fiberglass or aluminum siding

I'm just starting to shop around for our next trailer. With grandkids, we're thinking of a bunkhouse model, maybe up to 30 foot. Looking at used, maybe 2-3 years old. Question is do I look for fiberglass or alum siding? We currently have a 2004 Wilderness TT, wood framed with alum siding and it hasn't aged very well. Siding is faded, graphics faded and is looking pretty old. Does F/G siding hold up better? On the 2-3 year old market they seem to be several more thousand, but might be worth it if they hold up better and if resale is any better. Any thoughts?

You have to wash and wax any trailer you buy fiberglass or aluminum or they will fade. Like another poster said if you can keep it in covered storage it will keep it looking new a longer. Graphics fade on either one, out of sun they last longer. Fiberglass will chalk out and is harder once this happens to restore then aluminum. Maintaince is the key for either one.
