As far as I understand from my research, an aluminum frame TC is better suitable for the stretching during off roading and a popup is best since it keeps the height to a minimum (overhanging branches).
Question: does it exist: an aluminum frame TC with popup and toilet/indoor shower?
1) fourwheelcampers = alu frame, popup, no indoor toilet/shower
2) palomino = wood frame I assume? , popup, indoor toilet/shower
Any others that offer all of our requirements?
P.S. We also own an Airstream, which we just took on a trip from Texas to Alaska and back (7 month trip). Is this why people pay more for an Airstream: the fact that you can actually make repairs to it and it keeps it value, as opposed to fiberglass 'SOB' (some other brand, as they are lovingly called in the Airstream community) trailers?
