New Coachman Chaparral lite using Azdel Composite Panels.

I have owned a 3o' TT for 13 years and am ready to move to a 5th wheel. Last weekend the I was looking at new one`s and liked the floor plan of a Coachman Chaparral lite 295BHS. The sales man pointed out that it had the Azdel Composite Panels. Anyone have a 5er or tt with Azdel walls. Any unusual noises or problem? Thanks in advance Rob
  • My friend has a koala camper with adzel outer wall construction. Looks nice and holds up well. its supposed to be immune to water absorption and mold. from the net:
    · 50% lighter than wood

    · Offers 3x the insulation value of wood

    · Odorless, Formaldehyde free

    · Sound and energy absorbing

    · Impact and puncture resistant to help prevent damage

    · Impervious to water: Unlike wood it will not rot, mold, or delaminate sidewalls causing costly damage
  • Azdel is a great product. It's the perfect product for wall construction. Lance uses it in all their RV's.
  • We are also looking at the similar 29BHS and was wondering the same thing. I will be hanging out watching for answers too!
    We are also looking at a Cougar 320QBS which is the same floor plan but on 16" wheels and more water capacity.
  • We are in our second Chappy.For the price point it suits us just fine,I have had no problems with the builds on either one of ours.Our first was a lite. The 29RKS.They only made it one year.We like the Chaparral line.The wall construction seems to be pretty solid.
