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!

Please search for other topics that have already addressed this subject.
Likewise the question of slant vs straight load and whatever else you come up with next.
