EU standards for trailers are very different than in the US and few export. Generally I think you can say this leads to a better quality trailer there. Fuel prices and roads and in most places distance, drive the size you are more likely to see there. Many Europeans really have no real clue as to the distances involved i.e. our trip last summer from Ohio to California was thousands of miles. We chose a large teardrop trailer custom made for us, all aluminum frame stress panel construction that tips the scale at 1600# and towed by a Subaru Outback. Most trailers made in the US are 40+ year old construction using wood/stick construction, many of the appliances are years behind their EU counterparts technologically.
I would and did not want most of what is out there in the US, of those that are there are, only two manufacturers I would, Airstream and Forest River. Airstream is old technology but very tried and true and there are a LOT of old ones around. Forest River in some of their models use the technology, aluminum frame and composites that was used in ours.
