I'm looking at something similar as the OP. Is there a consideration with regards to wall framing for off pavement use? Aluminum vs wood? I have been told completely different things on which one is better.
As far as framing goes, the quality of the construction matters more than the material IMO. Bad welds can break. Cheap fasteners can pull loose.
For the exterior, fiberglass sides are a must for me. Dragging aluminum siding through the woods completely trashes it. The fiberglass just gains extra pin-striping.
x2. I've got a custom one off Pine/Fir pin striping pattern on mine. I've often thought about buying a beater TT with a 7' width just to go to some of the places we see when out traveling around. No way can I get my 8'x12'6" 5er down those roads.
