LATEST EARTHBOUND NEWS
(opens in new window)

The pictures below show the interior of the Morrison model (see floorplans below.)  Roaming Times thinks this really is a well thought out floorplan with innovative features.  Many of our readers have told us about their problems with formaldehyde in a new RV; it really is good to see the use of low volatile organic compound construction materials in the Earthbound.

The first pictures of the Earthbound really do show a well thought-out interiors with specially chosen materials.  Among the main features is the light weight.  Earthbound says: "with the lightest weight, most full featured design in its class, Earthbound RV's technology now makes it possible for many mid-sized SUV's to tow true, family-friendly RV's.  Did you know that an 8% fuel savings could be achieved for every 1,000 pounds removed from a tow-able RV?"

With regards to quality, Earthbound says: "Most U.S. consumers are plagued by low final assembly quality and poor material content from RV manufacturer’s old school of design and basic construction methods, which in turn, has impacted the consumers overall view of the RV industry’s quality standards and impacted the Customer Satisfaction Index.  By utilizing state of the art equipment, space-age materials, full pre-delivery inspections and a production management team that features a vested ownership in the company, a new standard of quality will evolve at Earthbound RV."  Impressive.  And beautiful too:

      Just a couple of final points from Earthbound:

  • Earthbound RV's construction is backed up by a groundbreaking, 3-year, limited, bumper-to-hitch warranty
  • A name you can trust. Earthbound RV is truly the "original innovator" to the RV industry. Although Earthbound RV is a new name to most, the icons at the helm of Earthbound have brought you industry changing names like Dutchmen, Hart Housing, Fourwinds and Pilgrim International.

ShirleyI like the look and feel of the RV, but I now pull a 21 ft., 1998 Nash fifth wheel and love it! It fits 2 people and a dog. If you made a small 5th wheel - we would DEFINITELY be interested in your product -- Thanks for trying to make an environmentally friendly RV.
GarhamIt's about time. I'm in the market for the first time and I all I see is overweight junk with Cougars airbrushed on the side of it. Ok, slight exaggeration, but you have to admit, the RV industry is not innovating very fast. This is a nice addition. I hope they make something just a little bit smaller.
Fuzzy9Earthbound appears to be filling a giant gap in the towable market -- one of quality. Although the "green" factors are nice angle, I don't think that's their biggest selling point. (Those who want to camp "green" buy a tent.) Most travel trailer buyers today are stuck choosing from a huge variety of mediocre-quality towables that end up being amazingly similar in both look and price, because manufacturers think it's only about offering a low pricepoint -- hence the silly industry practice of offering equipment as "optional" that should be "standard" on most trailers. It's not just about price. Earthbound appears to have cut few corners here, has boldly introduced an entirely new head-turning appearance that will be the talk of every campground, and will surely be priced accordingly. (My guess is somewhere in the current abyss between the Airstream brand and everything else out there.) I, like many others, am willing to pay for quality. Earthbound will likely be my next trailer purchase when I finally give up on constantly repairing my present 2004 travel trailer due to its poor build quality and cheap materials -- likely by next year.
akasurfI just love this Earthbound Trailer! It is about time that someone built an RV like they build boats and aircraft interiors! Most RV have become works of junk, rather than works of art. I think Earthbound as hit the nail on the head with this one!
CarrieI like the idea of an RV that's looked at environmental factors. My concern is the formaldehyde and chemical odors in RV's. Everybody knows they make people sick and we've known for a long time that there are materials that can be substituted, but maybe they cost more. It looks as if manufacturers are starting to take notice.
