Should I purchase a camper made out of aluminum/wood or a fiberglass?I'm looking to purchase a small camper, approx 18', to tow on the back of my SUV. It's a 2011 Wildwood camper. However, I hear campers made out of aluminum and wood aren't very good because the wood can ruin in time and the aluminum can rust, etc. I hear fiberglass campers are better? Anyone have any knowledge or experience with this? Also, any thoughts or advice with brands/models? And about the Wildwood? Thanks in advance.
Aluminum is lighter so it offers economies over the life of the trailer. The Airstream has been built almost as long as I've been around. It is true that the wood does rot And some care is needed to stop the occasional leak. Fiberglass is heaver and has it's own maintenance issues. I've no experience with the Wildwood. What I do know is that motor homes are dirt cheap right now. You might think about taking advantage of the economy and pick-up a motor home at a bargain.
