We are super proud of how our static caravan has come out, with timber cladding and foam insulation we not only love how it looks but it is noticeably warmer too.
Here is an in-depth video on how to clad a static caravan with timber and insulate it with 50mm foam insulation sheets.
We have transformed our off-grid caravan / offgrid home to look more natural in it's surroundings with feather edge board timber, the same principles will apply with any timber though and similar for any other types of cladding too.
This is a longer video on exactly how we tackled all the obstacles we came across when cladding and insulation the static.
