The camper composite production process
Infusing half of the shell mold.
It starts with a mold
The exterior finish is sprayed in the mold
A coat of chopped glass & resin is sprayed to create a water barrier
Fiberglass is cut & fit into the mold to start the structural layers
1” PET Core of varying densities is placed strategically to add strength & insulation
More fiberglass completes the structural makeup of the shell. The parts get bagged, vacuumed & resin injected next.
The result is a 1 1/8” thick shell with no mechanical fasteners
The two parts are aligned using the sacrificial flange
The seam is filled with a structural adhesive from the inside
The flange is removed & both the inside & outside seams are covered with fiberglass & resin
The seam is gel-coated, sanded & polished to match the rest of the shell
No mechanical fasteners = beautiful lines & structural integrity
The interior is made up of several vacuum infused flat panels that are 1/2” thick
The panels are cut & fit into the shell
The beautiful lines on the outside are mimicked flawlessly on the inside
Once all the panels are fit, they are bonded to the shell with structural adhesive
It’s a lifestyle that consumes us
Beautiful things made in old places one at a time by hand
