Ember Recreational Vehicles Introduces Affordable E-Series – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
BRISTOL, Ind. – Today, Ember Recreational Vehicles introduced the new E-Series, a lightweight, laminated, price-conscious travel trailer, the first day of its annual New Product Expo held for dealers and prospects in its campground on campus.
“We are extremely excited to introduce the E-Series. 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,” stated Ashley Bontrager, Founder and CEO of Ember. “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 premium Congoleum® Diamodflor® 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 a best-in-class 82-inch interior height. 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 12V tank heaters on each tank, providing owners extended camping season opportunities.
The interior includes the largest single A/C in its class, the 18,000 BTU Furrion Chill® Cube variable-speed air conditioner that is whisper quiet, highly efficient, and includes a remote control for easy operation. Each floor plan features a residential Queen bed (60-inch by 80-inch instead of a smaller “RV Queen”) with strutted underbed storage and bedside cubies powered by USB-A, USB-C, and 120V outlets.
Owners will be pleased with the well-appointed kitchen featuring a 10 Cu. Ft. 12V refrigerator, stainless steel sink with pull-out sprayer, convection microwave with air fryer, and space-saving two burner cooktop. The interior is finished off with decorative backsplash, hardwood-framed cabinets with hidden hinges and soft-close hardwood drawers for a residential finish. And all of this is backed by Ember’s “Easy as 1-2-3!” warranty.
The first floorplan making its debut for the E-Series is the 22ETS including Ember’s modular, patent-pending EmberTrack™ repositionable bunk system. The EmberTrack system comes with two double-over-double bunk bed or shelving platforms that can hold up to 600 pounds or 300 pounds each in a single configuration. All of this can be reconfigured using standardized E-track to fit the owner’s needs and travel style.
“We debuted this modular bunk system last year after reading through hundreds of consumer comments on a viral video,” Chris Barth, Founder and COO of Ember said. “We challenged our engineering team to design a versatile and modular bunk system so owners could make it into almost anything they want – bunks, mobile office, extra storage shelving, pantry, or even an open locker to haul cargo – allowing reconfiguration of their RV setup for each trip or use. Many of our customers have done their own mods and customizations, utilizing the traditional bunk space in brand new ways. We’re excited to bring this unique and Ember-exclusive feature into the E-Series,” concluded Barth.
The spacious kitchen in the 22ETS also includes a raised breakfast buffet with two barstools, a dedicated coffee hutch with extra storage cabinets, hidden storage behind the swivel-arm HDTV, and Ember’s thoughtful legless dinette with storage under the seats. The large bathroom features an LED backlit medicine cabinet, porcelain foot-flush toilet, built-in nightlight, tankless water heater controls, and a 30-inch by 36-inch shower with decorative surround and skylight.
“The design and production teams did a great job of accommodating all the essential features our customers deserve and the quality level they expect while staying budget conscious. We frequently say price is only an issue in the absence of value. E-Series delivers high value without compromising essential needs. I’m extremely proud of what our team accomplished and excited to introduce this new series to the RV marketplace,” commented Bontrager.
Ember’s Dealer Expo will run through Friday, September 29, for invited guests. Ember has several other new floorplans and innovations in their Overland Series and Touring Edition product lines on display as well. Interested prospective dealer partners are asked to email [email protected] to set up time to visit the display. For more information on the E-Series, visit “Stories” on www.emberrv.com.
