2013 Aerolite construction?
The 2013 brochure and web site are not very helpful, and I haven't found a 2013 Aerolite close by that I can look at yet, so here's some questions that maybe you folks can answer for me.
Looking at an older Aerolite, I see it is low to the ground with torsion suspension axles mounted close to a light weight frame (lots of cut-outs). The wheel wells stick up into the cabin space and any slide out would have be lifted up over the wheels. I believe current Lance and Apex trailers are similar.
But now I look at the 2013 Aerolite catalogue, and the trailers look to be higher off the ground, and there's no inside step up to the slides AFAIK. Has Aerolite changed their frame and axle design to the standard shackles and springs suspension? Or maybe still use the torsion axles but with risers?
Also, I was told that Aerolite used block foam insulation in the ceiling with Aluminum framing. Is that correct? I believe, Lance, Apex and North Trail do something similar. But most "light-weight" trailers use block foam in an Al frame only for the walls and floors, and use fibreglass batts and steel trusses in the ceiling.
Finally, does Aerolite use Azdel, Compositek or similar non-wood paneling under its fibreglass outer layer?
Thanks in advance for any help. We're looking at getting a bigger trailer and the Aerolite 225RBSL is on our list.
