Wingamm
Infiltrations
01
The others
They are composed of assembled panels supported by metal and sometimes wooden structures.
No company can guarantee waterproofing over the years because sealants, glues and joints, however advanced, deteriorate and deform due to vibrations, causing infiltrations and consequently damage to the structure and interiors.
Wingamm
For almost 40 years it has been making all the living cells in a single piece of fiberglass (without any junction), borrowing construction techniques from the nautical and aeronautical sectors and guaranteeing the avant-garde in terms of watertightness, solidity and durability.
Insulating materials
02
The others
The insulation is obtained through the coupling of aluminum panels (sometimes fiberglass) with insulating materials of different manufacture and yield. Most manufacturers use styrofoam panels that are cheaper and have a lower insulation capacity than polyurethane.
Wingamm
The fiberglass monocoque is insulated with Polyurethane Foam PU which allows the best insulation available on the market, allowing lower thicknesses that allow to limit the weight and increase the living space inside.
Thermal bridges
03
The others
Climate comfort is strongly conditioned by the thermal bridges that are created in the interstices and between the joints. As for infiltrations, the construction method makes it practically impossible to avoid their presence and this affects thermal performance and comfort.
Wingamm
The fiberglass shell, as a single piece, has no joint or thermal bridge, guaranteeing comfort and savings in terms of consumption for heating and cooling over time.
Safety and Solidity
04
The others
The panels are bolted to the structure and in the event of an accident it is easy for them to break, endangering passengers and third parties.
The fixing of the furniture is carried out by means of screws and a hot system: the furniture can therefore have a strong play and the creaking noises during the march can be consistent.
Wingamm
The fiberglass shell is resistant and elastic, absorbing shocks and protecting passengers. All furniture is firmly anchored to the walls using Würth structural sealant. No play between furniture and walls means no noises and creaks while driving.
Resistance and repair
05
The others
If aluminum is used on the exterior of vehicles and it experiences a hailstorm, it is not repairable and must be completely replaced. A simple bump or scratch also requires the replacement of the entire bulkhead with huge costs.
Wingamm
The fiberglass and polyurethane foam sandwich is very solid and resistant but at the same time elastic. The hail does not cause any damage and the body in case of bumps or scratches is easily repaired. This also allows for significant savings in atmospheric damage insurance.
Heating
06
The others
Almost all manufacturers offer standard gas or oil-fired air heating under the Truma Combi or Webasto brand.
Wingamm
Wingamm proposes the “Floor Comfort System”: a exclusive underfloor heating system absolutely innovative. The Truma Combi 4 Hybrid Heating (Gas + Electricity) is always standard and as an option you can have the Truma iNET Box for remote control of the heating.
Driving and consumption
07
The others
The construction with panels means that traditional campers have a square shape with obvious limitations from an aesthetic and aerodynamic point of view.
For ease of driving, it is important that wheelbase and overhang are reduced to limit roll and facilitate parking and driving on winding roads.
Wingamm
The aerodynamic lines and compactness, the always very low weights of our models allow consumption and performance far better than the market alternatives, allowing you to park anywhere and circulate without problems even in the narrowest streets with a true automotive feeling.
Value over time
08
The others
Larger vehicles lose value quickly because they are less efficient, bulkier and more difficult to maintain and use. The savings in the materials used also cause premature wear and higher maintenance and repair costs.
Wingamm
The official Eurotax price lists show how the used Wingamm is highly sought after and has the best performance in maintaining value over the years compared to the competition. In fact, the first models produced more than 40 years ago are still in circulation which, thanks to the fiberglass body, still have perfectly comfortable and functional cockpits.
Furniture, materials and coatings
09
The others
Almost all manufacturers use furnishings made of plywood covered with films that imitate wood essences and offer different aesthetic upholstery solutions without however using certified materials.
Wingamm
The interior furnishings are all designed and produced in the company. They are made of first choice poplar plywood (guarantee of high quality, lightness and low formaldehyde content) and coated with precious and resistant HPL stratified laminates Abet, Arpa or Formica to guarantee resistance to wear and steam, hygiene and ease of cleaning.
Sleep system
10
The others
We offer bed solutions with or without slats and mattresses generally defined as ergonomic.
Wingamm
All the beds are equipped with wooden slats and the mattresses are with Memory Foam®.
The patented longitudinal folding bed system with a guaranteed capacity of 350 kg, allows access without disturbing the partner and the opening of the side wall units are firmly anchored to the monocoque.
Interior layout
11
The others
The market offers mostly large motorhomes (starting from a minimum length of 6.50m) with similar interior solutions to limit production costs at the expense of habitability and functionality.
Wingamm
We design and manufacture all custom-made furnishings for each individual model, optimizing liveability and functionality to the maximum.
Continuous research and investment in ergonomic and functional solutions in order to ensure maximum habitability in more compact and manageable campers than the competition.
Stowage
12
The others
Each manufacturer claims to offer ingenious stowage solutions. However, the lockers are often made economically, without insulation and heating.
Wingamm
All external compartments are made of double fiberglass shell, heated and equipped with external door with central locking. Only Wingamm offers models starting from 5.90m in length that have a large garage in the tail that can also contain a scooter.
Handles and closure
13
The others
Central locking of the two cab doors is offered as standard by the tractor unit. In some cases the entrance door to the cell is also centralized. The hinges are usually external and can create infiltrations or thermal bridges.
Wingamm
The Safety Block System allows central locking of the entire camper, including the garage and the various external lockers. The patented Wingamm system of THIRD hidden hinges guarantees solidity, safety and aesthetics, leaving the lines of the bodywork clean.
*
This table takes into consideration the solutions typically proposed by the 90% of medium-high range manufacturers. In fact, almost all the campers on the market are industrially produced with similar construction materials and techniques and with walls made of aluminum panels and insulating materials assembled together with metal and sometimes wood structures.
