Something to look for when comparing brands is the heat and a/c ducted through the trailer?
Is there switches that control lights, or only the light mounted switch?
Compare the axle ratings of the different trailers also. One we considered used the aprox tw (tongue weight) added to the axle rating to have a higher gvwr. 2-440lb axles but had a 9500lb gvwr (or so- would have to look it up for the exact. Trailer we bought has 2-5klb axles for a 9975lb gvwr as a comparison.
Look at the amount of storage, size of storage doors, etc.
Had we considered a non slide trailer, the Jay Flight 26BH would have been on the short list. The Swift has a lower gvwr, and a few less standard features and options.
Good luck in your search!
