General Advice for US Travel Trailers

American and European travel trailers are two completely different animals built for different markets. There are several large American RV manufacturers producing many dozens of different brands under an umbrella company. the large consumer market here makes apples to apples comparisons difficult. Every maker has low cost and high cost units and they are not necessarily indicative of build or materials quality but more representative of basic materials/build processes. As in all things it really depends on what a buyer is looking for in an RV that drives a purchase decision. As an example I would never consider an Airstream mentioned by another poster due to lack of storage space, limited floorplan choices, holding tank size, and the over inflated price. I bought a low price point cheapo that was big on running gear, decent on cabinet storage, and short on interior fluff. In my case it was a very good decision. I find reputation and prestige of little value when I am out enjoying the sites in my native Florida.
