Coachmen Industries and Atlas Trailer Coach Products have both released some green PR this week.
Coachmen Industries is working with Natural Source Energy Systems to develop RVs that use biodiesel and solar power.
Coachmen is providing NSESI with a Sportscoach Class A diesel pusher, a Coachmen Class C diesel motorhome and a Coachmen fifth wheel trailer. NSESI will adapt the Coachmen units to incorporate solar panels.
“We believe that our builders, dealers and customers will respond very positively to this initiative,” said Rick Lavers, chief executive officer of Coachmen Industries. “All of our products consume energy in their operation. It makes sense to be on the cutting edge of developments to reduce their cost of operation and emissions through alternative energy sources and renewable energy.”
Atlas Trailer Coach Products, Canada’s top RV distributor, announced that it has extended an agreement with ICP Solar Technologies.
Atlas will carry ICP’s Sunsei line of portable solar chargers, which are designed to extend battery life and help to replace daily power consumption of 12V lighting systems and appliances.

Thanks for the post on RV’s. I wanted to include a resource here that your readers may find useful. It’s the RV Comparison Guide . Check it out. They are a consumer based company that rates RV manufacturers and compares each manufacturer regarding customer satisfaction, quality of construction and resale value.
