Toad Campers
I am thinking about buying a basic model Toad Camper, made in North Carolina. I mainly want a place to sleep at night when traveling across country or on camping trips. Does anyone out there have on...

The things that jumped out at me right away from the photos:
1. The paint at the trim edge below the table doesn't go all the way to the bench edge... It looks like they just didn't finish the trim work for it.
2. There are no cushions.
3. The benches either don't open, for use as storage, or don't open, for access to the utilities they contain (that's a lot of wasted space for such a small trailer).
4. The doors on the storage area over the bed aren't hung straight. I tried to discount this as an optical illusion, but it just didn't work - you can see the true edges at the top and bottom of the storage area, and the doors clearly aren't hung true.
5. The trim on the edges of the dinette booth is cheap, poorly applied, and ineffective (coming off/fraying at the bottom).
6. The windows aren't fully trimmed - look at the bottom corners and you can see where a square hole was cut for the window with the triangular notches at the corners of the rounded windows just blocked in but not painted or trimmed to fit in with the rest of the wall.
7. The table can't be lowered to the same height as the dinette benches so that the dinette booth can be used as a bed, another strange choice for a small trailer.
My 5 year old inexpensive entry-level trailer (is put together and/or holding up much better than that trailer.
