Every Miles A Memory
Expedition Leader
I got a press release about this new Eco-Friendly Travel Trailer company and thought it looked pretty neat. What do you all think? I know this isnt necessarily Overland Material, but I'm thinking this is the new wave of the future and is where all Manufacturers should be headed when it comes to their build standards. Using sustainable products and better products like this company uses
For the record, I have no affiliation with this company, just passing along a new products for fellow Travelers to consider. Here is the press release.
EverGreen Recreational Vehicles is revolutionizing the camping world with a new generation of all composite, eco-friendly, travel trailers that are as healthy for your family as they are for the environment.
EverGreen produces an eco-friendly trailer of composite materials that is virtually wood-free, creating a longer lasting, lighter weight product that is easier to tow and more fuel-efficient. The new Ever-Lite(tm) travel trailers are manufactured using EverGreen's proprietary ComposiTek(tm) construction process making them completely recyclable not to end up in the landfill.
President of EverGreen, Doug Lantz, elaborated how using composites to produce a green travel trailer resulted in a more durable product, potentially outlasting conventionally built products by decades.
By eliminating wood and incorporating composite materials, we have achieved a product that is tougher, more durable, lighter weight and virtually waterproof. Moisture and water damage were the demise of old wood RVs--with the use of composites, we have eliminated this weakness to produce a longer lasting product with higher resale value," he stated. EverGreen's eco-friendly ComposiTek(tm) construction incorporates composite materials to make Ever-Lite(tm) trailers stronger, virtually waterproof, low VOC, hypoallergenic and significantly lighter than the standard travel trailer.
A few of the key features standard in the EverGreen Coaches are listed below
-- Stronger and More Impact Resistant -- ComposiTek(tm) construction, tested by an independent laboratory, is four times the strength of wood products. Originally specified for military use, ComposiTek(tm) materials are vacuum laminated onto a structural frame of double-welded aluminum. This vacuum-lamination process results in one-piece walls, floors and ceilings without seams -- much like automotive uni-body construction -- resulting in less flex and sway on the road.
-- ComposiTek is Waterproof -- The walls, roof and floor of an Ever-Lite(tm) trailer will not dry rot, mildew or deteriorate from exposure to water or humidity. That's why it is covered with a 12-year warranty on the roof, a three-year warranty on the structural integrity and a two-year bumper-to-hitch warranty.
-- Low VOCs and Hypoallergenic -- EverGreen composite materials are healthier for your family. They are free of out-gassing of VOCs inherent in lesser brands. Since it will not absorb humidity or condensation, it inhibits the growth of mold spores and mildew that aggravate allergies when camping.
-- Lighter Weight and More Fuel Efficient -- EverGreen does not reduce weight by cutting appliances and skimping on amenities. EverGreen simply engineered a lighter coach with ComposiTek(tm) construction. Loaded up with standard features, an EverGreen weighs 1,000 to 1,200 pounds lighter than major competitors yet still has if not exceeds many of the competitors features.
-- More Eco-Friendly -- ComposiTek(tm) construction is lighter and more fuel-efficient. Every trailer we build eliminates the use of heavy lauan, tropical hardwoods and conventional plywood in the construction of the sidewalls, roof and floors. This means when purchasing an EverGreen Coach, you're helping to keep are forests safe and our future generations enjoying the outdoors
