HAPPIER CAMPER RESOURCES
The nature of fiberglass products
We like to say you never truly own a Happier
Camper… you just care for it for the next generation!
This guide will help you better understand how our
fiberglass trailers and products function and what to
expect while owning one.
NATURE OF FIBERGLASS
With proper care and maintenance, your Happier
Camper will last for generations. We chose fiberglass
because it has one of the best strength to weight to
cost ratios on the market. Additionally, it’s lightweight
nature mean you’ll be spending less time at the pump
(or the charging station)!
There are some topics, such as gelcoat cracks and our
construction processes, that we would like to share to
help you understand what to expect while owning a
Happier Camper.
FABRICATION PROCESS
Our fiberglass campers are constructed with a strong
matrix of filaments and resin that is covered with a
glossy gelcoat finish. We choose gelcoat instead of
paint for its luxe, shiny finish and longevity. Paint is
also heavier and does not last as long- especially when
exposed to the elements.
HANDBUILT BY CRAFTSMEN
You will see the detailing of workmanship on each
and every Happier Camper. This may include slight
differences in the look or feel of the fiberglass or
installation of an item in your camper. Since we don’t
use a mechanized, industrialized assembly line, no two
campers will be or look exactly the same. Installations
may also have subtle differences from camper to
camper.
Happier Campers, unlike mass-produced iPhones or
automobiles, will bear the marks of the craftsmen who
built it. The fiberglass is hand-sprayed into fiberglass
molds before it hardens and cures. From there,
accessories and components, such as the windows, air
conditioners, and solar packages are installed by hand.
CRACKING CAN BE NORMAL
Though it is very strong, fiberglass products are known
for exhibiting small cracks and fissures called gelcoat
cracks and spider cracks. They are nothing to worry
about and are considered cosmetic, not structural.
These minor cracks are commonplace on the gelcoat
of fiberglass products. Gelcoat cracks and spider cracks
are a normal part of owning any fiberglass product and
can be remedied in many ways! Our Support team will
be happy to walk you through your options.
It is to be expected for gelcoat cracks and spider cracks
to occur in your camper. As opposed to other fiberglass
objects like hot tubs, bathtubs, or airplanes, Happier
Campers endure a lot of jostling while on the road which
can result in these minor cracks developing. There is
no way to truly avoid them but remember, they are
completely normal and can be expected.
GELCOAT AND SPIDER CRACKS
Happier Camper is not responsible for the incidence or
repair of gelcoat cracks or spider cracks. These small
cracks are merely cosmetic. Please know our Support
team will always be happy to answer questions and
assess any cracks that occur.
Small cracks can easily be repaired by some auto body
shops, marine repair centers, or at home.
