We found the floor plan we liked and looked at at least 7 different manufacturer's versions of that floor plan. Some were obviously poorer quality and a few stood out above the others. We went with one of those that appeared to rank higher on the quality scale and had the features we liked. So far, so good.
As has been mentioned, when you hook that thing to the back of a truck and bounce it down country roads and sail down Interstate highways, it's gonna take a beating. I'm sure wear and tear varies a lot depending on whether you travel hundreds of miles a year or thousands. We don't generally travel long distances, so we would fall in the hundreds category.
