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!

Aluminum is older technology affectionately called stick and tin. It is well established with several generations of design, construction and repair history.
Fiberglass is a newer technology. Though also a couple of decades olds, the technology continues to evolve. Fiberglass lends itself to the fancy shapes and sculpted designs that folks like, plus it offers a broad canvas for today's artistic decals.
Aluminum is prone to dents, fiberglass is prone to de-eliminations. Which is better is mostly a matter of opinion or unusual circumstance such as the aforementioned hail or intense sunshine.
In my humble opinion, the floor plan and interior components far outweigh the exterior covering.
Good luck
this is what we did, we found one with all the things we liked and bought it, but I prefer the metal for durability, but the fiberglass for looks
