Re: RC: Aluminum vs. Steel Horse Trailers

Lynne; 

In my experience , it's real simple actually. 

If you haul down the highway the lighter weight of the aluminum is great.

If you haul on dirt roads a lot, you better learn to weld aluminum. 

And if you live in dry parts of the country the steel will never rust enough to damage the structure.  If you live in humidity and salt on the roads in winter the aluminum has it all over the steel.
