The reason I'm looking for an aluminum frame and better quality trailer is that the one I have not had a major water leak. I fixed it including replacing part of the floor that was rotten
I'm not certain a better quality trailer exempts it from leaking. Nor does an aluminum frame. Whether it's of minimal spec or the best one out there. I think the important thing would be to do a very thorough inspection of any trailer you're interested in. Trust your judgement. Like my dealer told me when we were looking to buy our first trailer..."whether you buy from me or you buy from another dealer, you should know that every single one of these is a POS". He was right to a certain extent. I've never seen an RV regardless of manufacturer that didn't need better quality control. They build these things so fast, there's going to be issues.
