Hi knowledgebank
I'm interested in purchasing a 1967 Olympic Debonair. I am a rookie in the caravan world and am trying to find out if this type of caravan is insulated but can't find anything on the net. Hoping someone here might be able to help me out.
Thanks in advance!
Chris

If the Debonair has not had any renovations done to it there will be no insulation in the walls or roof. There is some foam rubber in the top cupboards, but it is more to stop condensation than insulation.

Thanks in advance! Chris Actually the roof does have roughly a 50mm close cell solid foam insul core which provides a surprisingly good insulation. The walls have none, but because it is fibreglass paneling, it is somewhat cooler then an aluminum or bondwood van. The later model Olympics which had fibreglass internal paneling (ie not plywood) were a bit cooler in summer I've had the advantage of owning both at the same time - old alloy and fibreglass. The Olympic fireglass vans are much cooler in summer; particularly with the large roof vents. - I cant comment for a winter scenario. Greg |
