trailer quality

We are thinking of changing from a high quality truck camper to bumper pull trailer...... can I ask advice of good quality trailers in the 22 foot class with walk around bed..... or maybe ask for those that should stay away from...... I'm assuming when they say ( micro weight, light weight & etc) that they are using less materials & other cutting of stuff to lower weight...... Have a ram dually now...... More interested in strong good quality over light weight...... Thank You
  • As a very general statement from best on down
    Airstream, fiberglass eggs, Oliver, Northwoods rv, outdoors rv, Lance, now you get into the true mass marketed units, others may (and no doubt will) differ, but here is my opinion based on what I've seen.
    Grand Design, K-Z, Jayco, Winnebago, and then the thundering herd.
    Some upper end models from Keystone or Forest River may have more fans than others, but as a generalization, this will give you a start.
    As a starting point consider warranties, their value is questionable because of dealer support, but some lines offer longer warranties which COULD be seen as a sign of manufacturer support.
  • I’m happy with my WInnebago and the whole towable Micro Minnie line is within your length limits.
  • Oliver and Lance come to mind.
    You could also check out Airstream if you can live without a slide....we can't.
