That might be tough to find, but I wish.

There is an all aluminum lite weight TT made.  I mean ALL aluminum! Saw one out at a dealer in Lancaster County last year.  It was kinda weird, definitely not for winter camping!

    The Evergreen Ever-lite has no wood except the cabinets. Its made out of a composite you can put a hole in the roof and cut a hole in the floor and the water will run out with no water damage. It doesn't mold or rot. I almost bought one except I thought it was a little large. It was the Eve-lite 25RB.    David

Currently in the running is the Camplite 21RBS, Evergreen Element 26SRK, FR Aviator Electra.

The Camplite is most likely the winner. The Aviators seem to be impossible to find, the Element is now an orphan, though we did go look at three yesterday.

We started with about 8 that we were interested in, a couple have been discontinued/orphaned, some we were not happy with the build quality/cost ratio. Some the dealer network is very poor.

But those are some that are all composites and or aluminium. The current hold up on ordering is our love for the pod.. and it's community.

Edit: and a part of the hold up is my belief that Airstream will see the light and put a composite floor in.. but I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

 Finally finished the counter top and table mod used 3/4" Baltic birch plywood with 100% tung oil for a finish. Have a larger sink S/S 6" deep and 14" by 14" bowl. The lite colored wood makes the camper brighter and gives the camper a much better look. No more heavy particle board that can be damaged by water.Big smile Sorry no pictures for now do not know how will need someone to do that for me, but they will come in time.     David and Danette

Upload pictures to a free hosting site. I use photobucket. Create free account. Open your hosting site page, upload image, usually a drag and drop action, then, select picture link, "copy" text. Come here, "paste text".

once the link text is pasted in the body of the post it will link to the picture automatically..

The text itself will look a lot like this: (this line purposely corrupted)

But the proper line will cause this:




PM me if you are still having problems..
