Heavy TT = Bigger Truck = more Cost. There is little correlations between weight and quality. There is some degree of correlation between cost and quality.

Disagree here.
There was recently a thread here of a destroyed 30' TT, and the poster was saying how poorly it was built.... The video showed how weak the frame was.... Things that stuck out IMO... The gvwr was pretty low for a 30', and the frame was VERY thin. About 4".

My 30' TT has a HEAVY 10" thick frame and a GVWR of 11,500.
Obviously it will be far stronger. And of course will require a stronger truck to pull it.

The lite weight TTs serve a need. The trouble is when people start expecting too much out of them.

I would have to agree with Huntindog on this I never seen a light weight Excel, New Horizon, Spacecraft mfg, Continental Forks, Travel Supreme, DRV, Teton. I know their weight far exceeds my Forest River and Keystone and so does their quality.

A lot of families do not own heavy duty trucks and the market caters to the market who pull with half tons and SUV'S.

I owned one light model and did not care for it and traded after one trip. The frame was a joke.
