Hi Chuck,

Aluminum is definitely the way to go! We bought a 28 ft. Continental Cargo with the smooth siding (and no fasteners) and saved about 900 lbs. over a friends 28 ft. steel Pace Trailer. The tow over the Coquihalla Highway into Mission is pleasurable vs. the heavy steel "box." The smooth siding makes it easier to clean and something I would recommend to anybody looking to purchase a new trailer.

The only maintenance we have completed over the past 3 years was repack the bearings and check the brakes.

We are actually in the neighborhood for a 5th wheel with living quarters and have the 28 ft. for sale if you know anybody who is looking for a clean trailer.

Good luck in your search!
