Okay folks, I need some input.

I’m looking at buying another trailer. In particular a 28 foot tag with a finished interior. On average how much weight savings is there between an all aluminum trailer and an aluminum/steel trailer. Curb weights vary significantly between manufacturers and in some cases I’ve seen there is only 300 pounds difference between the two types of trailers with similar options. Doesn’t seem like it’s worth the extra money to go all aluminum.

What am I missing? Maybe I’m getting bad information. Comments would be appreciated.
