Aluminum or wood framing on these?

[alanmikkelsen]

Generally speaking, considering year models 1998-2006, 22'-26' fivers, which of these are wood framed and which are aluminum framed:

Northwood (Nash & Artic Fox)
Sunnybrook
K-Z (Sportsman?)

Thanks!

SB also has a goliath strong running gear, no lippert. I think Arctic Fox running gears are also very strong and no lippert. I remember looking at those 3 brands in the 90s and it came down to AF or SB. SB's were redesigned in 03 and they went to a totally different running gear with huge basements but they got much taller and heavier. We had a 2000 24CKFS (12" boxed frame) and a 98 30RLFS (14" boxed frame), both were extremely strong. I wouldn't be afraid of a well built wood frame. Craig

I believe all Nash units for that era are wood, for Arctic Fox (of that era) look for Silver Fox edition, those are Aluminum framed, the others are wood.

That all being said, what matters more then if a rig a framed of wood or aluminum is workmanship. The one of the best companies will build with wood, another with aluminum, while the same can be said that the worst made rigs could be built with either
