Ashland, Ky. —EverGreen Recreational Vehicles announced that the first of its Ever-Lite travel trailers was delivered to Summit RV of Ashland.

President of EverGreen, Doug Lantz and the company’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Kevin Slater, traveled to Summit RV from their Middlebury, Ind. manufacturing headquarters, to present a special award signifying the first true eco-friendly recreational vehicle in the field on April 16, 2009.

The start-up EverGreen Recreation Vehicles is just 90 days old and has already introduced the eco-friendly Ever-Lite travel trailers. The trailers are the first all composite-construction, lightweight, formaldehyde-free, recyclable travel trailers produced. Summit RV received the first EverGreen Ever-Lite travel trailer one week ago.

“We’re really excited about Ever-Lite campers for several reasons. We like the idea of selling green and taking care of the environment,” says James Bradley, president of Summit RV. “We’re also excited that the trailer is so lightweight it can be towed by a variety of vehicles. The concept of doing away with wood and eliminating any concerns of rot or decay and a longer lasting, more durable trailer is another benefit that drew us to this product.”
