Aluminum Superstructure

There's a label on my 2001 MADP that says "Aluminum Superstructure".

What does that mean?

I think that means all the framing above the floor is aluminum. On our coach, the basement framing is steel, then there is a wood floor (2x framing with fiberglass batt insulation similar to a house) then the framing above the floor is all aluminum including the roof.

Attached is a picture of my coach in the early build stage......you can get a good idea of the aluminum superstructure referred to. Stewart has it right, you can see the aluminum framing on the sidewalls.

Yes, very helpful.

So it's "aluminum on the inside & fiberglass on the outside", right?
