Travel Trailers with Aluminum Frames
This one seems to have an aircraft grade aluminum frame. Are there advantages to this ? Is it the only one ? Is it practical cost wise ? YouTube video of all aluminum frame in the factory

See no reason why it wouldn't work, all it takes is $$$$$$$$. Aluminum per pound is more expensive than mild steel and probably more expensive to weld up. I'm not a welder so I'll let the welders comment.
The only advantage I can see would be the weight savings, and of course, Aluminum won't rust, but can corrode badly.
The corrosion problem can be overcome by an electronic anti-corrosion module or using sacrificial zinc strips.
The zinc strips work great, but they must be monitored and replaced once they have wasted. Think anode bar in a hot water tank, same principle.
