Myself, I'm leary about buying a laminated trailer. Seen so many delaminated trailers on the dealers lot when new, at the campgrounds, and on the road.
I would go smaller for the bit heavier Stick and Tin models and not have to worry about delamination.
After all you really aren't saving any real weight in most circumstances. They put in smaller holding tanks, lighter duty frames, smaller propane tanks, and then are only saving around 500 to 700 lbs lbs. Load less, bring less water, and you may not really need an Ultralite camper.
I still lean towards sticks and tin myself... but I have found that some construction isn't laminated fiberglass and wood. Adzel construction isn't the old fiberglass over luan.. Its fiberglass over adzel... zero chance of rot, mold, mildew etc.
Here is the model that my wife and I are considering
Apex 288bhs50 gallon fresh water
35 gallon gray
35 gallon black
31 ft 2 in overall length
4882 lbs UVWR with 2118 lb cargo capacity
7000 lb GVWR
Not bad capacities at all and totally half ton towable.
Thanks!
