    Wildwood changed from aluminum to fiberglass laminate sides?

    Just bought a 2017 27RLSS TT, really like it so far. All the Wildwood literature shows aluminum siding for this model, but mine is smooth fiberglass, I assume some kind of laminate. Does anyone know if maybe they switched to laminate in the 2017 model year? If so, what type of construction...

    2016 Salem 27RKSS Aluminum Siding Warping

    Has anyone had a NEW FR Salem or other with the siding warping in several places at the top of the unit? Forest River has agreed to take care of it, but I didn't expect for the repair to take over 2.5 months and still do not have it to use. Can I expect some sort of restitution for the non use...
