Laminated sides vs aluminum siding
Is there any unbiased data out there that shows laminated FRP/rigid foam/aluminum frame is better than aluminum siding, fiber glass insulation and wood studs. ? My "gut" says the laminated side sho...

I suspect laminated would be lighter for equal strength. It definitely is lighter for equal rigidity and in theory ought to be able to be made more resistant to at least structural damage from water. In practice, I doubt the water resistance is better.
I would love to see welded unibody construction, similar to a car body structure, with foam injected inside for insulation and additional rigidity. When was the last time you heard of anyone having to caulk the roof on their car? I suspect that the level of tooling required might make it economically infeasible to build RVs this way, given their comparatively low volumes.
