American company, Ever Green Recreational Vehicles are the first company to introduce an eco-friendly trailer – the eco friendly, all-composite Ever-Lite travel trailer.
Ever Green explains that the trailers are virtually wood free, making them lighter, longer-lasting and more fuel-efficient, describing is perfect for the camper who wants the amenities of a full featured travel trailer in an aerodynamic lightweight package. Loaded up with standard features, an Ever-Lite weighs 1,000 to 1,200 pounds lighter than major competitors, making it easier and cheaper to tow.
The Ever-Lites are also completely recyclable, made using a proprietary construction process called ComposiTek. The trailers also are billed as hypoallergenic and low VOC (fewer volatile organic compounds).
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.”
