We owned a Springdale 25' trailer before going full-time and loved it. We never had one problem with it and towed it 1000's of miles. When we got "off the road" and wanted another small trailer to go to the near-by parks we looked at Springdales but just couldn't find one with the floor plan we wanted so bought a Hideout, which looks and feels very similar to the Springdale. I think Springdales are a great trailer--and yes, they are considered entry level--but see nothing wrong with that unless you plan to live in it and subject it to constant heavy use. They aren't built for that.
