Exactly.....wood backed fiberglass as opposed to what? Azdel backed fiberglass ( which still can delaminate and is a lot of marketing rigamarole) or stick and tin ( which the siding can have water blow through the s lock seams if it does not blow off completely from the factory idiots blowing staples clear through the nail flanges, not to mention caulk joints that have to be thicker and backed up with succesive layers of butyl tape to account for the highs and lows in panels)?
Looks like Bob wont be buying any RVs. They're all junk when you get right down to it lol.
