Shocked at lack of quality
Well, went to look at the Aerolite 315BHSS and 319BHSS this weekend and I was shocked at what I would call lack of quality. Maybe I am looking at the wrong level of TT or have too high of expectatio...

You are looking at the wrong level if your want quality. Let us just set aside manufacturers and brands for a moment. 'Ultralight' and its various spelling permutations points in the direction of "flimsy." Most manufacturers lighten a RV by lightening every piece they control that goes into it. Then, the brand you are looking at is entry level, built to meet a lowest possible price point, thus labor time has to be minimized. There is seldom enough time to do anything right, let alone time to worry about final product cosmetics.
The tricky part for RVs is, when you move up the price scale, it can go in the direction of real build quality, or it can go in the direction of glitz, additional features, increasing the count of slideout rooms and using flashy but equally cheap materials, still poorly built.
There are few brands in this industry that I would trust for attention to build quality, fewer still that provide value for money. I won't get into brands because for most people here the brand they bought is either the best or worst.
