RV Shell Selection: Fiberglass Shell vs. Aluminum Alloy Shell
Published time:
2025-04-01
With the further improvement of the performance of chemical products and the continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, non-metallic materials are increasingly used in the bodies of recreational vehicles. They have the advantages of being lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant, energy-efficient, shock-resistant, sound-insulating, high-strength, easy to process, and easy to integrate components. Foreign countries began to use fiberglass products extensively to make recreational vehicle bodies in the 1980s, even adopting all-unsaturated polyester bodies. In China, the partial fiberglassing of recreational vehicle shells has become more common, such as bumpers, engine hoods, and body parts with large bends and complex shapes. With the continuous development and utilization of raw materials, the application of fiberglass shells in automobiles is increasing.

Foreign countries began using fiberglass products extensively to manufacture RV bodies in the 1980s, even adopting all-unsaturated polyester bodies. In China, partial fiberglass reinforcement of RV shells is relatively common, such as bumpers, engine hoods, and body parts with large bends and complex shapes. With the continuous development and utilization of raw materials, the application of fiberglass shells in automobiles is increasing.
Fiberglass shells vs. aluminum alloy shells: In terms of price, aluminum sheet material is more expensive, and fiberglass is cheaper. However, the strength of fiberglass may be slightly higher than that of aluminum sheet, but fiberglass has better thermal insulation performance, much better than aluminum sheet, and fiberglass does not rust, and the internal structure is easier to manufacture, especially complex structures. For RV applications, which are often exposed to the sun or in extremely cold environments, fiberglass is more suitable.

The development prospects of fiberglass robots
Fiberglass robots are actually quite common now. Have you ever seen the intelligent service robots in hospitals? Their outer casings are made of fiberglass. This is because fiberglass offers high strength, light weight, excellent corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and a long service life, making it more durable than traditional materials. Of course, CT machine casings in hospitals, wastewater treatment tanks, large architectural art pieces, etc., can all be made of fiberglass. Its applications are quite extensive.
