The body structure of the caravan is made of fiberglass material, as we all know, the caravan is a behemoth, in order to reduce fuel consumption, many manufacturers will try everything to reduce the weight of the car, do a good job of lightweight.
Many trailerS are made of fiberglass, because its lighter quality and higher strength can resist corrosion, earthquake resistance, sound insulation, heat preservation and other benefits, the process is more coordinated, and the installation parts are easier to optimize and tidy.
In the automobile industry, it is widely used, and even the high-grade shell should be maintained, and the fiberglass used in the RV should be maintained no matter how good it is, and the RV should avoid contact with sharp and hard objects during the parking and reversing process.
Daily to check whether the shell is damaged, resin peeling, deep scratches, fibers exposed, these situations appear, you must repair immediately, otherwise when it rains, there will be rain infiltration, will accelerate the damage of the shell.
Once the shell has a hole, the sandwich insulation layer inside will be destroyed, breeding bacteria inside, there will be insects to raise the family inside, rainwater invades the furniture in the caravan, cold weather is not insulated, the shell must be maintained in time.
FRP shell to keep clean, usually you may use the external kitchen to cook dishes, inevitably there is grease attached to the surface of the shell, accumulated over time of course will be ugly, but also corrosive the shell.
As soon as the oil scale appears, it should be cleaned with ordinary household cleaners in time, and cannot be cleaned with a more corrosive solvent, otherwise it will be counterproductive, accelerate the corrosion of the shell, and cannot be scrubbed with dirt powder and metal wire, which will leave obvious scratches and affect the beauty of the surface.
If the stain is really difficult to remove, try to clean it with neutralizing chemicals such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel, toluene, xylene, styrene, and acetone.
After cleaning, be sure to rinse with clean water, which can prevent them from invading the inside of the structure, in the cleaning process, use some plastic pieces with low hardness to scrape the shovel, do not let it scratch the surface, and finally use soft towel gauze to scrub.
No matter what the car is, avoid exposure to the hot sun, the motorhome should be parked in a cool place, even if there is no shade from trees around, at noon and afternoon, the sun is overhead, and it is inevitable to be exposed to the sun.
You have to make a simple pergola, long-term exposure to fiberglass is not friendly, gel coat layer color will fade.
FRP also needs to be waxed and polished regularly, one is to make the shell more bright, like a new car, the other is to play the role of a protective layer, car wax can be, to use a hand polishing machine, throw three times, each time at interval of two hours, the frP surface forms a very tough wax film, the surface is as bright as new.
If you want to use this motorhome for a long time, in three to five years, the shell will gradually lose its luster, the dark color will become lighter, the gel coat layer will become old, the scratches will become more numerous, and the polish will not help.
Paint needs to be applied to maintain aesthetics and increase durability, and the paint should be mainly painted with polyurethane and epoxy resin because it has good protective properties.
Before painting, first clean the surface, use clean mold water to remove wax, use sandpaper water to grind, encounter deep scratches to use epoxy putty, the final paint, to use spray paint, after the paint of the caravan, will return to the fresh car as bright.
