Aluminum Frame vs Wood Frame for washboard roads.

We are wrapping up our first year with our old truck camper. It's been nice having it. It is a 1995 Northland. Of course, looking for a great deal on a camper that might work a little better. Prima...

Another thing you will notice , aircraft , airstream and even my old Avion are riveted construction , not welded . I suspect aluminum welds don't hold up as well to twisting and vibration


How is Avion frame riveted?
I used to own 1965 Airstream and when siding was riveted, the frame was welded.


I own a 76 airstream and a 68 avion TC . Both have been apart , there were no welds . You would have to show me where the welds are in an airstream .
