XCORE CONSTRUCTION

The most superior caravan construction material.

THE BENEFITS OF USING XCORE CONSTRUCTION

XCORE composite construction allows for greater design flexibility compared to traditional materials like aluminum or steel. We can create sleek, modern designs with smooth curves and contours, as well as integrate features such as large windows to enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the caravan.

LIGHTWEIGHT

XCORE construction allows for the creation of lightweight caravan shells without compromising on strength and durability.

This lightweight design makes the caravan easier to tow and maneuver.

STRENGTH & DURABILITY

Strength and durability: Despite being lightweight, XCORE composite materials are incredibly strong and durable. They can withstand the rigors of travel, including road vibrations, impacts, and exposure to harsh weather conditions, ensuring that the caravan remains in good condition for years to come.

INSULATION

XCORE composite materials offer excellent thermal insulation properties, helping to keep the interior of the caravan comfortable in both hot and cold weather conditions.

This can result in energy savings and improved comfort (like no more cold feet from the floor!).

RESISTANCE TO MOISTURE & CORROSION

XCORE composite materials are often resistant to moisture and corrosion, making them ideal for use in caravan construction. This helps to prevent issues such as rot, rust, and delamination, prolonging the lifespan of the caravan and reducing maintenance requirements.

DELIVERING YOU THE HIGHEST STANDARDS

What is XCORE Construction?

The XCore composite panel material that Kokoda Caravans use comprises of three high-quality layers that are FRP (Foam Reinforced Panels).

They are Insulated Composite Panels that are used for the Walls, Front, Rear, Roof & Floor.

The FRP composite we use is 400 kPa rated, which has a higher structural strength than most composites used by other manufacturers.

Our XCore composite panels have a super strength to weight ratio and are durable for the Australian Outback. This technology is one of the highest quality composite products around Australia.

Why we choose XCORE

Research & Development.

After much research and trialling of many types of construction forms, we found XCORE to be the most superior construction as it offers a compelling combination of lightweight design, strength, durability, insulation, and design flexibility.

Inside our XCORE composite panels we use XPS Foam, which is a closed cell foam and doesn’t allow water to soak. XPS foam also has superior thermal properties over open cell foams making it a far better insulator.

Unlike aluminium frames, that are heavier, can brake, can oxidize (rust), lose insulation for each part of the frame, lose insulation for wiring running in walls, and create condensation from the aluminum tubes, by using XCORE construction you have a far more superior material used and you can feel confident of the longevity of your van.

Benefits over Aluminium Frame

XCORE composite construction tends to excel in areas such as weight, insulation, and design flexibility, while aluminum frames may be preferred for their durability, low maintenance, and potentially lower initial cost.

Weight

XCORE composite construction typically results in a lighter overall weight compared to aluminum frame construction.

This lighter weight makes the caravan easier to tow and maneuver, leading to potential fuel savings and improved handling.

Strength & Durability

While aluminum frames are strong and durable, XCORE composite materials can offer even superior strength and durability.

The sandwich construction of XCORE composite panels provides excellent structural integrity, with the added benefit of being resistant to corrosion and moisture damage.

Insulation

XCORE composite materials often offer better thermal insulation properties compared to aluminum frames.

This can result in improved energy efficiency and greater comfort for occupants, especially in extreme weather conditions.

Design Flexibility

XCORE composite construction allows for greater design flexibility compared to aluminum frames. We can create sleeker, more aerodynamic designs with smooth curves and contours, as well as integrate features such as large windows for panoramic viewing much easier.

Maintenance

Aluminum frames are generally low maintenance, requiring occasional cleaning and possibly rust prevention treatments. XCORE composite materials typically require even less maintenance, as they are resistant to corrosion, rot, and moisture damage.

Long Term Advantages

XCORE composite construction tends to excel in areas such as weight, insulation, and design flexibility which long term will also bring you many benefits, such as lower maintenance costs, and potentially improved resale value.
