A number of manufacturers use welded aluminum framing for the superstructures of TT's, but I don't see any that use it for the actual base frame of the units.
I wonder what physical size and weight (and cost!) aluminum pieces would be needed to replace the steel a-frame and main frame of a TT and still maintain the same strength? Perhaps that may be a limiting factor.
If any of you haven't seen this yet, here's an interesting manufacturer that uses a lot of innovative materials. I especially like their bonded composite roofing system that is completely "walk-on."
