Default trailers: fiberglass vs. metal

Seems like the answer might depend on the particulars
of the trailer. My 3-year-old Cobra has a glass top
that is black on the inside and zero visible light
gets through.

I bought it because I though it was more attractive.
I also was paranoid about leaks opening up on the
seams as it accumulated open/close cycles and road
miles - not that I have any evidence of that actually
happening.


After a 100,000 miles on my Cobra trailer, including a trip to Alaska,
and thousands of open/close cycles, the seams are still in perfect
condition. The newer trailers have about one-half the amount of seam
that my 10 year old trailer does, because they redesigned the front end
in a lovely way a few years ago, and now (in my opinion) it looks just
as nice as the fiberglass top.
