Aluminum framing is no guarantee that the camper won't leak, and if it does leak you will still have problems with mold and rot. You need to keep up on the maintenance.

I notice that the M8801 Palomino's, used, are fairly reasonable in price. My first TC was a 2003 or 4 that I bought cheap because it needed repair. I replaced the roof and front cap, finding them easily repairable. The side and rear were aluminum framed stress skin panels. The top was a stress skin panel with a wooden border frame that sits on top of the aluminum framed walls.
I couldn't tell it was on the truck.(2500HD) Unfortunately my wife didn't like the interior proportions as she's 5'1" and everything in it is far from the floor.(no basement)
The complaints I've heard are usually based on fit and finish, which I think are voiced by those with loftier personalities. My only issues were that the tanks were small, giving us only about 3 days on the black.
I paid more than twice the price of the Palomino for my current 2005 AF and it needed repairs too. The AF is much more comfie, but, it almost twice as heavy.
I think the Palomino is a good lower budget TC. My wife didn't, so I lost. It would be nice to win just once in a while...or maybe not.
Good luck with your hunt.

The Kodiak 's quality was similar to BF 1500 series or a N.L. lite series they had 1 inch foam insulation and the windows were single pane. The shell was made of 4 fiberglass panels that attached together the same way Bigfoot and NL are .
