Real scoop on Fiberglass skin trailers?

Down to the wire on purchasing a new trailer. Brand: Jayco Jay Flight.
2015 offers both aluminum and fiberglass options(as an upgrade)
Do not like the frameless windows- too many negative posts on them.
Has the delam issue been solved or is it like all other laminated products and will de-lam in time?
Not sure which way I'm going but looks like the aluminum is a sure bet as it has been produced for ever and many are still running.
Any Flight owners w/ fiberglass??
Please share your pros and cons-

thanks
  • No, I do not think delam is inevitable any more than rotting wood is in a stick built unit.
    It all comes down to maint and luck.
  • Have had both. Buy what you like, they all have concerns. I like the fiberglass, easy to keep clean and looks nicer. Only you are paying for it so get what you want
