  • EverGreen Zooms into Motorized Market with Imperial Class B Motorhome



    After successfully making a name in the towable RV segment, EverGreen Recreational Vehicles is taking on the Class B Motorhome market. The new Imperial is a unique concept with the look and automotive luxury of an executive limousine. EverGreen’s entrance into the motorized segment has been well received and continues to grow.
    EverGreen’s innovative approach to the class B resulted in a motorhome 10-inches wider than average class B vans, but still fits in a standard parking spot. This gives the Imperial more versatility to transition effortlessly from tailgate parties to touring to overnight stays. Choose from two unique Imperial models, each with a walk-through center aisle layout.
    Both the 245WS and 245TS have a fully equipped galley kitchen with Corian® countertops, refrigerator and microwave for easy food preparation. In the living area the seats are made of soft touch leather vinyl to be stain and water resistant, yet also soft and comfortable. When it’s time to rest, the couch converts to sleep two adults.
    The Imperial is designed for tailgate entertaining. Two flat panel HD television/monitors, one in the front and one in the rear, are available along with easy connections for laptop computers. The rear television rotates and doubles as an outside tailgate feature with rear stereo speakers. Tables fold out for comfort and fold away when not in use. The dash-mounted DVD, navigation and back up camera are convenient whether traveling or parked.
    Built on the award winning Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis, Imperial is powered by the V-6 Mercedes Benz 3.0-liter common-rail direct injection (CRD) turbo diesel engine. This power train provides powerful, smooth, clean and quiet performance with the added benefit of exceptional fuel economy—up to 24 MPG on the highway.

  • EverGreen’s Sun Valley Travel Trailer Remains Hot Seller


    The Sun Valley travel trailer continues to be one of EverGreen’s hottest, full-sized travel trailers. The new Sun Valley for 2015 has been completely repackaged with more standard equipment at a more affordable price. Nestled in the sweet spot of the market, the Sun Valley is EverGreen’s fastest growing brand turning quickly on lots coast to coast.
    Packed with value, the Sun Valley has all the standard equipment and quality construction features families’ love with more floorplans than any other EverGreen travel trailer.
    “With everything from smaller couples trailers perfect for first timers or retired couples, to bunk room models that sleep up to eight comfortably, the Sun Valley is the most versatile travel trailer we build,” states Product Manager for the Sun Valley, Will Gonyon.
    From top to bottom the Sun Valley is designed for durability. The six-sided DuraLite™ Double Welded Aluminum Structure frames every window, door or storage opening to help eliminate leaks, stiffen the superstructure for less flexing, and reduce rot common with conventional wood construction. At the top of the Sun Valley is the TPO roof membrane, mechanically applied to prevent bubbles, mold and mildew. TPO won’t loosen over time, which means less maintenance and dressing in the future. All windows have a frameless automotive trim seal to prevent leaks and give the Sun Valley a sleek look.
    Nine diverse floorplans are designed for all camping families from bunkhouse models, kitchen island floorplans and even models with a separate bathroom entrance. Ranging in lengths from 27 to almost 38-feet, they’re designed to be lightweight and easy to tow with a half-ton pickup, mid or full sized SUV.
    Everything customers are looking for can be found in one economical package. The spacious interior of each Sun Valley is an instant selling feature. Large 42-inch deep slides create enormous living rooms and kitchens filled with plenty of storage. In the bedroom the true residential 60-inch by 80-inch queen bed is comfortable but still allows movement around the bed.
    When it comes to a quick selling travel trailer full of standard features customers want, the Sun Valley is at the top of the affordable class. Sell the fastest growing travel trailer in your protected territory for an unrivaled selling experience.

  • EverGreen’s Reactor is the Hottest Toy Hauler Travel Trailer for 2015



    The newest line of travel trailer toy haulers by EverGreen Recreational Vehicles is turning heads and giving outdoor motorsport enthusiasts more choices to take it to the next level. Seven unique floorplans range from 24 to more than 34 feet in length, so there is an affordable, lightweight Reactor Toy Hauler for everyone.
    The lightweight design creates a versatile and spacious interior. A 102-inch wide body design coupled with standard 101-inch barreled ceiling provides an open concept similar to a fifth wheel – but at an affordable travel trailer price. Reactor has all the essentials, from flexible sleeping arrangements to the fully equipped garage.
    Although lightweight, the Reactor garage is full of quality standard features. Garages range in length from just over 11 to 14-feet, combine that with a seven and a half foot ramp door and loading toys is a breeze. Two welded frame toy locks and 6,000-pound D-ring tie-downs are mounted to the frame so everything stays secure. Stay out on the trail longer with an 18-gallon generator fuel tank and pump system. Keep everything fuelled with an optional 40-gallon equipment tank and 4,000 generator.
    Once the toys are out there are a variety of sleeping arrangements for comfortable sleeping. A HappiJac system lowers a queen-sized bed at the rear of the garage to create a bunk bed with the sleeper sofas below. With the two additional sleeper sofas, the Reactor can sleep eight adults comfortably, depending on the model. The Reactor 21SA, 23FSB, 24FQS and 29FS include a private bedroom with queen-sized bed.
    Clean up after a long day on the trails in a resort style shower with a large rounded shower door in a bathroom larger than most.

  • Hit the Road for St. Patrick’s Day!


    St. Patrick’s Day RV Destinations

    With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to plan your trip and load up your RV. We’ve rounded up a list of places where you can party like a true-blue Irish, and we’ve also thrown in an unlikely suspect as well, in case you just want a relaxing vacation away from the crowd.

    1. Chicago, Illinois

    Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade promises to cover the whole nine yards. Grab a good view on the East side of Michigan Avenue Bridge for a modern day miracle, the Dyeing of the River. Watch the Chicago River turn orange, before transforming into a perfect shade of emerald green, as Chicago attempts to be the “GREENest City in the World on St. Patrick’s Day.”

    2. Boston, Massachusetts

    Nobody celebrates St Patrick’s Day like the Bostonians, where their famous parade draws close to a million spectators. Be sure to arrive dressed in green and bring a ginormous appetite, because you’ll need it as you eat and drink your way through the city’s beloved Irish pubs, like Hennessy’s and The Harp. Afterwards, take a break from the pub crawl for a walk down the Irish Heritage Trail.

    3. Savannah, Georgia

    If you prefer RVing somewhere warm, then say hello to this southern belle, where a few
    campgrounds are located conveniently near the popular St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the Greening of the Fountain at Forsyth Park in the Historic District. Bring your family to the Tara Irish Festival for music, food, crafts and a magic show. Later you can stop by one of the many eateries for green grits or green beer.

    4. Newport Beach, California

    Bike or stroll down miles of pristine coastline that’s bustling with restaurants and cafes. Hit the waves, go kayaking, and maybe even learn how to jetpack–just be sure to save a couple of hours for whale and dolphin watching on Newport Bay.

    5. Dublin, Ohio

    Before the grand parade begins, fuel up at Sells Middle School for a St. Patrick’s All-You-Can-Eat Pancake (plus sausage) Breakfast, organized by the Dublin Lions Club. Then swing by the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and get free admission just for wearing green.

    For more St. Patrick’s Day ideas, just visit RV Trader’s Pinterest page.

  • Dutchmen Mfg. Rolls out Redesigned Website

    Goshen, Ind.-based Dutchmen Manufacturing Inc. announced the launch of a newly designed innovative website at Dutchmen.com.
    “The focus on the redesign of the site was to keep it clean and simple,” said Troy James, vice president of sales for Dutchmen. “Consumers desire a web experience that’s intuitive and a site that’s easy to navigate. We think our new website is all of that and more.”
    The new site design was driven internally by Dutchmen’s sales and marketing department, with the intent to provide dealers with the latest in marketing tools and support to help further propel the Dutchmen product line sales. The “responsive design” functionality enables it to work on any device, from desktop computers and tablets to smart phones.
    “We wanted to make everything the consumer needed just a click or two away within the new site,” stated James. The “Build Your Own” feature, “Find A Dealer”, “Customer Service,” and a brochure download link are all available on the homepage. And while ease of use was important to the Dutchmen team, selling the RV lifestyle was just as important.
    “We’ve been building RVs for 27 years and have seen literally tens of thousands of people enjoy the benefits that our products bring to families,” James said. “By using great lifestyle shots and a rolling view of our product breadth, our intent was to make a direct connection between families and individuals enjoying the outdoors and our products which have helped enable that experience all of these years. We believe we’ve accomplished that with our new site, and we’re really looking forward to the response of our dealers and RV customers.”
