You rivet that fiberglass siding and you'll get stress cracks.

My Dina bus uses adhesive to secure the aluminum sides and it hasn't come loose in 22 years since the bus was built.

I used to own a Jayco travel trailer.  The quality of Jayco seemed to be ahead of the other travel trailers I looked at.  I did have a major quality issue with mine where a block of wood was too short and the worker still installed the block of wood rather than grab another one.  I guess piece work means you cut corners to get more work done.  It took me a whole day to fix that issue properly as the dealer didn't fix it.

These days I wouldn't consider a travel trailer that doesn't use metal wall framing.  It might cost more, but it will last longer if any water gets in.

Don't believe Aussie Jayco's are any better they have continuing problems they are currently being taken to cort by a goverment watch dog for breaches of terms of customers right for a refund due to faulty goods not fit for use
Want to see how good Australian caravan manufactures are look at the Facebook Group Lemon Caravans
I'm glad RV builders don't build Aircraft
Gotta love staples, glue and wood that rots in 2-3 years and safe wiring
