More new alum skinned campers than fiberglass
Went to an RV show last week & noticed the majority of these new campers are aluminum skinned rather than fiberglass/filon skinned. Has anyone else noticed this trend in new TT's?

One disadvantage of the aluminum sided trailers is sound penetration. If you're in mine, you can hear EVERYTHING going on outside. I'm guessing the more solid walls of fiberglass or equivalent with block insulation would be quieter.
This may sound a little harsh, but I get very tired of the people that keep whining about wood rot and water intrusion. They come off as maybe intentionally ignorant and perhaps not willing to put forth the effort to maintain their RVs in the first place. Wood framing and flooring does NOT equal water intrusion. My cheap, sticks and tin trailer lives outdoors 365 days a year. It currently has a foot of snow on it with nary a leak or speck of wood rot in its 10 year life.
