Recreational Vehicles

As in all transportation applications, rising gas prices make weight an important consideration. And at one third the weight of other metals, anodized aluminum offers a major cost savings opportunity. Wall and ceiling panels, framing, fixtures and other components made of anodized aluminum present a striking appearance, and offer a low-maintenance finish that won’t flake, chip, or peel.

RVs are designed to go places; here’s a quick look at some of the many places anodized aluminum can go in RV manufacturing.

• Structural Components
