Opinions on 2014-2018 Travel Trailers
I've been out of the RV adventure for a few years now. I've had a 5th wheel and a Class C. I'm looking for a 20-25 foot bumper pull, 2014-2018. I know that all travel trailers are not created equal...

For structural integrity, a trailer built with 2-piece marine-style fiberglass "clamshell" construction is hard to beat.
Basically, they only have one seam - and it's not located on the roof - so water leaks are a lot less of a concern.
They don't use a rubber roof membrane, so there's not much roof upkeep required.
They also tend to use fiberglass rather than wood for framing and furniture.
Finally, they avoid slideouts and toy-hauler configurations, both which add a lot of trouble-prone components.
Brands to look for include Bigfoot, Escape, Casita and Scamp.
Oliver is another recent entry, but AFAIK, they weren't around in 2014-2018.
