Okay ~ I have another question that I'm hoping you all can help me with. Is an all-aluminum trailer really "much better" than a steel frame w/ aluminum skin? I'm wondering about the structural integrity and overall strength of aluminum vs. steel... and the "crunch factor" if (God forbid) you should get in an accident.
Thoughts/opinions/advice/comments are MOST welcome! Thanks!
