FAQ

Yes we do

We try and get as close as we can. It can be difficult on newer Motorhomes and Caravans due to the product they use, which comes out of Europe; their white is difficult to replicate, although we can get very close, so the repair isn't noticeable

This depends on the severity of the crack, whether it is superficial or cracked right through the gelcoat and how many cracks are present

While the Luton peaks (which are the overhead canopy) and the rear of the Motorhome/Caravan are manufactured in Australia, the wall and roof skins are made from imported gelcoat, which is approximately 2mm thick and comes in rolled form, so it is not what you would call a traditional fibreglass finish.

It does have a directional fibre allowing it to be flexible, whereas traditional fibreglass has bi-directional or, in the case of CSM matting, random direction. Once applied with resin, it becomes very rigid when cured, unlike the gelcoat sheet used on walls, which is flexible

The most common places we have found for cracks are at the stress points where one component overlaps another, such as the rear bar if it wraps around onto the side walls. Another common area is the Luton peak, where it transitions over the wall bulkhead. Also, screw holes such as those used for clearance lights, another common area is where the roof joins the rear wall that small radius of around 300mm is a common point.

The biggest problem with motorhomes/Caravans is water penetration, which can have a domino effect, causing other issues like delamination and or a water-damaged floor or cabinetry

Yes, we can.. Unfortunately, fibreglass vans use a polyester gelcoat, which does not have UV-resistant properties, so over time, the sun affects the gelcoat, which then fades, turns chalky, and once this happens, it starts being porous, allowing dirt and moisture to affect it

We can cut and polish the van to try and restore the gloss level in the Gelcoat, although sometimes, if the van has not been looked after, it may be very difficult to restore the gelcoat finish

This entirely depends on the size of the vehicle and how neglected it has been,

Anything from 1 - 3 days, with the latter requiring serious attention

We can only quote on an individual basis due to a variety of reasons. The best way would be to contact us with your inquiry via this contact form, and we will be in touch

This is a common problem in motorhomes. The roof is left longer, which is then bent on a radius to meet the back wall. This small section of roofing is then under stress and begins developing cracks, which can lead to water ingress into the motorhome/caravan.

Simple here at Danima Pty Ltd, we will manufacture a new composite piece from epoxy, which is moulded to the required radius and fitted into position, and because the part is moulded, it is not under stress and won't crack.

Here at Campermade, we use a product called ProLightt, which is a waterproof board perfect for motorhomes, Caravans and Campervans

We are currently manufacturing modular cabinetry in the form of pullout and modular kitchen designs and flooring

Yes, we do, although we will laminate 6 mm board in thicknesses of 12 or 18mm for flooring. We do this because we then have a one-piece floor, practically any size you need

No, we don't at this stage. We can come to you and take templates from your camper and manufacture a floor to suit

Yes, we can install the new floor
