Before I read this post, I had no idea what could go wrong with the light trailers. Now, I am paranoid about lightweight TTs. I feel like now I have to buy a heavy TT and buy a beast to haul it around to the tune of money down the drain on gas!
How many on this forum have had issues with delaminating or seams coming unglued in their lightweight TTs?
Mookie: What you're agonizing over can happen on
ANY any laminated RV, regardless of weight or cost. Conversely, water intrusion into stick and tin won't result in delamination, but there's more wood that could sustain rot. However, it's easier to repair water damage in a stick n' tin. Bottom line, you have to be proactive with maintenance of the roof and all penetrations of the roof and sidewalls. Trailer type is a matter of personal preference; that's why manufacturers build both types.
What's irritating is when either construction type has leak issues straight from the factory............:M
