I had the same question 3 years ago when I started looking for my first TT.
I sought the BEST regardless of price and toured a lot of TT's. A main demand that I had was NO WOOD IN THE ROOF SYSTEM, period. This alone eliminated a huge number of brands. Bottom line, it came down to Airstream and Evergreen Ever Lite line. The latter has NO wood in the construction only in the furniture. A composite floor, I cannot stress how important that is. Go on the Airstream Forum and see the number of rotted floors. Be aware that Ever Lites cost more than the run of the mill white box, about %25 or so.
They are all composite, even the floor is sandwich of aluminum and foam, as I said NO wood.
We now have 3 full seasons under our belt, including Alaska and the majority of states,we spend about 6-7 months per yr on the road.
This is our experience.
