Sounds like your aboot set!
Regarding aluminum vs wood weight. It “may” be a bit lighter but can say, on a totally different camper, I had 2 of the same models. 1 Al frame, 1 wood frame and could not tell any difference in weight. On the upside, I had the Al one first and thought that was what I “wanted”. Then bought the older one after selling the first one in Alaska before returning to the L48 and the older wood one went through just as tough of conditions and showed no signs of fatigue or other issues.
Although admittedly, I didn’t care about weight and haven’t ever run any of my rigs across a scale except at the garbage dump.
