Hey Mike, we have a Grand Design Transcend. The gauge of aluminum on these is a lot heavier than anything we had on our Jay Flight. It's only two years old so no corrosion that we've seen on the aluminum.
We really looked long and hard at Jayco, specifically Jay Flights, because of our past luck (three of them, zero issues), but since Thor bought them, they just felt cheap and the fit/trim didn't seem anywhere close to what we had in the past.
Grand Design didn't feel cheap, and you can tell from the layout that they're designed by people who actually use RV's as opposed to building and selling them.
Like you, I'm done with fiberglass trailers. Maybe if Azdel is more widespread and luan disappears I'll consider it again, but after chasing leaks for 15 years, I've had enough worrying about a small leak turning into a >$1000 repair.
