📢 Important Business Update
After careful consideration, Penguin Composites has made the decision to cease the manufacture of Islander Camper Slide-On Campers and to discontinue all Caravan & RV repair work.

We would like to reassure all existing customers that warranty work will continue to be honoured. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact our main office on (03) 6437 2791.

Dino wasn’t feeling his best — a few sore spots and cracks showed up after all the sliding fun at Fairway Park, Ulverstone! 🤕

So he’s off for a visit to the fibreglass doctors at Penguin Composites to get patched up and feeling like himself again 💪🦖

🚫 Caravan Roof Repairs – Read This Before You DIY 🚫

We’re seeing more and more caravans come in with roof leaks that have been “repaired” using black tar or similar products.

Unfortunately, once this stuff has been applied, it creates a much bigger problem:
❌ It traps moisture
❌ It hides underlying damage
❌ It contaminates the roof surface
❌ It makes proper repairs extremely difficult (and sometimes impossible)

Because of this, we – and many other repairers – may refuse to carry out repairs on roofs where these products have been used.

We get it – you’re trying to stop a leak quickly. But using the wrong product can turn a small fix into a major (and costly) job.

✔️ If you’ve got a leak, get it checked properly
✔️ Use the correct sealants and methods
✔️ When in doubt, ask a professional first

Save yourself the headache (and your wallet) 👍

If you’re unsure about your roof or need advice, feel free to reach out.
