EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, makers of lightweight, easy to tow, eco-friendly travel trailers and fifth wheels, has been making a lot of news lately. First, the Ever-Lite travel trailer was named a "Best Buy" in the Consumers Digest's May/June issue. Now, the Element travel trailer is featured on the cover of the Spring edition of RV Lifestyle Magazine. RV Lifestyle is Canada's #1 source for RV news, how tos, reviews, and resources concerning the RV lifestyle. EverGreen Recreational Vehicles' other travel trailers and fifth wheel models, such as the Ever-Lite, Ever-Lite Select, and i-Go have been covered in the popular magazine in the past.

The writer, Norm Rosen,touted the Element's aerodynamic styling and easy towability while discussing the industry's move towards creating lightweight, easy to tow travel trailers that can be pulled with smaller tow vehicles such as mid-sized SUVs. Rosen noted that Element's ease of towing makes also makes it a fuel efficient RV model, harkening to the days when people pulled travel trailers with smaller cars and trucks.

On Element's construction, Rosen stated: "There is no doubt that the engineers who have created the Ever Green [Recreational Vehicles travel trailers] have been inspired by European design, American automotive technology, and the latest in sustainable composite materials." These composite materials are what make EverGreen's products green, eco-friendly, and also lightweight and easy to tow.

Rosen continued: "Step into the Element and you are immediately impressed by the elegance of interior components – smooth functional curves flow gracefully throughout the trailer, cabinet doors are sculpted from composites, and the structure and cabinetry is crafted from exceptionally durable ComposiTek™ materials that are ultra-resistant to rot and mildew." Also noted was the Element's frame design, which features advanced fulcrum tracking, making it easy to tow.

Remarking on the interior, Rosen said, "We were very impressed with the clean, functional lines of the Element’s interior. Keeping in mind that this is a rather large lightweight towable trailer, the interior is quite spacious – compare this to other RVs of similar weight, not to trailers of similar length that have larger
slide-out sections and tip the scales hundreds if not thousands of pounds heavier than the Element.

Rosen then summed up the Element's features: "If you are looking for a sleek, futuristic travel trailer that will tow like a dream behind your family sedan or van, the Element ET26SRL certainly fills the bill. With Eco-friendly composite materials and the very latest in RV technology, this trailer will turn heads everywhere you go."

EverGreen RV, creators of the first lightweight composite travel trailers, has added a third floor plan to its new ultra-lightweight, affordable Ascend travel trailer series—now available in 17, 19 and 23 foot models. The new Ascend travel trailers meet consumer demand for lighter-weight, fuel-efficient travel trailers that can be towed by the family sedan or mid-sized SUVs. Ranging from 2,900 to 3,950 pounds the entire series is engineered to be lightweight without compromising essential equipment and quality—an EverGreen tradition.    

EverGreen has dedicated a full production line to the Ascend product at its Middlebury facility.  Both existing and new dealers are taking on the product each week. Large, protected trade territories are now available. Crowley RV Center, of Bristol Connecticut carries the original EverGreen Ever-Lite brand of trailers, and was the first to take on the Ascend. General Manager Tony Virello explained how the new Ascend is a perfect fit for his dealership.

“We’ve had great success with the original EverGreen Ever-Lite products,” said Virello. “The Ascend is a nice addition to our lot. The lightweight, easy-to-tow segment of the marketplace is absolutely growing. Customers are also looking for the level of quality construction that EverGreen offers. People are quite a bit more knowledgeable of the types of construction than they used to be. Customers are more and more aware of the EverGreen name. They understand the problems inherent with wooden-framed, aluminum-skinned RVs. Cheaper no longer translates to better for many customers,” concluded Virello.
