The only travel trailer I know that isn't cheaply made are Livin Lites, and that is because they do not use any wood whatsoever, so a leak won't cause major rot.
If you want a quality travel trailer, you probably will have to find a place that custom builds horse trailers and have them build you one. Mind you, it will be heavier than a mass-produced TT because it will use more insulation, larger wood framing members, and a beefy frame welded/huck bolted in house (as opposed to the underspecced frames off the boat from China.) It will also be more expensive... but 10-20 years from now, it will still be camp ready while most other TTs long since made their one-way trip to the town dump.
