I am new to a lot of Rv features, and I am trying to figure out what exactly I want before purchasing one. I like to keep things for a long time, so I want to make sure I get what's best for me for the long haul.

First question is fiberglass vs metal siding? What are the pros and cons of each?

I am looking for a 5th wheel toy hauler and am narrowing down to sierra sport and weekend warrior. Looking for one 28-32ft without a garage. Are there other makes I should also be looking at?

Tandem vs triple axle? I just look at triple axle is 2 more tires to replace?

I feel like I am clueless. I have a f250 with a 7.3 powerstroke for a tow vehicle.

I'm sure others will offer more detailed advice, but in general:

aluminum siding is cheaper, but will not de-laminate. (we prefer aluminum)

2 vs 3 axles: more axles mean more weight you can carry, in theory. Look at the numbers!

You have the right tow vehicle for a toy hauler. Just watch the numbers.
