Debut at Bates RV in the Tampa and Venice, FL Areas
Industry Leading Ever-Lite™ Travel Trailers and Fifth Wheels with All Composite Construction are Lightweight, Virtually Free of VOC Out-Gassing, Recyclable and Embody the Environmentally Responsible Future of the RV Industry
Dover, FL. —EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC. is pleased to announce Bates RV has added Ever-Lite™ travel trailers and fifth wheels to its line of recreational vehicles at its Tampa and Venice, FL locations.
“Bates RV is excited to introduce the EverGreen Ever-Lite™ travel trailers and fifth wheels to the Florida area with its upcoming Earth Day Camping Event, April 22-25,” stated Frank Bates, owner of Bates RV. “The EverGreen travel trailers and fifth wheels hit all the hot points for RV owners in Florida. They love that they are virtually formaldehyde-free, have no wood to rot or mold, are lightweight and customers can now get the quality they deserve at a much lower cost with an EverGreen RV, ” Bates concluded.
Setting the standard for sustainability in the RV manufacturing world, EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, L.L.C. is the first RV company in history to achieve the TRA Certification Emerald rating for its eco-friendly Ever-Lite™ travel trailers and fifth wheels. EverGreen is redefining the industry with its fully recyclable ComposiTek™ construction. ComposiTek™ makes Ever-Lite™ trailers 20 percent or 1,000 to 1,200 pounds lighter than ordinary RVs—without sacrificing essential equipment and luxury like other brands. Standard features include a power awning, large queen sized pillow-top mattress made from recycled material, high output power fan in the bedroom, convection/microwave oven and a black tank flush not available on other ultra-light products.
The innovative ComposiTek™ construction in the floors, walls and roof systems of Ever-Lite™ RVs drastically reduces VOC out-gassing, including formaldehyde. It benefits the environment by eliminating 50 sheets of Lauan, a hardwood veneer made from old growth tropical rain forests, from each RV. With almost no wood in the box construction, Ever-Lite™ RVs are impervious to water and cannot rot, mold, mildew or dry rot, making Ever-Lite™ an RV designed to last a lifetime. To further help the environment, for every unit sold to the public, EverGreen plants a tree in the customer’s name.
“We are proud to partner with Bates RV. They have been successful in the RV business for 24 years and really understand how our innovation will change the industry,” said Kevin C. Slater, vice president of sales for EverGreen. “The knowledgeable staff and owners at Bates RV are true professionals. I know we will do very well together.”
