No. Mine is steel, not aluminum.

The chassis is steel. The floor joists are wood. The wall studs are aluminum. The roof trusses are wood. Its all in the brochure.

I think the interior walls are wood studs. When I pulled the black tank back flow preventer out and put in a shelf, the stud that I secured the shelf to is wood.

I think you are 100% correct and the outside walls are indeed aluminum with wood roof trusses and floor framing.
For better or worse, I've made so many modifications to my WildCat that I'm intimately aware of how it was built!
BTW, the back wall is the only one that is not vac. formed and kept somewhat hollow except for some fiberglass insulation so that wires for the tail lights and such could be run. I'm not sure if the back wall is aluminum or would framed though ~ anybody know?
