After the shakeup in 2008 when a lot of RV makers went under or got bought up, the RV industry survived on sacrificing everything for price (if they went bankrupt, the least of their worry would be customer lawsuits.) The only exception to this are class B rigs which make money by price, not volume.
Except for a few TT makers, almost all of them will be going as cheap as possible, from using fibgerglass-backed luan (which will delaminate) to staples for construction, to threading wire of such a cheap gauge that it can't take 1500 watts on a constant basis.
For the absolute best TT, I'd probably go for a Livin' Lite. The "space station" interior may not be homey, but it won't turn into rotted mush if water gets in, due to no wood whatsoever used in its construction. Next best, I'd probably give the nod to Airstream. Next would be the fiberglass "egg" trailers (Casitas for example.) Then, Northwood/Nash/Arctic Fox, perhaps Lance (but I an not sure if Lance makes four season TTs with a generator). After that, the others.
