With the success of the Toyota Prius and other hybrid vehicles, businesses have discovered that ecologically-friendly products are gaining favor with consumers.
The Durango Herald Online reports on efforts to make RV travel “greener” and energy efficient.
According to the story, effort range from Coachmen RV testing biofuel-powered models to redesigned version of the Volkswagen created by a Canadian designer.
It’s not just RV designers thinking about the environment. The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association reports that 71 percent of RVers recycle while on the road.

I saw and wrote about this article too. (http://rvhometown.typepad.com/rv_home_yet/2007/12/green-rving—a.html) It’s great to see companies moving towards alternative fuels and more “green” materials.
For RVers, it’s a matter of mindset, in my opinion. RVers can lessen their impact on the environment. Many of us have solar panels and catalytic heaters for our RVs. We’d rather experience an area than put on hundreds or thousands of miles a year so we use less fuel than those still in stick houses and commuting. And, of course, there’s the Navy shower!
