Obviously , that lends the Alpa Eco a few points in terms of its environmental impact – how many caravans do you know of that are made almost entirely of recycled materials ? The process creates internal and external skins which sandwich a special structural core that ’ s also made of recycled material .
The best news , however , is that the panels do not burn . In fact , creating a fire-proof caravan was one of Jimmy ’ s core objectives when designing the Alpha Eco . Jimmy had a cross-section of the special panelling available and was more than happy to take a small blowtorch to the panel to demonstrate how the panels will smoulder and blister a little , but will not burn . The final step , before the Alpha Eco goes into full production , is to have the van ’ s fire-resistant properties certified by Fire Rescue Victoria and that process is well underway .
