23 RLSW Frame material?

Hi All,
We’re considering a 23RLSW (fiberglass sides) and wondering if the structure is wood or aluminum. It’s not listed in the “specs” that accompany the listing.

More generally is there a way to tell or a rule of thumb about the frame, for example do all the FB-sided TTS have aluminum frames? Or do Jay Feathers have them? Is there a Secret Decoder ring somewhere that I’ve missed?

Also, I did look thru the Wood vs Aluminum siding survey and comments. I mention this because I’m a little leery of aluminum siding on a wood frame. Have had too many rusted screws just fall out. Have the problems cited been resolved on more recent models?

Will appreciate your insights and experiences!

Dave.

What year? I know that the current rigs are aluminum.

Arghh, I see now, Thanks!
After your response I googled the year, model and the word “brochure”.
Sure enough there’s the Jayco link as well as a dozen other outfits that want to show detailed specs, brochures, manuals and some want to sell you one.
I’ll get the hang of this www.thingy yet.
