Hitches are like trucks. Everyone has an opinion. Pulled with a Hijacker dual pivor to 11 years and it was never an issue. Dual pivot is what you want no matter what brand you pick.
All towable RVs except a select couple will have 2x2 sidewalls. So insulation is a mute point unless the mfg used spray foam insulation.
Cougar is a mid priced weekend RV brand. Lots of them on the road, so I guess their OK quality wise.
As far as better brands? Outdoor RV, and Northwood MFG, both family owned smaller mfgs that build on an in house frame instead of a Lippert product. Although recent reports of their quality slipping recently I would still place them near the top of my list to consider. Be aware, their built heavy, so a substsantial truck will be needed. You also need to understand towing a fiver is a different animal. With a fiver its all about your trucks load carrying capacity.
