Middlebury, Ind.-based EverGreen Recreational Vehicles LLC has launched a new toyhauler travel trailer with its 2014 Amped series.
According to a press release, five new Amped floorplans ranging from 22 to 32 feet feature EverGreen’s exclusive Z-Frame Technology that results in a step-up forward bedroom to allow under-floor storage found only in large fifth-wheels. In addition to basement storage up front, the innovative frame on the new Amped toyhauler is set above the axles eliminating cumbersome wheel wells inside the payload area. This allows increased, wall-to-wall loading space for ATVs, side-by-sides and motorcycles without awkward wheel wells.
The new Amped toyhauler also features a standard eight-foot beavertail ramp, 3,000-pound capacity ramp door and EverGreen’s exclusive impact-resistant, vacuum-laminated ComposiTek interior walls.
“EverGreen has established a tradition of producing game-changing recreational vehicles, value-packed with all the equipment our customers request, and the new Amped toyhauler is just that,” said the company’s President and COO, Mark Boessler. “The Amped travel trailer is designed with higher clearance to handle the rough terrain motor sports demand, yet allows for more storage and equipment than any other toyhauler in its class.”
Features of Z-frame technology include:
• Z-Frame Technology allows for huge trunk space and pass-through basement storage. In addition, the raised bedroom has more storage under the queen-sized bed and in two large wardrobes with drawers. Large storage doors drop down for easy loading and close with slam latches. Z-Frame technology provides additional space for a standard 4,000-watt Onan generator and a lockable, large 4-battery capacity power compartment without compromising living space.
• The Amped is ramped with standard beavertail. The standard beavertail on all Amped trailers makes loading and off-loading easier. Amped also has a full, eight-foot, 3,000-pound capacity ramp. A built-in toolbox is flush to the floor on all models. The entire floor of Amped toy haulers is engineered with marine grade plywood. D-ring tie downs are bolted to the frame.
• By eliminating interior wheel wells, the frame allows for more loaded weight. The Amped Z-Frame Technology results in the floor system set over the axles eliminating cumbersome wheel wells inside the payload area. This allows more room side-to-side for easier loading and unloading.
• Setting the frame over the axles provides higher ground clearance off road. Standard Equa-Flex suspension provides added stability and can adjust to the terrain. Standard 16-inch tires help improve the ride.
• Amped toy hauler interior walls are built with a tough Composite Inner Shell vacuum laminated to the EverGreen’s signature DuraLite Double Welded Aluminum structure. Composites in the interior walls resist moisture, rot and mildew. Vacuum lamination and one-piece composite walls are stiffer and have a white, gel-coated exterior finish.
