Caribou was top of the line in Fleetwood production. Year 2001. It is considered aluminium frame - do you see aluminium on this wall?
I hope lot has changed, but I am too realistic to believe it.
My vintage 40' Prevost required smaller heater than small Truck Camper in nominal 11' size.
Prevost had solid polyurethane sprayed inside the walls, typical RV has Styrofoam or fiberglass stick here and there.
We use Lance now, where some compartments have 1/8" of insulating foil.
Okay but I had a 1998 28' fleetwood 5th wheel, I had to tear into a wall that had water damage. I never measured the wall but I'm sure it was close to 1 1/2' thick. And as the link I posted above my 2004 Montana walls are 2" thick and it even lists the R factor, that's a huge difference when it's cooling down. I don't think my wife would accept 3/4" walls. She loves the cool trailer when it's in the triple didgets.
