Information Please RE: Winnebago 1708 FB

We have sold our 30 foot Flagstaff after 6 years of travels and many adventures. Now we are looking at a major downsize and considering a Winnebago 1708.
One feature I really liked about our Flagstaff was the aluminum framing. There was virtually aluminum framing everywhere.
So I am wondering if this same framing is present on the smaller Winnebago models such as the 1708FB.
Unfortunately the closest dealer to me is some 100 miles away or I would just go and see for myself.
Anyway, if anyone knows the answer to this I would appreciate it.

TIA

In your Flagstaff you had all aluminum framing, and all foam board insulation.

The Winnebago will have wood framing in the front wall, floor, and roof trusses. But even worse you have batten insulation in these areas as well, without no water vapor retarder. Do not use the Winnebago in colder temps, unless you closely monitor your water vapor inside the trailer.
