Aluminum frame construction is lighter then wood frame construction and just as durable. Laminated fiberglass is lighter then aluminum sided and just as durable.
Saying a lite 5'er can do just as well full time on the road as a heavier trailer and last just as well is not always correct. That said, a quality lite trailer can be well built and do just fine for most RV'ers.
