The Benefits of a Fiberglass RV

- There are many factors to be considered when it comes to deciding which RV is right for you. The critical factor is construction materials and methods; this is the foundational component for your RV. One-piece fiberglass is the most durable, a wood panel composites are less durable, and aluminum is the most challenging to repair.

Put this video on your home page. It really highlights the reasons for a Fibreglass shell. 2x owner here! Best trailers on the market!
Excellent video. Thank you! Helped me to learn and to be able to explain (and show) the process to family & friends. Can't wait - my 21NE is due to be completed in May 2022!
Report back on first impressions etc.
We have a 17B, great trailer, very well made. It will outlast me. Another big advantage is that we were dealing directly with the manufacturer.
Absolutely fascinating! We LOVE our Escape!
What I especially like is the fiberglass layer right after the gel coat exterior ..the trailer industry used to use wood luan after the gel coat which always got wet and rotted ..then the walls de-laminated! it happened to me! ..it was a nightmare! It was unsafe not to mention unhealthy. Glad to see this smart common sense trailer build ..wish it was around years ago. The only thing I would suggest is a bit more insulation between the walls.
We appreciate your feedback! Our commitment to using fiberglass as a structural material ensures durability and longevity, avoiding issues like rotting. Regarding further insulation, we're always looking for ways to improve, and your suggestion is duly noted. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts with us!
We LOVE our FiberGlass Escape!! Thanks for the explanation of how and why.
Cool, thank you Karl, we're so exciting because we will have our 17B in june 2023 and we will have to do 4300 km to pick it up ! Keep your good quality construction even if we have to wait a few months more ! See you in 2023 !
Outstanding explanation! Thank you
Great video! You could also mention that yachts, ships and Kayaks are built with fiberglass.
Not most kayaks: molded plastic or now inflatable.
@@normcook9335 hate to disagree with you but the vast majority of sea kayaks ARE fiberglass. I should know I am a Guide! Yes many generic consumer kayaks are plastic, but this really is irrelevant to my point! I would even point out the vast majority of sailing and fishing ships are fiberglass/wood construction as well!
@@purplebrick Righto - I'm mostly kayaking in the smaller lakes with 10' Pelicans.
Fantastic video. Thank you for your time.
Great Video! I like seeing your workers safety working with fiberglass.
Great video Karl- Very interesting!
Thank You, Excellent video.
Great video! Thanks!!!
Hi, I realize there is less air infiltration which was a big problem with my last all (cabinets everything) aluminum trailer with Azdel insulated/siding panels, however what about r and u values with your camper? Phoenix summers... Thanks.
Are the floor solid fiberglass or plywood encased?
Hey there thanks for the question! Our entire exterior shell is Fiberglass and our subfloor inside the trailer is made from a premium plywood product. To mitigate condensation building up in the trailer we have many drain points around perimeter of our floor to allow any moisture from condensation to effectively drip into the pontoons which then drain to the outside of the fiberglass body. If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out!
How heavy is fiberglass when compared to AZDEL? They claim to be the best in terms of lightness and of durability. How does yours compare to another made with AZDEL? And, how heavy will this particular unit be once it’s finished?
Tough to answer precisely so this will be vague. It really depends on the exterior construction method. Azdel is a nice composite material usually bonded to something else.
You would need to look at the weight of the particular RV exteriors and compare.
Trailers can be made light with lighter materials throughout the entire exterior and interior construction. It's always a trade off between weight, cost, durability etc. Even fiberglass (not skinned only) trailers from different manufacturers vary in their structural philosophy, Escape employes a thin skin coupled with and interior structure which provides rigidity similar to a whale. A different philosophy would be to have a thicker construction that is structural in itself similar to an insect exoskeleton.
Hope this helps.

Why do you call it a one piece trailer when you obviously have two parts that are glued together, a top and a bottom. If it was a "Good" fiberglass build, they wouldn't be using shot fiberglass, since that is the heavy way to make fiberglass components. Hand laid or vacuum infused fiberglass, with the highest strength, lowest weight results.
They're already light enough and expensive enough, you just suggested raising the price in exchange for a few more pounds shaved off.
