I've seen Filon trailers I like, but I still like the look of aluminum a little better. Looks more classic to me. One of the drawbacks to aluminum is it dents if you even look at it wrong. 'Course, the up side is repair is pretty easy. I haven't spent a whole bunch of time with maintenance to the exterior. Wash it twice a season and keep gutter extensions on to minimize black streaks. Hasn't been a problem, but I see this year the paint is starting to fade and chalk a little. I've been using Zip Wax, but I might have to hand wax it this year to bring the shine back. Highly subjective decision, IMO.
