I have a 2010 Adventurer bought new from Northstar and I'm very happy. Mine's filon but at the time I had the option of aluminum or filon skinned. I just checked the site and don't see aluminum as an option anymore. When I picked my camper up at the factory, they had a hail storm the preceding week and they were pulling several of their new aluminum skinned campers back into the factory from the parking lot to repair the hail damage. None of the filon skinned needed repaired. I can understand concerns about filon but knowing Northstar, IMHO, they wouldn't have dropped the aluminum if it really was superior.

BTW: If you have a certain feature you would like but don't see it as an option, don't hesitate to call Northstar and ask. When I asked Rex if they could build the Adventurer with dual propane tanks, even though the catalog only shows a single tank, there wasn't a moment hesitation before he said "No problem."
