-road edition (the orange one) which features a large 37-inch Jeep rims and tires, a steel skid plate with hidden axle, articulating pintel hitch for maximum flexibility when off-road trailering, Jeep tail lights with cages, Jeep latches, sprayed on liner on roof with the Mopar logo in it, heavy duty support legs, custom painted exterior to match the consumer’s Jeep, tent and sofa with Jeep branding on it and more.
The other version is the “street” version which features the actual Jeep rear bumper with matching fender flairs, Jeep tail lights, Jeep latches, Jeep Rubicon tires and wheels, Jeep branding on the tent and sofa and more.
These vehicles are part of Jeep product offerings to their dealers and were introduced at MOAB, along with their other new Jeep products.
"Jeep has approximately 3,000 dealers nationwide who will be selling these new campers and are excited to offer a product that fits in so well with the “lifestyle” they promote with their off-roading vehicles," said Scott Tuttle, president of Livin Lite. "Jeep dealers can order the campers in exact colors to match new vehicles being sold, including matching interiors, rims and tires.
“I don’t know if I can adequately convey how blessed we are at Livin Lite to be able to work on this project with Chrysler/Jeep to design a unique camper that is going to bring the RV lifestyle to a truly mainstream audience,” said Tuttle.
He added that Chrysler/Jeep was attracted to Livin Lite’s unique all-aluminum lightweight design and the fact that the campers offer a nice sized living space in such a compact size.
“I have been beating the drum of affordable, lightweight automotive campers for years now and I couldn’t be more excited that the No. 1 brand name for off-roading and number one in vehicle retention has chosen our campers to offer to their valued customers,” said Tuttle. “Recent reports show that for every one family that will purchase a traditional, self-contained RV this year, there are 175 more families who are camping in tents out of their cars.
"Livin Lite campers are designed to appeal to this massive demographic to help get them off of the ground – whether it’s a Jeep camper or a Quicksilver camper, we are excited to help them take their first step in the RVing lifestyle,” he added.
