Middlebury, Ind. – EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC. announced that their Ever-Lite travel trailers were rated a “Best Buy” by Consumers Digest. The recommendation appears in the publication’s June 2012 issue and online at www.consumersdigest.com. The publication is highly respected as a valuable resource for information on buying a variety of products. 2012 marks 50 years of helping consumers “identify exceptional values in a complex and confusing marketplace.”

“It is an incredible honor for us to be recognized as a ‘Best Buy’ by a publication as widely read and respected as Consumers Digest,” said EverGreen CEO Michael Schoeffler. “This recognition by a major consumer publication further validates our mission of making the most lightweight, durable, and green travel trailers and fifth wheels on the market.”

According to Consumers Digest, a Best Buy is a product that delivers exceptional value for a given amount of money and merits special attention from consumers based, in general, on its combination of eight criteria: performance, ease of use, features, quality of construction, warranty, efficiency, styling, and maintenance and service requirements. Best Buys in travel trailers, specifically, were selected based on quality of construction, features, use of space, durability and ease of towing.

EverGreen’s unique use of durable, longer lasting, lightweight composite combined with vacuum lamination processes are featured prominently in the four-page review of the “Best Buys” for 2012 RVs in the June issue. Referring to the positive aspects of the RV industry coming out of tough economic times, Consumers Digest cited EverGreen’s innovative use of composite materials as key: “One of the newest manufacturers (EverGreen) introduced lightweight fifth wheels and travel trailers that have shells and other components that are made out of composite materials.” Consumers Digest also did its research on EverGreen’s Ever-Lite products through interviews with experts and dealers in the field. “Independent composite material experts and RV service center experts whom we interviewed say EverGreen’s claims hold, er…repel water,” states Consumers Digest.

Dealers agreed with the service experts on the value of purchasing an RV built with composites. “Unchecked water damage can destroy a new trailer in a matter of months,” said Jim Jussila of I-5 Uhlmann RV in Chehalis, Wash., who sells EverGreen and was also interviewed for the Consumers Digest article. “An all-composite trailer has the potential to outlast a conventional trailer by decades.”

Have you ever had a dream? Did you try your hardest to make it come true?

Tony and Nick Staab, brothers and owners of Rich & Sons RV Headquarters, have done just that. While having an indoor showroom at their dealership was always a dream, only recently were they able to turn that dream into reality. On March 22, a ribbon-cutting marked the grand opening of Rich & Sons’ new indoor showroom, complete with numerous daily seminars to demonstrate proper maintenance of RVs, accessorizing, and how to make the most of camping experiences.

Tony and Nick have been planning for years. They made a pact with their grandfather, Rich Hiser, who started the business, that they would one day offer customers the best showroom around. The new indoor showroom, located at 5112 S. Antelope Drive in Nebraska, is approximately 11,500 square feet and can hold an average of 18 units. The showroom allows units to be set up and showcased as they would look at an actual campground. Additionally, the new area allows units to be housed in a covered area in case of unexpected weather. Special heating and air conditioning units, along with indoor lighting, skylights, and other amenities, make this showroom a real dream come true.

Rich & Sons has been in operation for nearly 40 years, offering customers a huge selection of RVs along with excellent parts and customer service departments. According to Tony and Nick, “When you think of an RV dealership that has it all, we want you to think Rich & Sons.”

Thanks to Rich & Sons for all of your hard work, and congratulations on the grand opening of your new showroom! To view RVs for sale, click here.

“The Palazzo, like the A.C.E., is a game changer creating a new segment in the market – attracting many buyers who thought a full featured rear diesel coach was out of reach. While talking with new potential Palazzo owners at the show, it was clear the market has been waiting for this coach,” stated Adam Gudger, National Sales Manager for the Thor Motor Coach Diesel Division.
