Revolutionising RV and motorhome repairs with embedded healing in composites

Protecting motorhomes from a growing threat

Motorhomes are increasingly exposed to extreme weather conditions, with hailstorms becoming one of the most significant causes of damage. Whether parked unprotected at home or travelling on the road, motorhomes often sustain dents and surface damage on their roofs and outer walls — typically built from lightweight composite sandwich panels.

Repairing these panels is a costly and time-consuming process. In most cases, entire sections must be replaced, requiring extensive labour and transport logistics. The problem is only intensifying: between 18–24 June 2021, multiple hailstorms across Germany damaged approximately 190,000 vehicles, resulting in €700 million in losses. In some regions, up to 25% of insured vehicles were affected. For the motorhome industry, hail damage represents around 80% of total insurance costs.

The high cost of traditional repairs

Traditional repair solutions for hail damage in motorhomes typically involve either full panel replacement or manual reworking of the surface. Both are expensive and time intensive. Replacing damaged sandwich panels can cost up to €20,000 per vehicle, with labour times exceeding 120 hours. Even manual repairs average around €5,000, not including vehicle downtime and transport costs.

For manufacturers, insurers, and vehicle owners alike, these methods drive up costs and limit repair efficiency — creating frustration and significant financial pressure across the value chain.

A smarter way to repair with HealTech™

CompPair’s HealTech™ technology offers a transformative alternative to conventional repair processes. By integrating GRP Healable Sandwich Structures with HealTech™ skins, motorhome panels gain the ability to regenerate dents and microcracks within minutes — simply by applying heat at 100°C.

This process enables quick, localised repair without the need for dismantling or replacing large parts. The result is a 10x to 40x reduction in repair cost, with minimal downtime and a significantly lower environmental footprint.

Beyond cost and time savings, HealTech™ helps extend the service life of motorhomes, reduces waste from discarded panels, and supports sustainability objectives across the recreational vehicle industry.

Driving change in the RV industry

With HealTech™, CompPair is redefining what durability and repairability mean in the motorhome sector. The technology not only provides greater protection against hail and surface impacts but also aligns with the industry’s growing commitment to sustainable innovation.

As extreme weather events become more frequent, easy and efficient repair solutions will play a key role in ensuring resilience, reducing insurance claims, and improving the overall customer experience.

CompPair’s HealTech™ solution is paving the way towards a new standard in motorhome manufacturing and maintenance — repairs made simple, sustainable, and fast.

Heal damage in minutes — not weeks

HealTech™ brings confidence back to the road. With faster, easier, and more sustainable repair technology, motorhomes can stay protected, perform longer, and keep travellers moving — no matter the weather.
