Fleetwood RV, a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles, has announced the launch of the 2006 Pegasus and Orbit hybrid trailers. These new innovative ultralite trailers were designed to maximize payload capacity, addressing customers’ needs for lighter-weight trailers to be towed by a new generation of SUVs and pickup trucks with higher fuel economy.

Fleetwood’s new Pegasus and Orbit hybrid trailers feature aluminum framed laminated construction with Sunbrella® fold-out tents for added sleeping quarters and more living space. Each brand will have four different floor plans to choose from, each offering ample sleeping accommodations, storage space and style. The lengths range from 19' - 26', each with a generous 8' width and 80'' interior ceilings. The standard dry weight ranges from 3,400 pounds to 4,200 pounds.

The exterior styling on the Pegasus and Orbit hybrids gives towable customers an exciting new lightweight product with colorful graphics and a streamlined design. The aerodynamic front profile, low floor height and independent torsion suspension system enhance towability. The interior design complements the exterior with curved shape countertops and stylized window valances. Special emphasis was placed on interior storage, including large overhead cabinets accommodating full size dinner plates and bulky items.

“Our industry has seen a tremendous desire for more lightweight trailer options,” said Chris Braun, Executive Vice President of Fleetwood RV. “Fleetwood’s new line of Orbit and Pegasus hybrid travel trailers will provide consumers with an innovative, lightweight trailer option that looks great going down the road.”
