I am looking to get my first travel trailer. we have narrowed it down to a used modle 22-24 ft with rear bedroom slide out. i was wondering which to get one with aluminum siding or fiberglass i am not sure the pros and cons of each.

 Welcome and glad to meet you!
You might be better off asking your question in a different category as it will get more exposure there.

All other things being the same, the fiberglass sided trailer will be heavier which could affect carrying capacity and could require a more robust tow vehicle.

Fiberglass will look newer longer with a minimum amount of upkeep. Welcome!

Either siding is good.
I think I'd go for the one with the floor plan you like best.
A walk around bed is better than a crawl over bed, if that's in the mix of differences.

Just traded our TT for a class C. We have a big golden retriever and a 6 year old daughter. The pickup cab got smaller and smaller and the potty stops got longer and longer.
