US Lighting Group announced that its subsidiary, Cortes Campers, has received an initial purchase order worth $1.5 million from Outback RV, its new dealer in Denton, Texas. Camper deliveries to Texas are expected to start during the second half of 2022; additional terms were not disclosed.
“Cortes Campers is delighted to announce this initial $1.5 million order from Outback RV, our exclusive dealer in the state of Texas,” said Anthony Corpora, CEO and president of US Lighting Group. “Having a dealer in Texas allows us to expand our Cortes brand to the South-Central part of the United States, where we see a great deal of demand. Since December 2021, we have received $6.8 million in purchase orders from our Cortes Campers dealers in North America and we believe there are many more opportunities for growth going forward.
“In addition, given the current high level of market interest in our 17-foot RV travel trailer, we have created new tooling to dramatically lower labor costs and increase our ability to produce more campers in the coming months, with our focus on a goal of 20 campers per week by the fourth quarter.”
Added Laura Kress, owner of Outback RV: “Outback RV of Texas Co. is a family owned, boutique style dealership located in Denton, Texas. Our company is extremely proud of the overland and teardrop camper trailers we sell, and the off-road community we attract and love! Outback RV of Texas is very excited to carry the Cortes Campers line, as it rounds out the vision and direction towards which our company is heading.”
