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. ...

I'm also intrigued with the Azdel product for the walls, but I won't sacrifice the floor plan or other features I want just for that. Good preventive maintenance will render it mostly meaningless too.

Easy to pontificate and say it won't happen to you but the reality is leaks can happen to anyone, regardless of how they may think they're carefully maintaining their trailer.

Indeed leaks can happen. I was proactive with my trailer when it was new, and used Eternabond along the entire roof edges and other square roof fittings, verified that the Dicor was good on the others, then used a quality caulk on every vertical surface cutout, from the lights, to the doors, windows and corner moldings. My brand had a terrible reputation for leaks, yet mine has remained dry inside for many years of living outside. OK, I'm off my stump. No more pontificating... :)
You're right. ;) Clearly I'm totally mistaken in believing it not unreasonable that when one pays as much as a new car for a brand new trailer one should expect the **** thing to not leak, at least not in the first few weeks of ownership. Of course it's MY responsibility to take whatever proactive measures are necessary, at my own cost, to make up for a poorly assembled and tested product. Good grief, what was I thinking?!! :S Guess we're just not all as smart as you. :R
