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...

Don't make yourself crazy reading into this stuff . As someone just said, don't let 3 people with bad experiences outweigh the hundreds of happy owners, the happy ones do not complain here.
Pick the floorplan that works for you well within your trucks specs. Lightweight trailers hold up as long as you don't go rock climbing with them and you MAINTAIN them regularly.
Don't worry so much about the brand. Having a good dealer to stand behind you in case you have an issue is important.
KZ as well as Jayco and Lance are good customer service companies and many people are very happy with their Coachmen trailers.
Also, look at livin lite (camplite) trailers, see if any of those floorplans will work for you. They do not use wood in the build, nothing to rot.
Yes a lighter trailer will have lighter components, therefore you have to be careful to not overload it.
Look at the tire as well as the axle rating of the trailer you choose. Make sure they math adds up to haul the gross weight . ( gross not dry weights) .
Regarding tires, heat is your enemy on any tire. Having the correct size tire in the first place , correct tire pressure, not overloading them and buy new ones every 3 years or so is my best advise. I have never had a TT tire issue .
Use common sense, if you bang into a curb, get out and check the tire...the whole tire. I have seen people run over curbs and scrap concert islands in gas stations and never stop to see if the trailer tire in still in one piece. I guess they think if its rolls and doesn't go flub flub flub, then its o.k.
