For anyone who wants to know, if you can make your own chassis or get a trailer mob to make it, a $75k + caravan can be home made for $30k using the same panels here, $30-35k will get you a nice 16-18 foot caravan

Hi there Ivan, thank you for your kind words! It was one heck of a build! Hope you've enjoyed the videos :) A company called styromax, they are located in Brisbane :)

@jedics1 2 жыл бұрын

I looked into using the styromax when I built my tiny house truck 2 years ago, it was going to add about 10 grand to my build cost so I just went with regular coolroom panels. I recently reversed into a tree and crushed a corner but should be able to fix it for about 100 bucks, I shudder to think how much a repair with the styro would end up being. Anyway Im here because I might do another build one day and given the budget I would try the styro mainly for its weight saving and superior insulation compared to steel lined foam panels...

@Eddie.h Жыл бұрын

Hey, where did you get the cool room panels? And how are you finding them, are they enough insulation by themselves?

@jedics1 Жыл бұрын

@@Eddie.h what do you mean by themselves? You still need a heating and cooling source whatever you choose, metal is not a good material to use but if you cant afford the extra 10 grand for styromax then they are the next best thing.

@markcarlile5209 3 жыл бұрын

You will need to use an adhesive to hold the blinds on and you will also need to put a sealant on the taillights as dust will ingress through the back and water will also unless sealed.

@JackCanDoIt 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Mark apparently no need for adhesive on these blinds. Unless you have had a bad experience with the exact set up? We will be sealing all lights when we have a moment, just didn't get around to it! Thanks for the message :)
