Who is the top RV manuf. in quality?
So if I ever manage to get out from my trailer from hell, I will want to get something that isn't junk. Who do you think makes the best travel trailers?

Depends on quality. Airstream and Livin' Lite trailers are generally more resistant to leaks because of their construction. Northwood/Nash/Arctic fox trailers have good reviews. Of course, one can't discount the fiberglass "egg" trailers which have a following.
Quality can vary substantially. I've looked at trailers that seemed to be fairly well-built, but when I turned the A/C on, I'd get a face-full of water, and there were other design flaws.
There is one nice thing about Airstreams. If you can get used to no slide (only one model had a slide, and it is no longer made), then those will last a long time. There are places that will, for about $10,000 take what is essentially a shell, and refurbish it with modern furniture and appliances. For significantly more, you can buy a restoration, with period furniture for that time.
Of course, one can always find a place that makes custom travel trailers. That way, you can get things like a one-piece aluminum roof specced that is bent around the top, built in generators and gas tanks, and so on.
