Fiberglass or aluminum?

Had good luck with 2 aluminum and 1 glass. Current fiberglass has front cap starting to delam.
Probably won't buy fiberglass again.

I've never seen aluminum "dry rot". How can metal "rot"?

Aluminum trailers will leak just as easy as fiberglass. Maintain either and neither should leak. Fiberglass can delam from a leak, and aluminum will dry rot from a leak.

Our previous trailer was a fiberglass "flat" sided trailer. Our current trailer is aluminum sided. I'll never buy a fiberglass flat sided trailer again. Delamination will happen and is difficult to fix. The fiberglass is going to leak at the joints. We had ours maintained by the dealer and it still leaked. As always YMMV.

My previous RV was a Jayco TT. All aluminum. When driving in bad weather water would be forced between the aluminum seams in front. Never leaked in heavy rain when parked..Just when moving. Interesting, because now I see RVs that have aluminum sides and fiber glass fronts. Guess I wasn't the only one having the problem.

I like the looks of the fiberglass sides and it's easier to wax because it's a flat surface but after the delamination problems I've had on my current trailer my next one will be aluminum. To be fair though, some of the delamination is because of a water leak.

personnel preference.
