Is aluminum worth the $$$?

[rideon]

I am in the market for a new trailer. Rust bugs me so I am leaning towards a charamac elite or mission brand trailer. So, what do you think? It it worth 4 grand more over steel? Also, anyone out there with experience with mission brand trailers recently? They are Priced better than the charamac here in Utah. Any advice or experience in this regard would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!

I really like my Mission. Pretty much a complete custom and I defiantly paid for it but I'm very happy with the product. For what I wanted to do, I found only Mission and Featherlite were in the running for the level of customization I wanted with Mission being the better value.

just in resale alone yes.hard to give a 10 yr old steel trailer away and the alloy is worth more than u payed. I have never lost more than a grand in 6 yrs with any alloy trailer most keep a few yrs and sell for what I payed

Nice looking mission trailer! I appreciate everyone's input. After much deliberation, I went with a charmac elite tri-sport. Should last forever.....excited to pick it up!!!
