If you want a smaller TT, have deep pockets and want something to last, look at Oliver. Someone on this forum posted about one they recently ordered.
If I were looking again, I'd be starting with Outdoors RV or Nash, but don't particularly like some of the design features on Nash that I've seen (like pass-through door is on the small side). One good feature with both these is that their frame is heavy duty off-road and built in-house by Nash and comes with higher-rated axles. Having a non-Lippert frame would desireable to me.
I would go to an RV show and spend lots of time crawling under TTs and looking at how things are put together inside.
Also, I would look into the dealer "quality" that you'd be buying from and see what you can find out. They range from outstanding to terrible and if you get a terrible one, an otherwise excellent RV can become a nightmare if things go wrong. The first dealer we had 3 TTs ago was a nightmare, while our current one is great. Some manufacturers/plants are also better than others.
That would be me. The Oliver is second to none on quality. There is nothing really to rot and the inner and outer hulls are thick, hand laid fiberglass like a boat. The only place for water to possibly enter is the vent and window openings. If any gets in, it will end up in the "bilge" and you just drain it out. Built to last a lifetime, but with a price to match.
