In have no interest in livin lite one way or the other, but in fairness to them, I'll make this observation. They may be going through some growing pains right now, because as I understand it, they have been bought by Thor ( also parent of Airstream ).
I was recently in conversation with them on behalf of a friend who was considering a livin' lite. We had some questions regarding wheels, tire choice and the use of weight distributing hitches on their trailers. I had several emails and a couple of phone conversations with their sales guy at the factory, as well as one of the engineers. I will say they answered all my questions.
So if a person finds that those trailers might meet their needs, then it could be worth going the extra mile to get one.
As for cost, yes they are somewhat pricey. I found that the general pricing of them seemed to be somewhere between a regular white box camper and the price of an Airstream.
For sure, if you want aluminum, especially in structural components like frames, there is going to be a cost associated with it, if for no other reasons that the skilled labor to correctly weld aluminum is more costly.
