Check out some of the various "lite" RVs & compare their quality to the other RVs for yourself. You might be surprised. If someone has actually owned a "lite" RV & has negative comments, you should probably listen.
The materials & processes are much better today than they were even 10 years ago. Some things are lighter and stronger. Check dealers stock & reviews from "lite" owners; then make an informed decision. Good luck & happy trails.
