Try looking at camplite trailers. Particularly those 2 years or older. Ours all aluminum. Top to bottom. Ours is incredibly durable. Thor bought them and cutting on quality. Same happened to Airstream. Too bad
Yeah, for most campers, an all-aluminum trailer is going to be the most durable.
Just from working on my old Starcraft, if the builders had the kind of sealants that are now available, the trailer would have been in totally usable condition after 40 years. What I inherited were leaks and rot along the seams of the aluminum roof. That is all fixed and Eternabond took care of the future,
I think if I bought a new trailer, I'd get on the roof and Eternabond everything immediately. That takes care of most leak issues, The interior and running gear is another matter. Good axles and bearings are available but usually sized too small for the weights carried. The interiors are typically vinyl sheet over press board or MDF. real poor choices for the way an RV is used.
