Aluminum sided trailers are tried and true...build like a house and this type of construction with wood framed aluminum skin has been around since the 1940's. If you're an Ecological Freak...these types of trailers are about 80 percent recyclable! They are inexpensive entry level RV.
The smooth sided trailers and rv's are more labor intensive to build, takes more skills and steps to build, use more expensive construction involving plstics, glues, and lamination, foam core walls,and welded aluminum frames. A bit more $$$.
