New Featherlite SURV trailers designed for easy towing and comfortable living during outdoor adventures
 

The new all-aluminum Sport Utility Recreational Vehicle (SURV) trailers introduced by Featherlite can haul a wide array of “toys” while providing the comforts of home while at the campgrounds, on the trails or out on the road. New for 2006, the Featherlite SURV trailers are designed to haul ATVs, motorcycles, dirt bikes, dune buggies, cars and more and are available in a gooseneck or bumper pull platform.

“Featherlite SURV trailers are stylish, easy to tow and are functional as a home on wheels – plus garage for recreation enthusiasts and their families,” National Sales Manager Randy Lewis said.

Featuring a 3-degree aerodyne slope and v-nose for easier towing, the Featherlite SURV bumper pull Model 7924 is available in 3 sizes – 20, 24 and 28 feet (not including v-nose). Inside, outdoor enthusiasts ready for adventure away from home can find two fold-down benches, a refrigerator, cooktop stove, restroom with shower and toilet, vanity with sink, cabinets, an optional pull down queen bed in the rear, colorful graphics and more. The 28’ version includes a queen size bed in the front.

The SURV gooseneck Model 7943 is available in 3 sizes –24, 28 and 32 feet (not including gooseneck) – and includes two fold-down benches, a queen size bed in the gooseneck, refrigerator, cooktop stove, restroom with shower and toilet, vanity with sink, cabinets, an optional pull down queen bed in the rear, colorful graphics and more.

For over three decades, Featherlite has been manufacturing aluminum trailers for hauling cars, ATVs, snow- mobiles, motorcycles, horses and more, while gaining expertise in designing and building durable and innovative trailers. “Unlike some SURVs or toy haulers that are made of steel or wood, Featherlite’s SURV trailers are manufactured with premium, corrosion- resistant aluminum, giving people a lighter, easier towing trailer that is durable and will withstand many miles of hauling,” Lewis said. “In addition, Featherlite SURVs have a lower floor height that makes loading toys and equipment easier.” Featherlite is also distinctive for building both its trailers and interiors within the same facility. “This gives our customers detailed attention to the trailer’s design, construction and overall quality from start to finish as well as a one-source warranty,” Lewis said.

Featherlite has a wide array of options to choose from and can custom design any SURV trailer complete with living quarters to a customer’s exact specifications.
