Fiberglass is heavier that aluminum. Its not a significant difference though.
We bought aluminum because the Jayco fiberglass process isn't the best. I forget what I learned in my research, but there are essentially two ways to attach fiberglass walls. One is supposed to be superior to the other. If I remember correctly, Jayco uses the superior method for hanging the front wall, and the cheaper (less durable) method for side walls.
Aluminum was cheaper, lighter and easier to repair if I ever need to.
