Fortis Caravans (NZ)

The next major building block when putting a Caravan together is what sits on top of the chassis. Caravan frames have traditionally been made of timber, which is extremely susceptible to rot – This can lead to significant issues over time. We have completely re-imagined the Caravan frame with a TIG-Welded aluminium frame. While some other companies advertise an aluminium frame, they often use rivets to put it together. Unfortunately, this riveted construction can lead to stress fractures or cracks in the frame when under load, compromising its durability.

In contrast, the Urban approach is far superior. We fuse the frame sections through TIG welding, creating a seamless one-piece frame section. This technique eliminates weak points and enhances the overall structural integrity of the Caravan. To further reinforce the frame, we lockbolt the wall, front, rear, and roof sections together. This innovative design allows the frame to flex, providing excellent durability and resistance on even the roughest adventures.
