My Nash, (Northwood), was wood frame with aluminum exterior. I bought it new and towed it many thousands of miles including a trip into the Canadian Arctic up the Dempster Highway which is 1000 miles up and back, (450 one way), of dirt road. It was heavy for a 24', (4400lbs UVW), but well built. After five years, I sold the Nash and bought a 30' Arctic Fox with two slides, (over 7000lbs UVW). Northwood builds their own frames as has been mentioned and my Fox has aluminum framing throughout the superstucture but, Northwood puts wood inside the aluminum square tube at attachment points so screws have something besides thin aluminum to bite into.
While I would not hesitate to take my Arctic Fox off the pavement, I would be a bit more careful because of the slide outs. Arctic Fox/Nash are four season and well built. They are designed for going off the pavement.
I've been through the factory in Oregon and am very impressed with the quality of the work.
