  • Here is another fourm to check out. Much easier to navigate than the Yahoo group. http://www.evergreenforumz.com/index.php
  • If the unit is composite, there should be no plywood floor as mentioned above. Beauflor is the vinyl flooring + it's good quality. Definitely recommend the Everlite! We've enjoyed ours in signature. PM for any specifics.
  • I have an Evergreen Everlite. I agree with above-average quality for construction, fit, and finish. I can't comment on the warrantee since I bought mine used. Some unexpected nice touches include Dexter EZ Flex links, bead-balancing in tires, solar panel (but awfully small), spare tire holder.

    I've disassembled a lot of this camper to customize it to my liking plus fix a few dumb designs and have been somewhat pleased with the behind-the-scene construction features. It is built to a much higher standard than my previous campers. Of course, they also use composite panels, which are strong and light.

    Dumb stuff I found: 1. Outlet installed right in front of the sink, which means any cord is always in the way. I moved that and installed a tilt-out sink-front tray. 2. Inconvenient light switch to find when entering the camper. I installed one by the door and re-wired it.
    Additions that I felt were needed: 1. Outside LP connector near the front of the camper. I added one near the back. 2. Added 12v and 5v USB plugs for charging electronic devices. 3. Replaced incandescent bulbs with LEDs in range hood, refer, bathroom, storage areas and reading lights. I guess they missed all of those when they said "LED lighting throughout."

    Like all campers with fiberglass front caps, I have heard that the front cap can fade with age. I keep mine waxed annually and so far, so good.
  • I know Evergreen owners have a Yahoo Group that is pretty active and probably can offer some good information
  • I checked the Evergreens at the RV show yesterday. I was very surprised at the level of plastic type smell in them.
  • We have an evergreen Amped 32GS...here are our thoughts...

    1) Build Quality - Above average for a mid line toy hauler
    2) Warranty Support - Average Had to call Evergreeen a few times to get things moving...but they appear to be coming thru...

    We do tow with a 3/4 ton truck and a Hensley Arrow....

    Wile a good bit heavier than yours, it is one solid unit....amazed at how solid the floor feels...10 inch I-Bean frame....marine grade plywood floor...very stiff roof...

    x2 and make sure you check the CCC sticker on the TT. Brochure says only 1060lbs. Could be an issue down the road.
