FTCA Inc. Debuts 2009 Coleman(R) Camping Trailers at Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show


SOMERSET, PA.--(Marketwire - September 8, 2008) - FTCA Inc., formerly known as Fleetwood Folding Trailers, today announced that it will debut its 2009 line of Coleman® Camping Trailers at the Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show in Hershey, Pa., Sept. 10-14. (Booth #540W).

"Today, people yearning to travel and experience the great outdoors are looking for affordable, enjoyable and environmentally friendly ways to do so," said Dana Gehman, FTCA Product Development & Marketing Manager. "The Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show is a great opportunity to see what the new Coleman Camping Trailers have to offer."

Results of a recent study commissioned by the RVIA show that RV vacations cost less and create a smaller carbon footprint than fly/drive/hotel vacations. With the high cost of energy, environmental awareness means not only conserving natural resources but also personal finances; so many consumers are trading their SUVs for more fuel-efficient smaller vehicles.

"People who enjoy camping tend to be environmentally aware, and Coleman Camping Trailers are compatible with environmentally responsible camping because they're designed for self-contained use in naturally secluded, low-environmental-impact campsites," continued Gehman.

The 2009 line of Coleman Camping Trailers includes 18 models designed to suit most every tow vehicle, lifestyle and budget. Nine of the new Coleman Camping Trailers will be on display at the Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show. They represent the most popular models, including the lightweight (1,270 pounds UVW) small car compatible Cobalt; the popular Highlander® series Niagara, the easy and economical to tow and stow travel trailer alternative; and the energetic off-road toy hauler Evolution® Series E3.
