I was looking up used Gladiator market prices and came across some interesting data. As of today on Cars.com there are 449 used 2020 Gladiators on the market. Yet only 16 used 2020 Wranglers. I looked up several other brands and none have the high numbers of the Gladiator.
Oh, reason why I'm selling this is I will be selling the Gladiator and getting a full size pickup, so if I trade spots with someone then I could reorder to fit whatever I end up with.
I'm selling my Gofast Camper (I actually don't have it yet, but it's number 688 on the leaderboard, https://gofastcampers.com/pages/leaderboard ). The metal components have been made and are being powder coated. I estimate this camper will be completed sometime around mid to late May. I have...

Here's a YouTube review give good description.
Apples and oranges. Aluminum: lighter, cheaper, softer, easier to work with. Does corrode. Coat the aluminum and use galvanized fasteners.
Stainless: heavier stronger etc. more resistance to corrosion.
Pick your material for the application and budget.
I think the RLD camper will outlast...
Using the term structural steel is incorrect as stainless isn't structural steel.

I don't have an issue with their use of 304 if that's what they used. It'll hold up better than...
