Stick-Built Versus Molded Fiberglass
We got an additional tow vehicle, more than capable, so now we have one vehicle that tows 5700 and the newer one, 6500. I like the idea of "no boundaries" which was at one time the motto for A-Liner ...

I posted earlier and forgot to comment regarding Stick TT. We had a 1978 Nomad 23 foot TT we bought new. We used it for 16 years before selling it and buying our now 20 year old 38ft 5th wheel new. The 5th wheel is also stick built.
We used both at least once per month for weekend 300 mile round trips and at least 2 times a year for longer trips of up to 7000 miles.
Both trailers provided us with nearly trouble free travel. The only problems we've had were not unusual and could be considered expected. Both provided trouble free service for the first 10 years. Only preventative maintenance, battery and tire replacement was needed during the 10 years.
Both the Nomad and our 5th wheel were consider mid-level units, in my opinion we have gotten our money's worth out of both.
