I've always been against laminated wall, floor, and roof campers.
I've seen brand new campers delaminating right on the dealers lot, which had been Jayco Jay Feathers and Keystone Outbacks.
I've seen so many laminated wall travel trailers delaminate, I swore I wouldn't buy one and why I had stuck to stick and tin.
Also negatives being that many makers use hollow core aluminum tubing where cabinet can fall off the wall because the screws don't have good anchors. Some have used wood core aluminum tubing to keep that from happening.
Also others have complained that the aluminum tubing in the laminated walls conducts the cold and cause condensation on the inside of the walls in the camper.
With this galvanic corrosion and delamination, seems like all are built as disposable. Not sure if I even want to buy another camper if they will only last around 7 - 8 years without major structural deterioration that costs more to repair than the camper is worth.
