Genesis Products Inc., a leading manufacturer of RV interior components, announced it is proud to support the launch of the all-electric Coachmen RVEX with an ultra-lightweight interior, directly contributing to the model’s 270-mile electric range.
“Coachmen came to us with the primary goal of reducing weight in the unit. We turned to innovative materials like our exclusive G-Lite plywood and our G-Strong PET foam-core panels to achieve our goals,” said Kyle Rasler, Genesis engineering manager.
Genesis’s engineering expertise enabled a 45% weight reduction in cabinetry, saving over 290 pounds, through a combination of G-lite and LISOCORE, a material-efficient high-performance construction material with a patented structural design. The floors, ceilings and walls are 50% lighter than OSB or plywood thanks to the lightweight G-Strong panels, which also absorb zero moisture and doubles the R-value of its wood alternative.
“We couldn’t have done this without Genesis. They saw our vision and had not only the design and engineering capabilities, but also the drive to help bring it to fruition,” said Zach Eppers, general manager at Coachmen RV.
Genesis designed the interior with high-performance luxury vinyl featuring stone and woodgrain finishes and innovative new storage features, including two pull-out pantries. The result is a super lightweight, resilient interior that meets the demands of modern travelers and sets a new benchmark for the industry, Coachmen said.
