What is the best temperature to fit caravan graphics

Caravan and motorhome graphics need correct temperature to bond properly. Even high quality vinyl will fail if applied in poor conditions.

The best temperature range for fitting caravan graphics is between 10C and 25C for the air, the panel surface and the vinyl.

Why temperature matters

Cold vinyl does not bond properly. Hot vinyl stretches and shrinks later. Both lead to lifting edges and early failure.

Cold weather problems

Below 10C adhesive performance drops and graphics can peel after fitting.

Hot weather problems

Above 25C vinyl becomes too soft and can distort or shrink after installation.

Panel temperature

Caravan walls in sun can become much hotter than the air. Always fit graphics in shade or indoors.

Fitting in winter

Caravan graphics can be fitted in winter if the panels and vinyl are warmed before application.

After fitting

Allow 24 to 48 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before washing or exposing to cold.
