Good advice

Check out the Classifieds section at FiberglassRV - Used models come up for sale occasionally there.

One caution: Before buying a used model, be absolutely certain to verify that the current owner has a valid title for it!

In many states, RVs under 4000 lbs. GVW don't require a title to sell - which makes Casitas and Scamps very attractive targets for thieves: They're much easier to sell to unsuspecting buyers.

Don't accept any excuses from the owner for not having the title!

WInnebago has a number of smaller TTs that are 7 feet wide.

The Ember brand might be worth looking at. I have looked at a couple of them and they are geared towards boondockers if that interests you. They seemed to be higher build quality compared to most. I didn't look them over closely, but the floors aren't "squishy" in them. They are in most, and for me that's an instant no.

I don't think they would be lightweight though.

Did you look at Escape? I liked them a lot when I was looking.

In an era when the build quality of the average RV is pretty bad, all of these brands are well above par.

Scamp is another brand of small trailers with an avid following, although perhaps a tad lower on the quality scale.

Personally, I own a 2021 Casita, and absolutely love it - No complaints about the build quality or buying experience whatsoever.
