LONE-STAR 370 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 The trailer I like is wood framed, you can get it with fiberglass sides or aluminum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I researched this in depth before we bought back in 2010. I like wood for its better insulation, and you don't have to worry about the tack welds breaking. Spacecraft still uses wood for their high end trailers with the polar package. Fiberglass over wood is as good as anything if it is laminated correctly. Fiberglass should have a better resell value too and easier is to maintain. Aluminum is easier to repair and no chance of delam. Knock on wood...we have not had a single problem with our wood framed fiberglass 5'er. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted October 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I am so back and forth on buying a camper. The camper I really want they don't even make anymore work and play 30wrs. So then that takes me to used and then am I just buying someone's problem. It feels really good not owning a camper and I want one so bad. It's driving me crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PghBob 31 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 We have a Class C Lazy Daze motor home. It still uses a wooden frame, galvanized steel floor, aircraft grade aluminum skin and roof, and aircraft grade paint. It is considered one of the better quality Class C units. They are made in 24, 27, and 30 foot lengths, with a couple of different floor plans. No slide outs. Good Luck with your search. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
