These are well built trailers. Better quality than the mass produced junk being by most manufactures today. I ran into one of these at Road America where we were camp hosting this summer. Had a chance to talk to the owner and tour the unit. He was pulling with a VW I believe a Tourieg Diesel. I also questioned the ball hitch. WD hitch not needed or recommended by factory. He has pulled over 10,000 miles with it and no sway problems. Unit is well balanced. Cute little trailer but to small for us. He travels alone. His wife doesn't like camping.

Hussbuss, I’m told only the the Anderson system will work with this set-up & it does uses chains instead of bars. Any other solution is not only discouraged by the factory but, in addition, simply will not work, as you imply above.
A word about quality... my tour guide told me that the owners “don’t want anything done cheaply”. All of us appreciate that tenet but how many of us are actually willing to pay for it? As I walked along the manufacturing line, I found that a every part was heavy & substantial -- seemingly equal to its task. I was pleasantly surprised to see home grown parts being fabricated right there in the shop -- no importing from China as far as I could see? Even so, the word “quality”, in so far as our discussion, means different things to different people.
If, to you, “quality” means 6” crown molding, dual lazy-boy recliners and slides that increase your square footage, this is not the manufacturer for you. Oliver may be your choice of manufacturers if:
• To you, “quality” means longevity, quality parts, and innovative design.
• You’re willing to pay a stipend for the knowledge that the travel trailer is “made in America by United States citizens”.
• A Euro sleek, ultra modern, marine-like, contemporary aesthetic is your cup of tea. Indeed, Heather referred to the TT as “a yacht on wheels” and that’s very consistent with it’s marine-like ambiance.
