Azdel wall construction
Ok guys, more questions from the newbie. I've been looking into these ultra light trailers and more especially the Apex Trailers and I'm wondering if the extra cost of the Azdel walls is justified. ...

Having it in the sidewalls only isn't anything to scoff at. That's quite a bit of real estate on a trailer. The Coachmen vacuum bonded Azdel walls are definitely a few steps above the traditional pinch rolled luan walls.
Presumably you'e referring to my post in which I indicated that just the sidewalls in Freedom Express and Apex trailers are Azdel but nowhere am I "scoffing" at this but merely pointing out (since no salesman will ever tell you this) that only the sidewalls are Azdel, the front and rear panels are conventional pinch rolled luan walls.
Right at this moment, as I'm writing this, I'm looking at a pic on my phone that I took last fall at my own Coachmen dealer. It's a rear view of a 2015 Apex with the entire rear panel removed as the original was defective and was being replaced under warranty with a new one. The wall panel itself was conventional pinch rolled luan and contrary to what some may believe the entire back wall framing is entirely wood stud - no metal at all. Unfortunately no salesman will ever tell you this. :(
