Camper Firm Announces Gas-Friendly RV Kit for Compact Cars

(Lancaster, CA) High gasoline prices have forced many Americans to curtail recreational activities, and sales of RVs have plummeted as gas has averaged almost $3 per gallon this summer.

In response, Lance Campers - the top US producer of RVs and campers - announced the release of its new "Miser-Cruiser" line of mini-camper retrofits.

"Our basic unit is designed to accommodate the 3-cylinder Geo Metro," said company president Jack Cole. "The Miser-Cruiser camper is simply the most manageable, most cost-effective RV available on the market, unless you count that rusty trailer your cousin has been trying to pawn off on you for ten years."

Cole said that the Geo Metro model sleeps seven and gets an estimated 35 MPG on the highway.

"Of course, seven people is pretty packed, but it can be done," he said. "The big thing is you can get from Point A to Point B cheaper with the Miser-Cruiser than any other mode of transportation, except for a goat cart."

The only drawback to the Miser-Cruiser, said Cole, is its lackluster performance in extreme conditions.

"I'd say you'll be pretty much fucked if you want to take this contraption in the mountains," admitted Cole. "And you won't make any friends in the mile-long line of cars with bigger engines behind you going uphill. But - performance aside - this is one cheap mode of transportation."
