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?

My Lance trailer is aluminum caged w/ 2" thick extruded polystyrene that is laminated on both sides with Azdel. Azdel is not only a great insulator but it deadens the sound in an amazing way! It's also very expensive so it's typically only found in higher end trailers and campers. So, it's not for everyone.
The problem with wood in the walls is once ANY WATER gets in, you're setting up the perfect scenario for mildew and mold. No one wants to breathe mildew and mold!! The rotting comes along with poor maintenance or mis-assembly.

And I go back to two earlier posts about mold and mildew in a "plastic" ( azdel ) environment: if you think mold and mildew cannot occur in those plastic constructed spaces, leave your refrigerator off and closed up for a few months and come back and open it up.
Once again, it needs to be pointed out that it's critical to keep water out of these laminated walls.....does not matter what they are constructed of.
