Materials

You should also keep in mind that the greater the number of layers of insulating materials, the greater the thermal insulation you will obtain. In the case of Caravancol its structure is formed by an outer coating of aluminum composite panel, already insulating in itself and used in the cladding of facades of buildings to improve their energy efficiency, you will never see plastic used for this function, a layer of extruded polystyrene foam XPS high density of 30 mm, an inner aluminum plate that allows to control the temperature inside the cabin and a layer of natural bamboo wood on the roof or padded vinyl on the walls.

This powerful structure gives the Caravancol exceptional thermal insulation and a structural resistance far superior to that of any other material such as GRP, which is not very resistant to the torsions and vibrations to which a vehicle is subjected.

Why do all the major brands of caravans in their high-end vehicles use aluminum even though it is much more expensive than GRP?

There is only one answer: quality. It is true that building in GRP makes manufacturing costs much cheaper, but this is detrimental to the quality of the product.

If you had to choose between having an aluminum or plastic car, what would you decide? How many GRP windows have you seen compared to aluminum, when they are the main thermal barrier to the outside?

In addition in caravancol we use materials such as solid wood, high performance marine phenolic and stainless steel, many of the elements we use in the construction of our caravans are specific to professional and recreational boating, tested extensively in the most aggressive environments.
