My point isn't that I am disappointed in my trailer -- far from it. I am very happy with it, and I intend to continue to take good care of it. But nothing lasts forever, especially when we take it off-road (slowly, but it's bumpy out there).
My point is that there must be a fair number of folks like me, who want a small tough trailer, rather than luxury. The market used to provide some products that filled this niche, but not now. Which is so strange, since the Australian market (far smaller than ours) provides a wide range of similar options. The advantage of having a market of 300 million people is that as a manufacturer, you can still make a profit by selling to a small fraction of the total. There are economy cars, and luxury cars, and off-road trucks, and so forth.
I just don't know how to persuade American trailer makers that they are missing out on a un-served niche.
Forest River Palomini Off Road - 21 ft, 2921 dry weight, and supposedly set up for off road.
Don't, know if this is what you are thinking of, but there were 2 at the dealer where we bought our Jay Feather.
