Airxcel Last Week Showed Innovative RV Exterior Solutions – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
WICHITA, Kan. – Airxcel’s 2024 OEM New Product Showcase featured a suite of products to care for the specific needs of RV exteriors, according to a company release.
Anthony Wollschlager, president and CEO of Airxcel, shared “Our family of brands offers products for every part of the RV, inside and out. In the last couple of years, we’ve added Velarium awnings and Suburban steps and reformulated our popular Dicor 502 self-leveling lap sealant. We’ve also introduced a line of baggage doors and frameless windows from Cleer Vision. All of these products ensure that the RV’s exterior can withstand the elements and provide style and comfort for the user.”
Cleer Vision Doors showcased a compartment door with single-handed accessibility that has three points of contact for a tight seal and user-friendly design. Made of composite material from Vixen Composites that can be tinted to match exteriors, these doors are sized to meet OEM specifications with many size and latch options available.
Cleer Vision Windows exhibited its Cleer View Frameless Window System with the Vista Trim Collection, an all-in-one solution that completes the exterior and interior finish of a vehicle. It boasts the market’s largest unobstructed, opening window, enhanced by a single-point operation that doesn’t intrude into the coach. The innovative Vista Trim Collection offers customizable color match and wood grain options, and it is available and adaptable to all current Cleer View Frameless Windows and all Cleer Vision windows produced prior. Additionally, the system includes standard roller shades and screens, providing a modern alternative to traditional pleated shades.
Dicor Products has reformulated its popular 502 self-leveling lap sealant, which is designed to deliver faster results and enhanced performance. For sealing around roof fixtures, vents, or edges, Dicor’s newly developed formula ensures superior protection while reducing curing time. Compatible with a wide range of RV roof materials, Dicor’s 502 self-leveling lap sealant is suitable for use with rubber, fiberglass, TPO, PVC and other common RV roof substrates.
Suburban has redesigned its step offerings featuring a new light weight composite stair tread as well as 3- and 4-step options with hydraulic lift assist. The composite steps are available in wide and narrow configurations for 2-, 3- and 4-step sizes. The composite treads are resistant to surface scratches and other blemishes. The top surface has molded-in texture that eliminates the need for grip tape.
Velarium showcased a variety of awnings and awning accessories. Velarium’s Awning Roller Assembly Light Rail offers a more streamlined installation process by housing the canopy, LED lighting, and a channel to attach to the RV’s awning rail all in one easy-to-handle unit. Velarium’s Awning Cradle gives additional support to 20-foot and larger awnings, featuring a robust black powder-coated aluminum construction. Velarium’s aluminum awning wrap offers hardy protection for RV awnings by securely housing them when retracted against the RV, offering improved protection from external damage and severe weather. Velarium also debuted two new lighting options: a waterproof COB LED Strip Light, which significantly enhances external RV lighting while minimizing glare, and a LED RGB Strip Light, featuring a convenient wire lead and RF remote with a maximum brightness of 1800 lumens, depending on the color. For the Class B market, Velarium exhibited its lateral arm box awning designed for units without the head clearance required for vertical arm awnings.
