Earthbound Travel TrailersTrue innovators have the potential to change history. The pioneers behind Earthbound RV have done just that. In 1988, C. David Hoefer, a 30-year RV industry veteran, pioneered a travel trailer design that changed the course of the RV industry. Little did anyone know that his innovations behind Dutchmen RV (which started in a barn in the Indiana countryside) would turn Dutchmen into the #1 selling towable RV in just 4 short years. He also pioneered the 1st fully composite RV utilizing low V.O.C. emission construction materials with the help of Automotive Hall of Fame inductee Mary Wetzel, as well as Marc LaCounte, co-founders of Tek-Modo, the innovators behind Cosmo-Lite composite substrates.
Innovative, Lightweight, More Fuel-Efficient Designs
Our design team has been responsible for producing many of the RV industry's best selling layouts and aerodynamic, lightweight designs. Earthbound RV will continue that pursuit, only developing the industry's top selling floor plans in a lighter, more durable, more fuel efficient design than what was ever before attainable with other manufacturers' outdated materials and methods. It is estimated that a new 30 ft. Earthbound Travel Trailer can weigh as much as 1,500 pounds less than a conventionally designed RV!
The Objective
Earthbound RV's objective is the introduction and distribution of a new, eco-friendly, fuel-efficient travel trailer into the US and Canadian marketplace. The travel trailer will revolutionize the towable RV industry with innovations never before seen in recreational vehicles. Earthbound RV will utilize lighter, recyclable, low organic volatile compound materials in an easily towed, family friendly RV, with an original, aerodynamic, automotive inspired design.
Better Quality From The Start
Many U.S. consumers are plagued by low final assembly quality and poor material content from RV manufacturer's old school of design and basic construction methods, which in turn, has impacted the consumers' overall view of the RV industry's quality standards and impacted the Customer Satisfaction Index. By utilizing state of the art equipment, space-age materials, full pre-delivery inspections and a production management team that has a vested ownership in the company, a new standard of quality will evolve at Earthbound RV.
Longer Warranties
Typical warranties in the RV industry are lower than any other transportation based vehicle in existence. Most RV manufacturers offer only a twelve-month, limited "bumper to hitch" warranty, with some offering a two-year "structural" warranty. Because of the structural integrity and quality of materials utilized in each Earthbound RV, our RV's will feature a 3 year, limited** warranty. A warranty never before attained by other manufacturers. Most other manufacturers would not think of offering a warranty like this in fear of rot or mildew issues from water intrusion into the wood in their units. There is virtually no wood in an Earthbound RV structure, and our Composite roof, floor, and sidewalls are rot-proof!
The Earthbound Difference
1. Earthbound RV is working with state of the art technology and materials from some of the world's most respected scientists, who also supply icons like Boeing, GM, Ford and Chrysler. We believe Earthbound RV's original, aerodynamic, automotive inspired design will be the new standard for future RV design.
2. Lightest weight, most full featured design in its class. Earthbound RV's technology now makes it possible for many mid-sized SUV's to tow true, family-friendly RV's. Did you know that an 8% fuel savings could be achieved for every 1,000 pounds removed from a tow-able RV?
3. Earthbound RV utilizes earth-friendly, family-friendly, recyclable construction materials that are virtually V.O.C. (Volatile Organic Compound) free, so your carbon footprint stays small and your family can have peace of mind.
4. Earthbound RV's construction is backed up by a groundbreaking, 3-year, limited**, bumper-to-hitch warranty.
5. A name you can trust. Earthbound RV is truly the "original innovator" to the RV industry. Although Earthbound RV is a new name to most, the icons at the helm of Earthbound have brought you industry changing names like Dutchmen, Hart Housing, Fourwinds and Pilgrim International. We commit ourselves to the highest quality standards in all aspects of our business. We value each and every customer that joins the Earthbound RV family.
