That's easy, and it's not all about
weight alone. Many, if not most, of us prefer FGRV's over sticky construction because they last and last and last.
Although numbers posted earlier suggest that there weren't all that many SCAMPS made, I'll almost bet that 90% of those ever built, minus any involved in accidents, fires etc, are still on the road. Can anyone make that claim for any brand of sticky..... Most of those from before 1980, and many, many built after 1980, have all fallen apart from water
leaks etc.
And like my earlier comment about Rino Liner; Unlike love,
fiberglass is forever.....
BTW: Airstreams are not sticky's
