Alpine Western Wilderness TC?

Question

Looking at a large 11+ foot 1986 WW and told it has aluminum studs.
Anyone know if they made anything with aluminum instead of wood?
I did not think so and if not I think this would be way to heavy.
Inside is really clean and looks like it has had very little use but the exterior of the box looks a little wonky so did not buy it. Curious.

Aluminum studs aren't necessarily heavier or lighter.  You should be able to see the studs in the outside compartments, around the fridge, etc.

Everythong Alpemlite made was of aluminum.  Its one of the things that made them superior to anything else made at the time.

I own a 86 11ft western wilderness camper. Have had it since 1990.
Aluminum frame. It has been a good camper but I had to store it outdoors and the siding is delaminating. I think if its stored indoors out of the sun they
do better.

Thanks guys. I made an offer and will update you if accepted.
This rig is really sweet but it's the 1986 that bugs me. For now it would do and I can always update to that 2000 Lance I cannot currently afford. As always, appreciate all the feedback.

I use a 1987 Vacationeer, I was going to upgrade later to a 2000-something camper and never did decide to throw away the $$!
Model year isn't as important as condition. And condition isn't as important as price!!
