Ember Recreational Vehicles Launches Touring Edition Line

Ember RV Touring Edition

Bristol, Ind.-based Ember Recreational Vehicles unveiled its new luxury light-weight laminated travel trailer product line, Touring Edition, to visiting dealers today (Sept. 26) during the opening day of the 2022 Elkhart RV Open House.

“When we set out to create the Touring Edition, not only were we listening to what customers were asking for, but we again put an emphasis on building with higher-quality materials, better components and designing a camping-correct RV — which is what our customers deserve,” said Chris Barth, Ember’s founder/COO and head of product development in a release. “Our team didn’t shy away from one-upping the competition, challenging the status quo, or making a mark on the segment we’re entering. Touring Edition once again proves what hard work, determination and innovation can do.” 

The Touring Edition features 10 floorplans in lengths from 26 to 34 feet, with a mix of both family friendly bunkhouses and options for couples. Built on a specialty drop-frame chassis featuring more than 40 cubic feet of front pass-through storage, the Touring Edition features Ember’s exclusive Versa Coupler hitching system and rides on Dexter torsion axles with 16-inch Goodyear Endurance LRE tires with standard TPMS.

Well-equipped for families large and small for all their short weekend trips and longer-haul vacations, the Touring Edition follows the same “recipe for success” as the company’s Overland Series by using composite materials with no wood in the construction of the floor and exterior walls. Ember’s Evermor proprietary composite seamless floor eliminates the possibility of a damage due to rot, mold, or mildew, while its exterior walls feature fully composite laminated aluminum-framed construction featuring double-sided Azdel Onboard paneling. 

The Touring Edition also features the popular European-style caravan windows that the Ember Overland Series uses. These dual-pane acrylic windows with integrated shades and screens open wide, allowing for maximum ventilation and airflow. To further show off the style and function of the Euro Windows, Ember also included one of the Overland Series’ most popular features, the Stargazer Skylight, into every Touring Edition floorplan. 

Understanding the way today’s customers are choosing to use RVs off-grid, Ember equipped the Touring Edition line up with an XL freshwater tank holding up to 55 gallons — the largest in its class — with ample black and gray tanks as well. Each model also includes dual 200-Watt Go Power! solar panels (400-Watt total), a 30 Amp MPPT solar controller and a 2000-Watt pure sine wave inverter allowing customers to go off-grid power after they add their own batteries. An optional 270Ah Battle Born LiFePO4 “Gamechanger” battery is available from the factory, so customers don’t need to be tied down to a traditional campground all the time. Additionally, each unit is easily controlled via Bluetooth® using Emberlink, Ember’s Smart RV control system. 

Additional features of the Touring Edition include a 12-volt DC refrigerator, microwave oven, three-burner cooktop, 21-inch oven with pots and pans drawer, seamless countertops, subway-tile backsplash, soft-close drawers and a large double-basin stainless steel sink. The bedroom features a walk-around 60-inch by 80-inch residential-sized queen bed with USB and 120-volt AC power access and LED lighting on each side. Touring Edition also comes complete with dual-ducted 15,000 BTU roof-mounted air conditioner and a 30,000 BTU furnace. 

Options on the Touring Edition include an industry-first safety feature, CUB’s dual-radar Lane Change Assist (LCA) System, providing visual assistance to the tow vehicle driver in making safer lane changes. Customers also have the option of adding an electric fireplace, a second ducted 15,000 BTU roof-mounted air conditioner, an outside griddle and a wireless side and rear observation camera system with monitor. 

“We’re proud and excited to introduce our newest addition to our product offerings with the Touring Edition” stated Ashley Bontrager, founder, CEO and president of Ember. “I think dealers and customers alike will find that Touring Edition is just another example of the team’s focus and how Ember has set out to do something different, always striving to find ways to do and be better.”
