I haven't had any personal experience with aluminum trailers, but since I have exotic animals, I'm around a lot of people who have large aluminum trailers. Those who can afford them say they are great.............but the will be quick to tell me that the aluminum "fatigues" and will eventually break.............where as a steel trailer just keeps on going and going. The advantage of aluminum is, of course, weight. So their fuel bills are lower but trailers have to be repaired and repaired and then replaced. Many of those I know have gone back to steel trailers. Of course, I can't imagine that much fatigue for a teardrop, but I still think steel will endure better over the long haul.

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.
