Aluminum or wood frame?
Look to purchase a new tt. We camp 3 to 4 times a year. We travel anywhere from 1-6 hrs away. We also looking to go cross country in the next few years. Wondering what's better aluminum or wood frame....

I bought a new 27-foot aluminum-framed Jayco featherweight in 2006 because I liked the smooth fiberglass construction and the light weight of the aluminum framed chassis.
This trailer has been great. The light weight makes a big difference when towing in the mountains, and the fiberglass looks as good as when it was on the dealer's lot.
I was going to buy a new Airstream, but the $17K the Jayco cost me was about what the depreciation loss would have been on the Airstream after five years or so. Besides, the Airstream was much heavier, which turned me off too.
