CARAVANS JUST GOT LIGHTER!

Caravan joinery just got a whole lot lighter, saving us over 240kg in our new caravan build! ‪@offroadgrit‬ has been pushing for a lighter joinery system for a long time, and now, thanks to Link Composites, it is finally becoming part of the caravans they build. After visiting the Link Composites factory and seeing the scale of their operation, the machinery involved and everything that happens before a finished product reaches a caravan manufacturer, we had a much better understanding of what goes into creating something like this. In this video, Mark from OGRV explains why reducing the weight of the cabinetry matters, shows us the new lightweight joinery and puts it to the test. When the boys can lift an entire cabinet above their heads, you get a pretty clear idea of just how light it really is! This lightweight joinery is only one part of a much bigger story. We’re documenting the entire build of our new caravan with Offroad Grit RV, a family-owned Queensland manufacturer, while introducing you to the people behind the business and showing how their vans come together. We’ve been travelling Australia full-time for more than six years in our off-road caravan, towing with our Chevy Silverado HD and living completely off-grid along the way. This new lightweight caravan joinery will form part of our latest custom off-grid caravan build, designed for remote travel, tough Australian roads and long-term, full-time caravanning around Australia. 🎵 All songs in our videos are ADU originals, each one crafted to match the episode, tied to the places, roads and moments that inspire us.
