How a Bunkhouse Is Built

Our Construction Process

All-welded, tubular aluminum. Seamless fiberglass. Composite backing instead of luan. The same construction that goes into every Soaring Eagle Camper goes into every Bunkhouse.

Soaring Eagle Campers’ use of all-welded, tubular aluminum framing in every portion of our structure provides maximum strength and longevity, making our campers the most durable, longest-lasting entry-level campers on the market.

All-Aluminum Construction

Solid structural aluminum tubes welded together to form the floor, sidewalls, endwalls, and roof.

Unibody Structure

Individual components are bolted, then welded together into a complete uni-body designed to hold firm and stand the test of time.

Seamless Fiberglass Skin

One-piece, seamless fiberglass covers the entire insulated coach — including the roof. No rubber, no vinyl.

All Aluminum & Composite Structure

No Wood, No Steel = No Rot, No Rust!

Soaring Eagle Campers starts with solid structural aluminum tubes which are welded together to form the individual components of the coach (the floor, sidewalls, endwalls, and roof). We then screw and bolt these individual parts together to form the shape of the coach, which is then welded together to form a complete UNI-BODY structure that is designed to hold firm and stand the test of time.

The only wood in the entire camper is a small sheet of plywood decking that is placed over the insulated, aluminum-constructed floor structure, which is then covered by durable coin flooring. This provides additional support when walking around in the camper and will never be exposed to the elements. There will be no delamination on the sidewalls, endwalls, or roof due to the fact that we use a composite backing on our fiberglass — not luan wood, which will swell and deteriorate over time.

Bunkhouse campers are built to the highest quality standards available. The entire coach is insulated and covered with one-piece fiberglass, and dinettes are crafted from composite materials, not wood, which makes them stronger, lighter, and longer lasting.

The Honest Truth

  • It is not cheap to build our campers out of all-welded, tubular aluminum instead of wood.
  • It is not cheap to fully insulate every area of our campers with thick block foam insulation.
  • It is not cheap to use one-piece, seamless fiberglass on our roofs.
  • It is not cheap to use composite backing on our fiberglass walls and roof instead of luan wood.
  • It is not cheap to craft our dinettes, headboards, and other components out of composites instead of wood.
  • It is not cheap to provide ratchet-style, self-retracting tie-downs instead of just D-rings.

We could make them cheap… but then it would NOT be a Bunkhouse.

We Invite You to Come See for Yourself

We encourage you to visit the Soaring Eagle Campers production facility here in Wakarusa, Indiana so you can see how we build our campers up close and personal! Unlike a lot of other RV manufacturers, you will NOT hear the familiar pop, pop, pop-pop of staple guns shooting into wood products. At Soaring Eagle Campers, you will only find welders working with tubular aluminum framing and skilled craftsmen building the best-built campers on the market.
