If I'm gonna spend $30K + on a trailer, shouldn't I have a certain level of expectations about build quality?? Just because I'm not gonna use my RV as often as my truck, that doesn't give them the right to arbitrarily decide that all trailers in a certain price range should be poorly designed, assembled and start falling apart within a few months of use.
When someone calls and asks my opinion (not holding my breath) I would tell them that people trade up, and if you give them a well designed, sturdy, reliable and affordable ( it can co-exist), then when people do trade, they will be more likely to look at the current mfg because they had a good experience with them.
I think there are a few builders who do make a very reliable product that alot of people are very happy with (Scamp, Casita and a few others) but they don't have a floorplan that will fit my needs.
I'm not naive enough to think that things wont break and stuff does happen, but when you're already starting out with a marginally designed and assembled trailer, then the effects will be amplified.
