Kayteg1, why do you think fiberglass doesn't last 30 years and aluminum would with the same level of care? You can easily see trashed aluminum campers all over the internet. Aluminum is susceptible to galvanic corrosion which fiberglass isn't.

.

also fiberglass boats last a long time, and they get 2 x the sun exposure as a fiberglass RV , direct and reflective, so a 15 year old boat would equal a 30 year old RV. My 20 year old fiberglass boat looks just fine when washed up.

"Boat is a hole in water where you put your money in" ;)
Boats don't seat on 120F yards very often and comparing boat fiberglass to RV fiberglass is like comparing Caterpillar engine to Hyundai 4-banger.
Totally different build strength.
Why do you think Airstream never changed their builds into much cheaper fiberglass?
Regardless high prices they survived when lot of fiberglass builders went bankrupt.
