Built to aircraft standards, ELE features an onboard air purification system, water filtration system, gas-powered generator, and solar-power systems, enabling overlanders to explore fearlessly — and adds features normally reserved for armored vehicles and safe rooms to the brand’s already rugged line of off-road trailers.

The exterior structure of the ELE is shaped from double-walled, aerospace-grade aluminum sheeting and high-density foam insulation, including optional ballistics-rated Level 3 bullet-proofing. Engineers then added submarine-style pressure doors, creating interior living space capable of sustaining positive PSI. It’s this positive pressure that keeps harmful particles from entering the cabin.

The pressurized cabin can be completely purged and refilled with purified air in less than three minutes through an integrated, medical-grade E.L. Foust air filtration system, providing up to six months of purified air. The system is so sophisticated in fact that it’s capable of filtering out odors — something consumer-grade purification systems can’t. In addition to filtering the air supply, ELE can refill and filter its onboard 22-gallon water tank in just 10 minutes.

Best of all, given its amazing array of systems and build quality the Mammoth Overland ELE really isn’t overpriced; MSRPs start at $67,000. Okay, so bulletproofing will cost you an extra $25,000 — when the apocalypse is near, money won’t help you much. For more information, visit mammothoverland.com.

According to Lippert, Solera OG awnings install like a regular awning, but with Renogy’s proprietary thin-film solar technology they provide the extra benefit of up to 300 watts of solar power — without the labor, expense, additional weight and roof intrusion of installing conventional rigid panels. Renogy, a renewable energy company that specializes in solar solutions for off-grid living, is pioneering AIPV innovation. This first-generation retractable, shatterproof, laminated vinyl awning features power generation up to 300 watts in the extended position and 200 watts in the retracted, travel or stored positions.

Solera OG awnings are set for release this fall.

One of the “pain points” for anyone traveling by RV is the rising cost of an overnight stay at campgrounds along your route. Some campers have mitigated this by electing to purchase a lot at a favorite location — but these, too, are escalating in value.

How much depends upon the location and the amenities offered. But the ultra-exclusive environs of south Florida-based Yacht Haven Park & Marina just put up several of its prime rental resort lots for sale — with prices that start at a cool $729,000.

Aside from its desirable location near Fort Lauderdale, lot owners will be able to take advantage of the resort’s luxury amenities, including a heated pool with a tiki hut, children’s play area, dog park, four climate-controlled shower facilities, climate-controlled laundry facility, gym, kayak, paddleboard and pontoon boat rentals plus boat charters on a 55’ SeaRay Sundancer. Future plans include a state-of-the-art welcome center with a gated entry, a two-story state-of-the-art clubhouse with fitness center, men’s and women’s locker rooms, business center, indoor and outdoor dining, bar, rooftop lounge and new pool with hot tub and sundecks.

And yes, you can rent it out when you’re not using it. Nightly rates at the resort start at $155. For more information, visit yachthavenpark.com.

At 18 x 50 feet, the chamber can accommodate each RV model that Keystone manufactures, testing material and component performance in fully built products at temperatures ranging from -10°F to 110°F.

The chamber, said Jon Brock, Keystone’s director of research and development, will allow the company to evaluate new components and construction methods and perform repeatable tests of multiple systems in a fully controlled environment. This allows Keystone to evaluate things like overall insulation performance or heating and cooling power relative to ambient temperature. “You can’t understand the scope of a problem, or the success of your solution, unless you can measure both in real world conditions,” Brock said.

In 2022, Tony Flammia, NRVTA’s director of sales and marketing, Todd Henson, Director of Education and Lead Technical Instructor, and a film crew from NRVTA visited Jayco’s Middlebury, Indiana, campus where they filmed more than 70 walk-through style training videos focused on specific components and systems used in Highland Ridge and Starcraft RVs. These videos were paired with existing videos on exclusive systems (like TravelLINK, which is utilized on select models) to create a full curriculum housed in an online learning management system.

And, it’s offered free of charge to current or potential owners.
