The two types are built quite differently.
The smooth sided filon/fiberglass ones are basically glued or laminated together.
The aluminum siding models are stapled to the wood studs.
Aluminum studs do not retain staples very well.
That is why it is not done.

After reading another thread, I may not be so sold on smooth sided “fiberglass” trailers. I have noticed the delam and mirroring of the frame as well as the gelcoat coming off on many that are just a few years old. I guess the smooth look just appealed to me a lot more. I want as little wood as possible either way. I really liked Holiday House RV, but they like Airstream have very little exterior storage and no floorplan with recliners.
