Adzel...real world benefits? Drawbacks?

As has already been stated, adzel is superior to luan as a backing for fiberglass because it does not delaminate when it gets wet, does not rot or mildew like wood. We are currently shopping for an upgrade and are giving strong consideration to adzel. Our current unit is fiberglass bonded to luan and has a minor delamination in the back wall. I would not go back to wood frame, aluminum siding as there is too much potential for leaks, rot, mildew and when the fiberglass insulation gets wet, it sags and eventually pulls the staples and settles to the bottom, and the aluminum siding is very hard to wax. Also we are looking at 2" thick bonded walls, vs. 1-1/2". Most 1-1/2" are R-7 or some claim R-9, but 2" are R-11. Everyone claims to make a quality product, but when you start looking closely, there are big differences.

If I was shopping for a new RV and could buy whatever I wanted, I definitely would have an Adzel or ComposiTech made camper high on my list. Or something like Camplite, that is like 90% or so recyclable. That being said, there are an amazing number of "inferior" stick and tin trailers of all sorts roaming around. My guess is that without proper maintenance, there isn't a camper made that won't start falling apart sooner or later.
As far as the insulating factor goes, the difference between lauan and the plastics doesn't amount to doodly-squat.
Good luck and enjoy the pursuit.
