Wood or Aluminum Frame?
Is the wood or the Aluminum frame sturdier? Thanks!
Forum Discussion
I've had both now. 2 TT's with wood frame and, 1 TT & 1 5er with aluminum. I see no difference in "strength". It just .... if you want to hang stuff on the walls, wood studs are a bit easier getting a screw into than the aluminum ones.
Wood frames will usually have aluminum sided skin. Aluminum frames will usually have fiberglass skin. Both have very, very thin wood facade inside. Between the walls is fiberglass bat insulation for wood frames, like in your home. Aluminum frames have Styrofoam sheets for insulation. Both have their advantages and their disadvantages. It really is a 50/50 toss-up. Your choice. Find the floor plan you like, see if it's available by another manufacture with the opposite frame. Then compare the two in person. See which feels more comfortable to you.
Neither will survive a tornado hit, a flood, or a fire.
