I'm not wondering so much if it's lighter than aluminum, I'd be curious to know how much lighter is it than canvas... Not just it's own weight, but does it hold less glue or paint? Of course many have used linen with good results too.
The design I'm building is rather large and will be holding a king size bed; it will be pulled by either a Subaru Impreza or Kia Soul so I am definitely looking at weight as one of the bigger challenges. To that end, I'm also using backpacking gear as much as possible for cooking, shopping for the smallest AC I can find for it, and will be looking at weights of various mattresses. Cooking on a daily basis with propane, I've learned that I only need one bottle as the one I'm using at my house right now has lasted over a month on a two burner camp stove... I may even forgo that and just stick with one pound bottles and refill them at home.
Yes, I've been looking at the picolight as well. Someday I may build a new frame for this one based on the picolight frame and using thinwall chromoly tubular steel
