If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Maybe- I learned the Lance campers went to aluminum framing in 2010. And wound up 30 lbs lighter. Of course, mine is a 2002... probably 30 lbs heavier since I replace that balsa wood (or whatever) framing with AWW.

No idea on others.

I don't know how old that R-POD is, but the newer ones don't have any wood in their construction. They use welded aluminum frames with the fiberglass exterior. I'd bet that one doesn't use any wood for the structure either. Just the floor and cabinets.

It does look like the roof has been leaking, but if no wood is in the walls it isn't going to damage it. I'm betting the roof could be sealed and the damage is just cosmetic. I bet it cleans up and is usable
Almost all laminated walls have aluminum "studding" inside. The wood will be the paneling inside and the floors. Some manufacturers have went to pvc floors because they cant build a camper that wont leak, so the answer is let it leqk and just use plastic everywhere you can lol
