What was that saying, "A poor man buys everything twice"
Unfortunately there's very little choice as far as quality manufacturing is concerned. Grand Design set a pretty good standard when they were new, but appear to have fallen in the with the rank and file since.
I would gladly spend an extra thousand or two for a known higher quality unit that is otherwise identical to the rest.

Ever look at a small trailer? For some reason in the RV industry small equates with cheap. Only decent small trailer is an Airstream, but they are not worth anywhere near the price they ask.
RV industry also equates small with entry level.
Hey RV industry. I want a SMALL 22/24ft high quality trailer. I do not want entry level, I do not want cheap,I will never want large! Are you listening?
Actually, there are some quality smaller trailers out there. Lance, Outdoors RV, and Northwoods all manufacture some pretty good units. Yeah, the quality control bug bites them too, but the materials in general are a step up.
Then there are the fiberglass shell trailers: Oliver, Bigfoot, Escape, Casita, etc. Some of those are definitely pricy now, but you do get a much more robust package in my opinion.
