My '04 Komfort has an all-aluminum cage. The advertising literature of the time, showed 4 y.o. girl softball players holding the whole thing up. The 29FSG, 2-slide big brother to my 25FSG used the same type of cage.

FYI
Its really about quality not materials. Many good rigs are built with Aluminum framing because it's easier to get consistent quality.
But some of the best, say like most (all?) New Horizon and Excel by Peterson are wood.

Don't walk away from an excellent rig simply because it's wood

Virtually all of the mid to upper level fivers are aluminum framed. What is your budget, and what are you looking for?

[Blackcell]

I believe all Carriage models are aluminum. No longer in business but still highly regarded as upper class fivers. Mine has the following construction:
Box Tube Aluminum Roof Trusses and studs.
2 x 3” Welded Aluminum Main Floor
Sub floor is 12” Doublestacked Box Tube Steel Main Frame
Sidewall is Gel-Coat Fiberglass with 2” Box Tube Aluminum

Newmar fivers had aluminum framing in the walls and roof. I know '05, not sure of other years.

I assume you mean wall studs not chassis frame. My Cardinal is aluminum studs and roof trusts, with vacuum bonded gelcoated walls.
