Prime Time Manufacturing has expanded its product offering with the introduction of the all new Tracer Micro series travel trailer targeted toward mini van and small crossover tow vehicles. Industry insiders got their first look at the new Tracer Micro during the just completed Forest River dealer open house in Elkhart, IN.

“The thinking behind the new Micro is simple”, according to Jeff Rank, president for the Wakarusa, IN based manufacturer. “Prime Time wanted a travel trailer that can easily be towed by a mini van with 3,500 lbs of towing capacity. Unfortunately, most of the units in this weight range really compromise livability and function. With Micro we’ve combined great looks, the right features, and many of today’s lightweight composite materials to create a perfect balance between weight, price, features, and eye appeal”.

Three floorplans, all with slide-outs, are being offered in the Tracer Micro series with shipping weights starting at 2,550 lbs fully loaded. Standard interior equipment includes Cherry cabinets and Cherry hardwood cabinet doors, automotive styled leather wrapped dinettes, microwave, air conditioner, and CD player. On the outside, a full sized awning, stabilizer jacks, spare tire, stereo speakers, television hook-up, and aluminum wheels are also included as standard equipment.

MSRP for the new Tracer Micro series starts at $14,900.

In what could amount to a major breaking news story for the U.S. RV industry, China’s Yutong Bus Co. Ltd. has invited RV industry suppliers to a ‘’special meeting” next Tuesday (Aug. 3) in Elkhart to discuss the ”planned introduction of a new series of Class A motorhomes.”

The invitation notes that there will be an introduction of the company, including a descriptive outline of the company’s products, a presentation on issues related to the international supply chain (payment, packaging, documentation, freight costs, timeline, etc.) and the importance of U.S. suppliers.

Private meetings will be scheduled for the remainder of the week, according to the invitation.
While there was no description of the new line in the invitation, a four-page spec sheet termed the ”original wish list” was included. It noted that the unnamed fiberglass-and-aluminum motorhome will have 28- to 30-foot floorplans on 22,000-pound GVWR chassis equipped with 250/280-hp Cummins or Navistar diesel engines.

Amenities will include solid-surface countertops, leather sofas and swivel rockers.
