MOTORHOME
CONSTRUCTION - MAIN
COMPONENTS
The following is a brief description of the
main components used in your motorhome.
More comprehensive descriptions can be
found in the equipment manufacturers
literature held in the Owner’s Information
Pack.
SOLID CONSTRUCTION BODY SHELL
Elddis Motorhome Bodies are constructed
from the highest quality materials. The fully
insulated floor is a constructed timber frame
with plywood internal floor and a GRP
underskin for added water resistance and
insulation laminated together for strength.
The walls comprise an insulated foam
sandwich having glass fibre reinforced plastic
(GRP) exterior surface and vinyl coated
plywood internal finish. Wooded framing is
positioned within the sandwich to add
strength. The latest technology is used to
produce the extremely well insulated and
robust, yet lightweight sections.
WINDOWS
Windows are all of a double glazed acrylic
construction and the door frames are
extruded aluminium.
INSULATION
Elddis motorhomes are built to grade 3
thermal insulation in accordance with
European Standard BSEN 1646 part 1. This
states that an average temperature
difference of at least 20ºC between inside
and outside temperatures should be
achieved when the outside temperature is
0ºC.
