No - in the US, people blindly buy what the manufacturers produce, and thus there is no incentive for them to make things better. I Googled Jay Smart travel trailer and saw lots of hits.

Don't go gaga on your TT's towing capacity. What's more important is what it can carry - payload.

What a ridiculous statement! People have different wants and needs, so there are many different models with different features. What works great for me may not work at all for you. Just because you don't like something does not mean it is not perfect for someone else.

It's nice to have many choices. That's why RV manufactures come up with different models - people buy what they like, and if they aren't buying some model, it gets discontinued.

.

The problem is not weights and floor layouts it's that continued interiors of dull dark outdated 70‘s look! If only manufacturers can give us some other choices on interiors. So you say "people buy what they like" is not neccessary true they have no choice either you buy or don't go camping, me I rather go camping.

This last entry is the perfect response to my question more than weight concerns. I do like the modern, low-slung exteriors and light weights, but it is the interior styles I like in the Caravans and Jay Smart.

I've found quite a few 24' trailers I like, but most have a dinette, or a couch that sits upright and doesn't have arms (doesn't look like a good napping couch). The Jay Smart has a conversation pit (facing couches) where 4+ people could sit, hang out, and carry on a conversation. Or, Mrs WhO and I can sit comfortably reading or watching a movie.
