There is no Silver bullet . They will all leak and rot if you let them . Diligent maintenance is the key. Luaun and foam construction is not the greatest,however a 2 year leak will deteriorate all types of construction.
Constant inspection of all seams including,lights,windows,doors etc.
All protrusions to the interior should be carefully inspected at least twice a year.
Longevity is not a factor of cost or even construction, but more a result of care and proactive maintenance.

Don't know what size you are looking at. Check out the Camplite trailers from LivinLite. They are all aluminum and Azdel, Aluminum roof, nothing to rot. All aluminum frame and flooring. Our 21BHS has been great. Took a trip from Florida to Arizona and Utah in September and it was terrific. Cost a bit more, but we've had it over a year and are very happy with it:

Hi All,
Sorry if this is a double post (I hit enter too soon on the previous version).
I need your advice and experience. I'm in the market for a new TT and I don't want a typical 'throw away' unit. The last two units I had (Trail Lite and Aerolite) both rotted out from minor leaks that we're absorbed by the luan and foam floors. Aaagghhh! I had rot almost as I hate wasting money.
So, we want a midrange to upper midrange unit. Weight is not a huge consideration. Want a want is something that will last, if I maintain it well. While layout is important, it's what's under the lipstick that counts. It's the construction design, material, and assembly quality.
Is there a high quality midrange unit that will last?? Or should I save up for something like an Evergreen Everlite (fully composite) Arctic Fox, Outdoor RV Creek Side?? By the way, I like these 'Western' deigned travel trailers. They seem robust.
Please give me some feedback on a TT that long lasting, high quality, with good engineering. What's the best long term VALUE.
Thanks very much in advance. Regards, Steve

As an owner you have to do your due diligence in keeping up with the required maintenance.
