I have a Camplite 10 2015 model year, been a great camper, the only problem I have had is the fridge would not work on propane when traveling but I remedied that. The advertised weight is 2290 and we have scaled it at DOT scales and cat scales fully loaded, water, all gear, 2 golf cart batteries, 2 propane tanks and I weigh 3300 lbs, (wife likes lots of stuff in the kitchen could probably dump a few things but!!!) no quality things wrong except 1 missing valance over the kitchen window, I can live with that though. I have a non lifted truck and Rieco-titan jacks always has lifted camper high enough with room to spare even if I wanted to lift it, no u shaped dinette but we wanted that as we can get up and walk around in the camper and not have to squeeze by each other, did not like the TV set up so I upgraded myself to a 32" and blu-ray. My wife is fairly short so you are right the cabinets are high so we carry a little short stool from wally world does the trick for her, as for the cabinets in the rear we use 1 for clothes rear 1 an the other for kitchen stuff haven't noticed any COG problems mind you I have air shocks on mine, wife likes to pack heavy. All in all we love the camper and it's very tough wind flopped it over 2 years ago and the only things that broke were the extension brackets and TV and blu-ray, not even a broken light cannot complain.

I hear you. I think I just waited too late to pull the trigger on ordering a unit. Had I ordered a half year earlier, I doubt I would have any cause for sadness over the camper. There was just no way to know except in hindsight.
I had the wind knock over my old camper, so I can empathize there. That's pretty good that you suffered no more damage than to your media setup.
I put together a solar panel setup for mine for when I'm out in the booneys. I have had no problem going on just the standard marine battery since then.
I am just so conflicted, because the camper looks awesome in general. It just has so many inconveniences that really get to me at times.
