Need bunkhouse 5th wheel advice

[Bigruh36]

I am looking for a new bunkhouse fifth wheel and I am considering a Sierra/sandpiper, Columbus, blue ridge or silverback. I am flexible on the exact plan but was wanting feedback on the different brands construction. Do any of these use azdell as the fiberglass substrate? Is there any advantage to the cedar creek method of construction (non laminated walls), as it seems to me that they are arriving at the same end by a different method. Also some units have laminated floors, is this better than tongue and groove? Why do some units use wood in the roof or floor while the walls are aluminum? Is it to save money or is there another reason? Is the fully welded 6sided aluminum frame the way to go or not? Is there any difference between the Sierra and the Sandpiper other than window trim? The plans are the same. Any feedback on the long term quality of these brands would be appreciated.

All similar at similar price points. CC Hathaway is one small step up. The wood is not used, I believe, mostly because of weight. Every ounce of weight is minimized where possible. Aluminum doesn't rot and wood does, and wood is heavier.
