What impressed me most was that Coachmen is that unlike most other FG walled trailers they use Azdel in their walls. Azdel is not wood based and won't take on water which leads to delamination...
An overstatement of fact that I'm sure Coachmen would love to have you believe and to propagate. :R In point of fact only the sidewalls are Azdel, the end panels are luan laminated with fiberglass. I have before me on my phone a pic I took at my local Coachmen dealer - brand new Apex on which the entire rear wall had been removed because sealant had failed, the wall became soaked and delaminated, and was being replaced with a new wall. Hate to say it but all the studs are wood with fiberglass batting for insulation between the studs - entirely conventional stick construction. My Coachmen Freedom Express wouldn't be any different. ;)
