| Tube chambers
|
|
Each tube is divided into chambers. A chamber should not measure more than five feet (1.5meter). At SOUTHLAND our tubes have four to six sealed air chambers. Most manufacturers divide their tube in two chambers(only one separator wall),each chamber being as long as ten feet (three meters) . If punctured, half of the tube fills up with water.
|
|
|
|
| Tubes
|
|
The chambers are isolated from each other by a separator wall. Each wall adds solidity and security to the tube. SOUTHLAND uses H32 and H36 grade, both being of the same thickness but of a different process. Our aluminium is sea salt water alloy, .081 (2.06mm) thick.

| Performance 3 Package
|
|
A third tube combined with sheets of aluminium covering the under deck creates a running surface. The wave’s pitch and surge effect is practically eliminated

|
|
| Deck structure
|
|
The deck is made of 3/4’’ (19 mm) Douglas, 7-ply, pressure treated (.40 CCA), marine grade plywood. SOUTHLAND has a lifetime warranty against rotting on its deck. We extend this warranty against warping as well because the deck is screwed to the cross members every 8’’ (203 mm).

| Carpeting
|
|
Marine grade carpet quality is 28 oz (840 g) on deluxe models and 20oz (600g) on other models.
|

|
|
| Railing
|
|
The gates are mounted on 11/4” anodized tubes, which come with a lifetime warranty. Please note that many suppliers use painted tube. Those come usually with a one to three year warranty as they tend to crack and peel.
|
|
|
|
| Wall Railing
|
|
The aluminum is inserted and cushioned horizontally as well as vertically. This process improves its durability and reduces vibrations.
Furthermore, all of our front curved railing are reinforced with rays of foam. Once the bench mounted these foam rays work as shock absorbers.

|
| Full Camper Top
|
|
Our tops are made of « Top Gun » canvas. Our full camper tops cover the entire deck, including the foredeck, thus preventing water infiltration under the door.
