Aluminum vs Fiberglass
Hi everyone - we are in the market for our first TT and are unsure of the real differences between aluminum and fiberglass siding (besides price). Can someone help us out? Thanks!

In my humble opinion, the floor plan and interior components far outweigh the exterior covering.
Good luck
This is the most honest answer here. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but what it really comes down to, what do you like? You can have a fancy slab side with a useless floor plan, or you could have an ugly rib side with a really nice floor plan, or visaversa.
Way I see it, I don't care what it looks like outside as long as it is comfortable and functional inside.
the construction of the RV is my first "cut". no rubber roof, TPO remotely possible. I want fiberglass sides and roof. then I look for one the size/price/and layout I prefer. I will NOT sacrifice construction for floor plan.

I actually prefer a single sheet aluminum roof over anything (but very hard to find today), my last unit had an aluminum roof and it was as good as the day I bought it, 10 years later. My current unit has a textured fiberglass roof. I'd never buy anything with a rubber roof. Way too fragile.
