They also tend to hold their value better than newer entry level RV's, it is not uncommon to find a 10-15 year old fiberglass egg trailer selling for 60-70% of new cost, where a traditional "lite" entry level trailer may be worth 20-30% of original cost at the same age.

Just stepping into many "lite" trailer models I can feel the floor flex under foot compared to stepping into their non "lite" equal size brethren.
