RV Industry Going Green And Saving Green
The RV Industry has been employing green technologies for years. However, with a consumer driven market pushing for even more advances, the RV Industry has been unveiling more lightweight travel trailers, solar panels adapted for RVs and more. They are also tailoring new products to the more economically minded consumer who wants savings, quality and fun.
Lightweight travel trailers and non-motorized vehicles now make up 80% of RVs sold, reports GoRVing.org. They are now made of lighter weight materials and are more aerodynamically designed to reduce wind friction and in turn reduce gas costs. Another option for saving money while ‘recycling’ is to buy a used RV. The prices will be a lot lower than buying a new one. In order to make a good investment it’s important to have a trusted mechanic check out the trailer before you buy it.
GoRVing.org is a great resource for campers and RV enthusiasts alike. They have useful tips for choosing an RV, tips about camping, articles and more. They have been staunch supporters of the RV Industry over the past few years and along with RVIA.org has become one of the most trusted resources for RV enthusiasts. RVIA put together some of the latest green technologies being employed by the RV Industry:
* By using all-composite and recycled materials, manufacturers are keeping waste out of landfills and reusing materials for new designs. Buyers appreciate knowing they are helping the earth with their purchase.
* Solar and hybrid systems now reduce generator use and noise. Solar systems can heat water for usage, run battery operated devices and more. Solar can power electricity. With solar panels going down in cost, they are a more affordable option for more and more buyers. Some people are even harnessing wind power to fuel their vehicles.
* LED light fixtures. Replacing just a few light bulbs can help the environment in the long run as well as your pocketbook. They last longer than regular light bulbs and consume less electricity.
* Energy Star appliances aren’t just for homes anymore. They are also for RVs. Ask your RV dealer for more information.
Other ways to help reduce costs on the road are keeping the RV at a steady speed on the highways instead of breaking and accelerating. Buy foods from a grocery store instead of eating out on the road. Not only will this save money, but also can bring families closer together by having everyone help cook the meal. Visit National Parks and Monuments. These areas are inexpensive for families to visit and provide great entertainment. And last but not least, check out places to explore close to home. The closer RV enthusiasts stay to home, the more they save on fuel costs and contribute to the local economy.
