If you're towing with a pickup or Suburban, the aluminum weight savings is worth the extra money in fuel and wear and tear.
Years ago when I towed with a 4mpg Suburban ,I tried all the gimmics to lower drag .,skirts,bubble on the front of the trailer, ect. Best improvement came from the roof mounted air deflector,once I found the sweet spot. But when I got rid of over a 1000# with my first aluminum trailer , I suddenly picked up 1 1/2 mpg Dont overlook the drag caused by unnecessary extra height. ...An extra foot or so of added height can add a LOT of drag . .
