What are some of the lightest yet still spacious (bunks, etc) on the market?

The bulk of the trailer on the market are carbon copies of one another.
From a basic construction stand point, you are correct. 2x2 pine walls with some thin interior sheathing for rigidity and aluminum siding. I am always amazed the they hold together as well as they do with no cross bracing.
I don't know if the 1x1 aluminum frames are really that much more durable. A lot depends on the welds. In theory, the fiberglass laminated sides should be more durable, but I have heard that is not always the case.
(Segue for you construction experts. On RV are the interior and fiberglass exterior panel "bonded" to the wall framing with some kind of construction adhesive ?)

In the end the biggest concern is floor plan.
Very true ! For example, there are very few <20' TT that have sleeping areas at opposite ends for families or snorers. Slide outs for the dinning area or coach are not popular either, unless you have a larger RV.
