Rockwood Mini vs. Jay Feather Ultra vs. KZ Spree Escape?
Any opinions on any of the above would be much appreciated, especially related to quality. Our tow vehicle is such that we're limited to choosing a small TT. Thanks in advance!

Pay close attention to the allowable hitch weight of your Nissan, and the dry tongue weights of the trailers you look at. Realize that when loaded this tongue weight will easily increase by 100 lbs or more. If the fresh water tank is in front, when filled it will really add a lot to the tongue. I had bought a new Rockwood 2304s (23'8" and a slide) in 2005, about 375 lb listed tongue weight, and when loaded (plus WD hitch, gotta add that weight too!) I think the tongue may have been over the 600 lbs rated hitch weight of my Mountaineer, because I bent a rear leaf spring. The Rockwood had a 30 gallon fresh tank in front plus two LP tanks. Too heavy! Plus, I definitely needed my Equal-i-zer weight distributing hitch. It was scary to tow a 23' TT with a 111" wheelbase tug... handling was not good.
I assume you may be looking at the Jayco 197 or 20M, which have slides. Those have 425-450 lb dry tongue weights.
