Precision-built timber-free cabinetry engineered for durability, performance, and modern luxury.
We have invested in new materials, and modern manufacturing processes to deliver a cabinetry solution that is lighter, stronger, and built for long-term performance.
RE-Lite Timber Free Cabinetry
Taking steps forward on new, innovative cabinetry techniques to provide clients with best practices and standards in the caravan manufacturing industry.
Improving the industry
Its a complete re-think on how cabinetry should be built in a high end off grid caravan.
Not Just Cosmetic
New possibilities
Our RE-Lite timber-free cabinetry system is a direct response to the limitations of traditional timber joinery in off-road caravans
Low Weight
The elephant in the room. Its lighter - significantly lighter than traditional Timber RV cabinetry currently available on the market, so naturally we were interested in investing our time and effort.
Why Timber free matters
Traditional timber cabinetry has been widely used across the industry for decades. While it offers familiarity, it comes with inherent drawbacks
Its susceptible to mositure absorbption over time and in some cases, depending on product it can potentially swell
1
Traditional RV timber cabinetry can over time have movement and fatigue stress set in overtime especially in harsh off-road conditions
2
Added Weight of traditional timber cabinets affects overall build and adds up to increased tare and towing efficiency.
3
We saw an opportunity to do better and we have acted on it.

What is it?
Our RE-Lite system replaces timber-based construction with advanced composite materials and precision assembly methods.
This delivers a cleaner, more consistent product with superior performance characteristics across every build.
Key features include:
Fully timber-free structural cabinetry components
Lightweight composite panel construction
precision cutting for exact fitment
Modern bonding and fixing techniques
Seamless integration with our van structure
Our caravans are designed for off-grid and off-road environments. Cabinetry must match that standard.
RE-Lite cabinetry is engineered to handle:
Constant vibration and corrugations
Temperature fluctuations
High humidity and wet conditions
Long-term structural loading
The result is cabinetry that maintains integrity, alignment, and finish over time and compliments our Composite Body Construction which you can also check out.
Advantages to the Owner
-
RE-Lite offers improved overall tare weight, an improved towing efficiency and often an increased payload capacity
-
Ability for no possible swelling of product, no warping or possible delamination. Ideal for coastal and off-grid style environments.
-
RE-Lite offers improved movement and flex over time and helps to better maintain alignment of doors, draws and panels due to its light weight properties.
-
Our panels are designed with the theory that they will last the lifetime cycle of the vehicle. Improved long term wear and reduced maintenance are two benefits of this new panel philosophy.
-
RE-Lite gives you a modern high-quality finish with a clean, consistent high-end appearance. Its precise fit and finish across all areas elevates the overall interior experience.
You can also read our Off Grid Caravan Buying Guide Australia to understand how weight impacts system efficiency.
Advanced Construction Techniques
RE-Lite cabinetry is supported by a shift in how we build, not just what we build.
We have implemented:
High-strength adhesive bonding systems
Mechanical fixing strategies tailored to composite materials
Precision production for repeatable accuracy
Integrated design alignment with chassis and body structure
This ensures every component works as part of a complete system — not as standalone parts.
Future of Caravanning
The move to timber-free cabinetry is part of a broader commitment to innovation and long-term product improvement.
As caravans evolve, materials and construction methods must evolve with them.
RE-Lite positions Elross at the forefront of that shift.
Benchtops
PREMIUM BENCHTOP MATERIALS
To complement our RE-Lite cabinetry system, we have selected benchtop materials that match the same philosophy — durable, moisture-resistant, anti-microbial and built for real-world use.
We offer two premium options:
COMPACT LAMINATE
Compact laminate is a high-density, solid-core material designed for demanding environments.
It is manufactured under high pressure, creating a non-porous, highly durable surface that performs exceptionally well in caravans.
Key benefits:
Completely waterproof construction
Highly resistant to scratches and wear
Strong and impact-resistant
Slim, modern profile for a clean finish
Easy to clean and maintain
This makes it an ideal choice for customers wanting a practical, hard-wearing surface without compromising on appearance.
CORAIN SOLID SURFACE
For those seeking a more premium, residential-style finish, Corian offers a seamless and refined solution.
Corian is a solid surface material that combines durability with a high-end aesthetic.
Key benefits:
Seamless joins for a clean, continuous look
Non-porous and hygienic surface
Repairable — scratches can be refinished
Soft, premium feel and appearance
Custom shaping and integrated design capability
Corian allows for a more bespoke finish, elevating the interior to a true luxury standard.
*Please note Corian is considerably heavier than compact laminate & is an upgradable Option on all ECX and ECX-R models
Quick Answers Block →
Do Timber-free caravans last longer?
Timber-free caravans offer improved durability, reduced weight and greater resistance to moisture compared to traditional builds, making them better suited to off-road and off-grid conditions.
Are timber-free caravans Stronger?
Timber-free caravans use composite materials that provide consistent structural strength without the risk of flex, swelling or degradation, making them more stable in off-road and long-term use.
Are timber-free Caravans Lighter?
Removing timber reduces overall weight, which can improve towing efficiency, reduce load strain and enhance overall performance, particularly in off-road and off-grid applications
“The last years have seen an incredible leap in not just Technology in Caravanning, but manufacturing capability and the use of new age Materials.”
