There's not a trailer/RV out there that I'd consider "built well" unless you get up above a half million. The manufactures all skimp on quality and throw them together. They want less weight so everyone can tow it and lower costs to increase profits. You end up buying a Styrofoam cooler on wheels with a few sticks here and there supporting it in the showroom. Watch this video and keep in mind this is what the manufacturer posts on YouTube to show people how they build RV's. I think they must add amphetamines to the employees coffee or beat them.

So your advise is, unless you have 1/2 million to spend, find something else to do other than RVing?
That would not be my advice. My advice would be unless you are handy with tools, or have the money to hire somebody to fix every little thing that goes wrong, you should find something else to do other than RVing.
Cost of the RV has nothing to do with it. I was just helping fix broken stuff in a $1.1m Newmar King Aire yesterday!
