IMHO, solely based on some of the posts here and other forums, the older units were built better than what's out there today. My trailer is 16 years old and knock on wood, I had less issues with it than many with new trailers.
I tend to not agree with that statement. We are now on our third hybrid, and so far, we noticed how improved they have become.
From a Travelstar, to a Palomino, to a Roo 23ws, the improvements are there!
They are so much easier to set up (no more bungies), easier to winterize (from outside), easier to clean the black tank (there's an inlet outside), and I'm sure I forgot a few things!
Plus, I don't think the material quality has suffered.

My observation there was leak problems from poor construction practices on the earlier hybrids and lite trailers, especially with certain MFG's
