<\/a>Credit: RV Value Mart<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n We\u2019ll start with one rig that has received that \u201cCertified Green\u201d badge: the Coachmen Adrenaline<\/a> travel trailer. There are several Coachmen rigs that have earned this TRA Certification, and the Adrenaline is one that has the \u201cgold level\u201d certification, which is the second-highest honor offered. The Adrenaline received incredibly high marks in the category that assesses the construction materials used and whether or not the manufacturer recycles and minimizes waste in the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n It also earned points for water efficiency such as low flow water fixtures, and fairly high marks for the categories that asses energy efficiency and air quality, including the use of low-VOC materials in construction. It\u2019s a great choice if you\u2019re looking for a larger travel trailer that\u2019s not harsh on the environment.<\/p>\n Credit: TravelCamp of Orange Park<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n If you\u2019re on the market for a toy hauler but still want to find something eco-friendly, the Forest River Work and Play<\/a> is the way to go. It\u2019s also Gold Level Certified Green by TRA Certification thanks to features like LED lights and standard awnings that help you control the temperature inside your rig. There\u2019s also an optional package that goes beyond just solar prep: the LT option will give you a Jaboni 265W solar panel installed before you buy.<\/p>\n Credit: Gauthiers’ RV Center<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Another way to find a rig that\u2019s environmentally friendly is to choose one that\u2019s lightweight so you can pull it with a smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicle and use less gas to do so. That\u2019s where the Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro<\/a> comes in. It comes standard with 100W roof solar panels and 1000W inverters and a Showermiser water conservation system so that you save on power and water.

Most of their efforts have focused around making their manufacturing process more sustainable: reducing fresh water and energy use at their manufacturing facilites, working to become landfill-free, and using more sustainable packaging and materials. They\u2019ve also made a conscious effort to reduce product weight so RVers have better fuel economy, and the Jayco Jay Flight SLX 7<\/a> is one of the RVs in their Green Lineup. It weighs under 3500 lbs., features LED lighting throughout and offers a solar power package that comes with a 100W solar panel and a 30 amp controller.<\/p>\n Airstream<\/a><\/p>\n Credit: Southaven RV and Marine<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n From the start, Airstream<\/a> has been all about sustainability. After all, nearly 70% of all Airstreams ever manufactured are still on the road today! Even the famous rounded, low profile design is made for fuel conservation – its aerodynamics give it a 20% advantage in towing efficiency over standard shaped trailers. Airstreams entire line of travel trailers is Certified Green by TRA Certification, receiving the Emerald level designation, the highest certification offered. You can be confident when you purchase this iconic silver RV that you\u2019re going green.<\/p>\n TAXA Mantis<\/a><\/p>\n Credit: taxaoutdoors.com<\/p><\/div>\n If you\u2019re looking to go all-out in the eco-friendly category, the first manufacturer you should look into is TAXA. Designed by a former NASA employee, every single unit in their product line is built with environmentally conscious measures in mind. The TAXA Mantis<\/a> is the largest of TAXA\u2019s offerings, but it\u2019s just as sustainable as the smaller options. It\u2019s all in the construction at TAXA: it\u2019s made with a recyclable foam core, no formaldehyde and even sustainable birch wood cabinetry. TAXA bills themselves as \u201cadventure equipment that you sleep in\u201d and their goal is to get you as close to nature as possible.<\/p>\n The options for the environmentally conscious RVers are only growing every year.

It only makes sense that there are many RVers who want to find ways to be a little bit more kind to the planet while soaking in all nature has to offer. Choosing an RV for your travels is a great way to start: one study from PFK Consulting says families who take RV vacations generate less carbon dioxide than families who travel by plane, rent cars and stay in hotels. Choosing an eco-friendly rig can shrink that carbon footprint even more.<\/p> RV manufacturers are catching on to the trend of going green and making their rigs more sustainable and fuel efficient with features like solar power and lightweight construction. One company has even created a certification for eco-friendly RVs called \u201cCertified Green\u201d by TRA Certification that assesses an RV\u2019s resource efficiency, energy efficiency, water efficiency and indoor air quality. There are plenty of environmentally friendly RVs on the market, some with this certification and some that stand on their own, and we\u2019ve rounded up a few of the best so that you can choose a rig that is kind to the planet we all love to explore.<\/p> We\u2019ll start with one rig that has received that \u201cCertified Green\u201d badge: the Coachmen Adrenaline<\/a> travel trailer.
