Best lite weight? Jayco TT or not to Jayco TT
Hello, new to forum. Looking into a lightweight TT. So far it appears to be maddening trying to decide who makes the best for the least. Right now it seems that the Jayco XLITE 195 seems to be a reall...

Jayco has been around forever so they must be doing something right.
No excuse for them but the `lite' trailers are lighter in weight for some reason and part of it is lower quality materials ie. frame, cabinets, countertops and they sell for less. Thus the companies can't afford to spend much time on making them and workmanship suffers.
It was the same story when we were in the sailboat world. It took almost as many manhours to build a small boat as a large boat but the companies could not charge as much due to market competition and the desire of the buyer to not spend much.
I like to do business with a dealer close to my home so I can build a relationship where they might go the extra mile to solve any problems I might find.
