I have to take issue with turtle's post. Being a race car driver he should know lighter doesn't necessarily mean not as durable. It's dependant on a whole bunch of other factors. Lighter could be better in a whole lot of ways. It all depends.
True. But in travel trailers, lighter is generally accomplished not with high tech materials or innovative engineering and design, but by making floors from foam board and luan instead of plywood, walls thinner, roofs too lightweight to be walked on, etc. Ultralights are lighter because there is less there.
