wood or metal trusses
I know sales people will sometimes say whatever they think will sell the trailer- but are metal trusses really that much better than wood? What do you think?

Some metal framed roofs are really awesome. See Dynamax's Trilogy. Some are not too good. Find out very clearly how they tie the metal roof structure to the sidewall. Some manufacturers simply insert wood blocks in the hollow tube aluminum and screw together.
Even with metal roof supports, all of your roof and floor decking will be a wood product. The exterior fiberglass is glued to wood. The interior wallboard is wood. So, still gonna have a bunch of wood.
