We just bought a lite 32 foot larado. I would have to agree that it has plenty of insulation and is constructed well. Had it out this winter at hunting spot with temps at high of 14 one weekend and 20 the next. I had to get on roof to knock snow off slide because it was not melting quick enough. We had one electric heater and used propane to bring up to temp. Used 2 30# tanks for 3 solid weekends. Plan on getting another electric for nex season Main frame all heavy steal construction however the upper deck is all alluminum. It is on 2 5K# axles so I have like 2300 payload. We have only had for a couple of trips but seams to work for us. I pull with a 2011 Chevy 2500 D/A and reall can hardly notice it is back there. Trip from STL to DAL we got about 11.5 and had 28mph winds in OK did not feel unstable to me. Fresh tank is small 30gl but have 30black and 60 of gray. Plenty for a weekend in my opinion. But would require full hookup for much more.
