No, it is NOT aluminum framed. The SIDEWALLS (laminated construction) is aluminum framed. The floor is constructed of 2x3 spruce joists, the front and rear structure are constructed of 1x2 and 2x2 spruce components and the roof "rafters" are wooden. The only part of the Hideout fifth wheel that is constructed with aluminum is the lamination parts which is the sidewalls. Otherwise, it's a "wooden framed fifth wheel trailer.
ADDED: Don't get me wrong, the Hideout fifth wheel is a "well built Keystone fifth wheel" (built with essentially the same "quality" as all the other brands) produced by Keystone, but there are some significant differences that extend beyond the "different upholstery, cushions and appliances. Open the front storage compartment on a Cougar, look up at the construction above your head, then open the front compartment on a Hideout and compare what you'll see. Either one is a "good trailer", but not built with the same framing materials.
