The aluminum undergarment of your RV

Hello troy I wanted to tell you the aluminum if its touching pressure treated wood will puncture. That is the reason why the on new construction they use simple spruce not treated on the outside when its cover with aluminum by the siding guy. Just a little heads up hopes that helps

Thank you very much for the warning. It would be horrible to build my home only to find out later that it was all for nothing. I hope to build an insect proof and mouse proof home.

I will check into what amount I will save if I use normal lumber instead of treated lumber. Maybe I can use flashing up the sides of the 2x6 boards and use normal lumber instead. I will see

Thanks
