The Eterniti range has been built in the Goshen, Indiana in the USA, using the German-made BPW chassis, but the resulting tourer will still be road legal for towing in the UK.
Furthermore, Eterniti plan to move all production to the UK as soon as possible, in order to keep their costs down

Eterniti Caravans, with operations in Goshen, Ind., is set to launch a new line of towable RVs at the Oct. 16-21 NEC Motorhome and Caravan Show in Birmingham, England, according to a press release
He noted, “We began the prototyping process here at the Goshen location last year and quickly realized that to maintain the look, touch and feel of the European styling we needed to manufacture the final product in Europe. We still plan to produce for the United States and Canadian markets out of our Goshen facility, but haven’t set any dates for a product launch. Many have tried to produce and ship overseas to different markets and I’m sure have had some success, however our plan is to build specific to each market and become a well-known global brand.”
Last year, Phil Daniels, Managing Director of Pontefract, Yorkshire-based Eterniti Steels, partnered with US-based Eterniti RV to launch a new line of caravans in the United Kingdom. Known as “Eterniti Caravans” these Anglo-American travel trailers will be offered with an integrated slide out – a relatively new innovation for British built caravans – and four different floor plans plans (MSRP ranges from £21,995-£24,995). The Inos caravan – launched by Britain’s Denbighshire-based Fifth Wheel Company Ltd – also incorporates a two foot deep (3 square metre) slide out which is priced from £36,000.
