Building on the increasing popularity of Class B vans and smaller RVs, Airxcel featured products from its brands that are designed for Class B vehicles at this year’s 2024 OEM New Product Showcase.
Anthony Wollschlager, president and CEO of Airxcel, said, “The Class B market is continuing to be a popular segment, particularly for new RV owners. We want our customers to have those same comforts of home while they’re out on the road.”
Coleman-Mach offered its 48-volt Rooftop AC unit, which is designed for Class B vans or compact travel trailers. The unit features a three-speed adjustable fan speed as well as a quiet mode for nighttime use. The low-profile ceiling assembly allows for spacious overhead comfort.
InVision debuted its 3.1-cubic-foot, 12-volt refrigerator with 0.37-cubic-foot freezer. Designed for modern van life, it offers a cooling solution for Class B vans and small RVs. With five customizable temperature settings, a quiet night mode and a boost mode for quick cooling, it’s an ideal addition to any mobile home, Airxcel said. The unit’s design gives a sleek, integrated look for Class B van interiors.
Velarium announced a new 12-volt electric RV lateral arm box awning. It is designed for sun protection, user-friendliness and durability. The awning features a lightweight case made from black powder-coated aluminum that shields the awning from the elements when retracted providing lasting protection and a contemporary appearance. Velarium offers three tiers of upgrades for box awning: Tier 1 includes LED lighting; Tier 2 features a wind sensor that automatically retracts the awning in strong winds to prevent damage with access to an online app for control on the go; and Tier 3 encompasses LED lighting, wind sensor and app control. Ideal for the Class B market or on units without the head clearance required for a vertical arm awning.
Vixen Composites announced its new Vixenite PET Foam Core Composite Panel — a lightweight, durable and moisture-resistant solution for Class B van sub-floors. This high-performance composite panel is designed to replace traditional wood substrates, offering superior strength and longevity in RV applications, Airxcel said. The panel is engineered with a PET foam core sandwiched between multidirectional fiberglass mats and surface veil, all bonded with a premium thermoset plastic resin. Its one-piece construction can be precisely routed and cut, allowing for a seamless drop-in installation, eliminating the need for additional trimming or adjustments.
