Four star Colchester for insulated strength

AII Colchester models are manufactured with fully insulated floor, walls and roof. The rigid construction of the side walls utilises a polystyrene foam-filled sandwich, the roof is lined with a thick layer of fibre glass wool and end walls are not only insulated and strengthened – the floor with ICI’s rigid urethane foam and the end walls with ICI’s Purlboard. All this gives superb insulation properties. So much so that Colchester caravans are suitable for use in near extremes of temperature at both ends of the scale.
