Lamination —
"#POE
That Lasts
Captiva Ultra-Lite is built with the
highest level of quality using a
vacuum bond lamination process
for its sidewalls, roof and floor.
uniquely built as a storage space
using our bed lift system. And the
fully equipped kitchen has plenty
of places for all the items necessary
to put together good meals.
High strength urethane bonds a smooth
fiberglass sheet to a lauan backing to form the
exterior wall. Then it’s bonded with urethane
adhesive to a welded aluminum frame filled with
rigid polystyrene insulation. Finally, a decorative
panel is glued to the inside of the wall.
The completed wall is then placed under
pressure in the vacuum bond (bag) process
for 30 minutes or longer to ensure completely
smooth, high strength bonding.
EASY ENTERTAINING
Have fun during the day and then
relax at night with the theatre
package option that includes a
Dolby® digital 5.1 Surround System
The result is a smoother exterior finish, stronger walls and lighter weight.
Light and easy to tow and better built for longer life.
and LCD television so you can
watch your favorite tv shows. There
is even a TV mount outside for
exterior entertainment.
