ultralight contruction

In the market for a TT. Im trying to do my homework and having a tough time determining what construction materials and practices are used brand to brand on what the industry calls "ultralights". Specifically aluminum constructed units..

Im considering the "bullet premier" units but Id like to know how they all stack up..

Most importantly the floor construction (lots of soggy complaint posts) and the lamination material and techniques.. for example are they all vacuum bonded? I know from my racing days that vacuum bonds are strongest..

I did a ton of searching and cannot find much. Can anyone point me to a source please..

Also any comments on the Bullet Premiers and competition to those units would be appreciated.

thanks

Oh yeah this is my first post and unfortunately for you all it wont be the last :)
  • The words "ultralight, lite, super-lite and such" mean nothing. Each manufacturer has their own definition of what they mean. As above, compare actual frame specs, wall construction, cabinet construction and axle capacities. In my opinion, they don't build trailers too heavy, but they do cheaper proper construction and claim those models as a lightweight.
  • We had a Bullit and really liked it, pulled it about 30,000 over a three year period. I recommend that you check out the keystone forum,
  • my best advice... go to the factory and take a tour....

    very limited information... on how, what, where.. any brand.. and most if not all are made with same materials, items, parts. just different buildings/companies, and workers.
    and vacuum formed are NOT used in lower end units... just 100k plus.

    can not even get wiring or plumbing layouts...

    Best of LUCK.

    my opinion... "Lite/Light/Extra/Extreme/Ultra" trailer are a Use and be sorry.
