    As you research RV manufacturers, keep in mind the fact that no manufacturer is so good that they never have any unhappy customers, and none is so bad that they have no happy customers. I have found that if you post negative statements about any brand, there will be those who defend the company, probably because they believe the negative statements about that RV manufacturer reflect badly on them for having bought that brand. 

    Definitely alot of truth behind that dont go to a ram, ford, Chevy forum asking about quality they seem to be biased. As I do my research I do find alot of happy people with gulf trailers but alot of people not happy with the motor coaches.

    Most RV siding will handle brushing against the smaller, flexible limbs but not a more rigid one. If you will be going in and out frequently it would be wise to do some trimming to prevent anything more than about 1" diameter from dragging. I really don't see much difference in what would hold up better. Probably the fiberglass would be somewhat so as it is more smooth but the aluminum is more easily repaired. 

    Thanks for editing out the black!

    No problem I think a sawzall will definitely be going with me. 

     

    Also little more information the trailer will be used mostly for weekends but I could see using it for week long trips maybe twice a year. It will be in a non covered storage lot about 2 miles from my house I got 2 kids so tank sizes seem to be a plus but we also need to learn how to be less wasteful with our water in the first place.

    Thanks for the input so far keep it coming! As far as the trees go I'm not real sure how bad the trees would be I just didnt know how much the two types of sidings handle it I didnt know if it would be real easy to pop the aluminumn or if the fiberglass would scratch super easy ot if the handeled it ok I don't want to damage a brand new trailer but sometime you may get yourself in a sticky situation no pun intended. I know other properties around him has people with campers up there. 

    Washing kids in the shower wouldnt be a big deal they both listen well enough to get the job done. My 5 year old is a climber for sure and we do plan on boondocking for mostly justweekends but theres potential for longer.

    Black text.

    Sorry for the black. It was copy and paste. I'm not sure why it had the black I will retype.

    One one the biggest opnions I wanted was on siding I like the look of the fiberglass much better. My brother owns some land out in the middle of now where and going out there boondocking it would be on our list. The road has about 3 good miles up the mountain and 2 ruff ones with pot holes and trees over hanging. I havent made it out there my self yet its 4 hours 1 way from my place. I'm a little worried about trees and what would hold up better with I did get tangled up in them. It would only be like a monthly trip. And on top of that I still would like to hear everyone's likes and opnions. Again very sorry for the black text.
