Hey Music man.
I don't own an Aerolite but I considered one of their models when we were shopping this past spring and summer. The one I looked at was the 282 with the triple-double corner bunks. I'm sure this isn't the model you are considering because it doesn't have the outdoor kitchen, but they are all probably pretty similar with regard to materials used and quality of construction.
In general, I thought the aerolites I looked at were okay, but I ended up liking a few other manufacturers better. Fit and finish on the units I looked at was not as good as I had hoped. I knew better than to expect Arctic Fox or Lance quality but I did have some basic expectations and I was let down a little by the Aerolites I looked at... could be for a number of reasons, but that was my impression. There were a four of other things that turned me away as well. The tall cabinet doors seemed quite flimsy and wouldnt close properly because there was too much flex. I think this was due to the decorative glass inserts. I also did not care for the drapes instead of hard sliding doors for closing off the master bedroom... but that may be particular to the layout I was looking at.
I ended up looking more closely at the jayco white hawk, the bullet premier and the Cruiser Viewfinder Signature. For a number of reasons, I ended up with the Viewfinder and am happy so far, albeit with very limited actual camping under my belt at this point.
Only you can be the judge when you walk through the models you are considering. The Aerolite might be just what you are looking for and you might find the quality just fine... I know there can be some variability in that. Just wanted you to give some things to consider based on my experience.
Good luck and have fun in your search.
