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?

Evergreen no longer offers the 2 year warranty. It now is a one year warranty. They are not wood free any more. They use plywood in the roof.
Northwood's Snow River uses marine grade plywood on the roof which is a nice improvement. Even if you have metal rafters they are covered with wood.
I like a roof that uses screws to attach the roof to the rafters. No staples.
Also, many manufactures use wood backing behind the metal so the screws have something to bite into. I thought about wood and metal rafters a lot. I have decided I want a strong well constructed roof wood or metal.
