Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – RV Industry Going Green and Saving Green
The RV Industry as a whole has taken notice of the green movement. But it’s more than about being gentle on the earth; it’s about providing savings to consumers at a time when many are struggling financially. It’s also about creative new innovations that increase gas mileage, conserve water and electricity and make vacations closer to home more affordable.
Everyone needs a vacation, however some struggle with figuring out the best way to save money and still take their family on memorable vacations. RVing is a great way to go. Buying a trailer, or towable is one solution. In fact, 80% of RVs sold in the US are non-motorized according to GoRving.com. Lightweight models make trailers easy to tow behind mid-size vehicles or trucks. Used travel trailers can be had at great prices, making them economical and convenient. However, be sure to have the used RV or travel trailer checked out by an mechanic before purchasing so you can ensure you are finding a good investment.
GoRVing.org has done a great job of educating people about how to save money and has been a champion of the RV industry through the recession and beyond. They have compiled a list of ways the RV industry is going environmentally friendly, which is also creating financial savings. Below are just a few ways:
• Manufacturers are building motorhomes and travel trailers with all-composite and recycled materials. This is one way for manufacturers to save money on materials. Buyers can be satisfied knowing used RVs and travel trailers have been kept out of landfills and parts are being put to good use.
• Solar and hybrid systems now reduce generator use and noise. Solar systems can heat water for usage, run battery operated devices and more. Solar can power electricity. With solar panels going down in cost, they are a more affordable option for more and more buyers. Some people are even harnessing wind power to fuel their vehicles.
• LED light fixtures. Replacing just a few light bulbs can help the environment in the long run as well as your pocketbook. They last longer than regular light bulbs and consume less electricity.
• Energy Star appliances aren’t just for homes anymore. They are also for RVs. Ask your RV dealer for more information.
Other ways to help reduce costs on the road are keeping the RV at a steady speed on the highways instead of breaking and accelerating. Buy foods from a grocery store instead of eating out on the road. Not only will this save money, but also can bring families closer together by having everyone help cook the meal. Visit National Parks and Monuments. These areas are inexpensive for families to visit and provide great entertainment. And last but not least, check out places to explore close to home. The closer RV enthusiasts stay to home, the more they save on fuel costs and contribute to the local economy.
