Weight also comes with quality, ala Northwood, Outdoors RV, Lance, etc.
You have to look at how far you will travel and how many nights on the road. My retirement RV will be one of the above brands but for now I'm with cheaper, lighter options. We camped in a PUP for 8 years and it was great except taking down in the rain. Will soon be owners of a 5th Wheel that is a good brand but lite model which has tradeoffs. Since we'll camp mostly long weekends with occassional longer trips, I can live with the tradeoffs until I cut back on work hours.
