Here are the answers!
Total Composites has its office in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Our Engineering office and suppliers are in Germany. Our factory is located in China.
Our truck bodies are 30% lighter than “traditional” North American products. The insulation value and low maintenance of the bodies make them more efficient and therefore cause less wear and tear on your equipment. In our mind, the biggest selling point is the ease of assembly! Our engineers put a lot of effort and expertise into our corner extrusions. These, in combination with our PU adhesive, make the assembly process faster than anything else in this industry. With our system, there is no need for expensive tools or machinery. Check out this page for more information.
We no longer sell directly to the end user. All of our campers need to be built by certified builders. You can find them here.
For us, quality is what sets us apart from our competition. Our truck bodies are built to last and out perform anything else on the market today. To achieve this, we work together with premium suppliers and pay good wages to our employees, as well as we have over 40 years of expertise in the commercial composite truck building industry. We also have over 25 years building expedition trucks. In other words, our truck bodies may cost more upfront but outlast our competition by years, we will only sell you the best product possible.
Exciting news! To get started, simply head over to our contact page and send an email to one of our incredible build partners in your area. Make sure to tell them about your vehicle and your overall vision for the project. Next, they’ll send you a template to fill out. Once you return the completed template, our expert engineers will use it to provide you with a detailed estimate.
When you’re happy with the quote and have all the project details figured out, we’ll ask for a deposit to secure your slot in production. If you have any questions about payment, just speak with your selected build partner. They can’t wait to work with you and make your vision a reality!
No, we do not provide that service but you can always check in with our partners on our contact page. (They are very busy so no promises that they are available)
Although we know the importance of a well-designed torsion-free system we do not offer this service. You can always check in with our partners though!
It’s very easy. We work together with a great group of brokers and shippers who kindly arrange the customs clearances and freight details. There is nothing for you to worry about. Total Composites is also making sure that your order will be insured and protected against shipping damage.
Our Expedition Truck Bodies and Refrigerator Truck Bodies are only available in combination with our zero thermal transfer extruded fiberglass extrusions. Only our dry cargo bodies are available with aluminum extrusions.
No, we only sell the extrusions with our expedition kits that are built by our partners.
Simple answer is yes but we do not recommend changing the white color to anything darker. There would be an increased risk of delamination due to higher surface temperatures. These higher temperatures could soften the panel adhesive and possibly cause the separation of foam core and FRP skin. In case of delamination due to high heat damage, we would guide you through the repair process, but will not be able to accept it as a warranty claim.
Customer service is critical and very important to us. We offer 12 months warranty of materials and craftsmanship. We do not cover unauthorized modifications or the use of different adhesives. In the unlikely event of material failure or missing parts, we’d like to assure you that our team will work at full steam until the issue is solved. For these events we always have the most common spare parts on hand in our Victoria office and can arrange overnight shipping.
Certified builders of Total Composites Campers are always welcome to visit the factory. We have nothing to hide and love to show off our state-of-the-art facility!
