High quality Styrofoam is used in the walls and floors for Kip caravans. Some typical advantages of Styrofoam are:
- Styrofoam is stiffer and harder than regular expanded polystyrene
- The fully-closed cell structure of Styrofoam ensures that no moisture is absorbed in walls or floors where it is used
- Styrofoam also gives better insulation than expanded polystyrene, which allows a significantly longer camping season for a Kip caravan
- The whole stiffness of the caravan is increased by using styrofoam
