1500 pounds will be a difficult weight target. many of the suggestions you are getting exceed that.
I've been doing a lot window shopping for lightweights, 2000 pound target, what there is, is limited. I've been finding A-frame folders at 1600-2200 pounds, stripped to the bone pop-ups 1300-1600 (most popular models are more like 2200-3000), and small molded trailers like the 13-foot Scamp at 1200-1600 empty with basic equipment. At these weights, typically desired options like hot water, refrigerator, A/C are heavy enough to push weight up significantly.
I checked Livin Lite, but only their Quicksilver tent trailers come in under 1500, as the smallest (11 foot) Camplite models are over 1500 dry.
I the price of a T@b is too high, I think you will find the prices of these other lightweight options even more of a problem. But I think a Scamp, compared to the T@b, you be getting more RV for your money.
