Despite the increasing attention in the alternative-fuel automobiles, there is still the challenge of reinventing the motorhome. Their ultimate objective becomes that of converting the usual body-wide gas holder into a more fuel-efficient gas holder.
A Call For Environmental Awareness
Good thing there is an increasing demand among the contemporary RV-owners and RV-users for an awareness in terms of promoting ecological issues. So many modern-day users of recreational vehicles are now into using their motorhomes as vehicles that would promote environmental awareness while they travel to different places.
Using Biodiesel Or Vegetable Oil As RV Fuel
There are even RV enthusiasts who are into the promotion of renewable otherwise known as the rechargeable batteries in the vehicle BioTrekker. Biotrekker is actually fueled by biodiesel, a fuel that is produced from vegetable oil. And did you know you have to store or collect second-hand vegetable oil in a barrel of 50-gallons to travel the distance of a journey you desire? In fact, so many regular RV owners and users are now talking about conserving the environment as well as the natural resources. The trend nowadays is geared towards powering people’s vehicles with biodiesel, or the fuel produced from vegetable oil.
A Call To Use Natural Energy
While others are into the regular use of biodiesel or vegetable oil to fuel up their recreational vehicles, there are also those who are advocating the use of solar energy in their motorhomes or recreational vehicles. This is where they use a process wherein rainwater is harvested and captured in a basin and is used as a solar-powered water as well as the use of various electrical systems, a composting lavatory, cast-off denim insulation, LED illumination and bamboo interior s.
But still, the alternative-fuel RV vehicles still have to tap its niche market especially now that the motorhome or recreational vehicle industry is getting on towards various examples of fuel-economy as well as environmental designs. As a matter of fact, there have been studies conducted to show that there are about 18% of recreational vehicle users and owners already in use of the solar panels. And that more and more consumers are starting to ask about environmental essentials. Even the flooring of these luxury recreational vehicles are now getting their dose of attention. Most of the RV users now are shifting their vinyl interiors into the material hardwood.
And now that more and more people are taking the lead to having or developing a much more environmental-friendly recreational vehicle, there are high hopes from the RV industry; particularly the regular recreational users or motorhome owners that there will be further designs and proposals to develop and innovate other supplemental fuel alternatives. These additional fuel-alternatives which include the most recent development of the prototype camper are hoped to be extremely environment-friendly so as to protect our Planet.
These may include a diesel fusion engine as well as the commonly used solar panels which a worldwide positioning system restricts to capture the utmost quantity of sunlight. See how complicated being environmental can be? Nevertheless, do your share to help save the Earth!
