Aluminum vs Fiberglass
Hi everyone - we are in the market for our first TT and are unsure of the real differences between aluminum and fiberglass siding (besides price). Can someone help us out? Thanks!

I believe you're wrong here. If an RV has aluminum siding, it's almost 100% sure to have a wood frame. Not counting Airstreams of course.
None of Jayco's aluminum sided trailers have aluminum frames. They all have wood framing.valhalla360 wrote:
A little correction: Most new RV's regardless of siding use Aluminum studs not wood, so having aluminum siding does not mean you will have wood studs that will rot.
Of course, water inside the walls is a bad thing no matter what construction method is used.
Odd, my Dads, brother-in-laws and my previous aluminum sided trailers all had aluminum framing.
But again water inside ANY wall is a bad thing. If you walk around a campground, almost every fiberglass sided trailer over 10yrs old will have at least some delamination.
