Ember Recreational Vehicles has introduced the new E-Series, what it calls a lightweight-laminated, price-conscious travel trailer, on the first day of its annual new product expo held for dealers and prospects at its campground on campus in Bristol, Indiana.
“We are extremely excited to introduce the E-Series,” said Ashley Bontrager, founder and CEO. “The new lineup of travel trailers was specifically built to target a broader market based on a more affordable price segment, but without forgoing the better quality and design intentionality that Ember has become known for. From the beginning of this project, we knew we wanted it to be focused on the ‘essentials’ necessary to go camping in an RV and enjoy time in the great outdoors, which is how it got its ‘E-Series’ name. All the ‘essentials’ are included – and a few key luxury items too. This new line of lightweight travel trailers is perfect for those who are wanting a better RVing experience from a well-built Ember travel trailer, but with a smaller price tag.”
The E-Series will initially feature four floorplans, two family-friendly bunkhouse models and two coaches. Targeting couples and solo travelers, ranging from 26 feet to 32 feet. The E-Series rides on American-made Goodyear Endurance tires and Dexter axles with E-lube hubs and forward self-adjusting brakes on a frame featuring an integrated rear two-inch receiver that can hold up to 300 pounds.
Using plywood, Azdel, dense block foam, and aluminum-framing, E-Series is built on a laminated floor covered by Congoleum Diamond floor vinyl flooring for a carpetless, pet-friendly interior. The walls of the E-Series are built with an aluminum frame and Azdel Onboard and provide an 82-inch interior height, the company said. E-Series also features a fully walkable roof covered with durable Tufflex PVC backed by a lifetime warranty. The fully enclosed underbelly features forced-air heating, radiant barrier insulation and thermostatically controlled 12-volt tank heaters on each tank.
The interior includes what Ember said is the largest single A/C in its class, the 18,000-BTU Furrion Chill Cube variable-speed air conditioner; each floorplan features a residential Queen bed (60-inch by 80-inch instead of a smaller “RV Queen”) with strutted underbed storage and bedside cubies with outlets.
Ember’s Dealer Expo will run through Friday, Sept. 29, for invited guests.
