They have a fibreglass roof and rear hatch system which, unlike canvas, have great heat reflecting properties. The walls, floor and internal structures are made from marine glued, router cut plywood. Timber is a great product for camper construction due to its high strength, flexibility and light weight. The walls are cut from a single ply sheet thus eliminating joins and the need for internal alloy frames which can work-harden over time and crack; ply is not subject to this type of degradation.
