Any "sleeper" brand trailers?

I am wondering if there is a "sleeper" brand TT that is quality made and cheaper. What I mean by "sleeper" is a brand that is lesser known or unheard of that many ppl. overlook or that dealers want to get rid of.

The best example of a "sleeper" product that I can give would be the TCL brand televisions with built in Roku. These TV's are amazing quality and feature filled for the price.

I ,d stick with a all fiberglass unit,less leaks , nothing kills a rv like a leak that can,t be found.

I think you would have to consider one of the fiberglass clamshell brands. Escape is probably the most nicely appointed, while still being somewhat affordable. Especially if you compare it to Oliver and Bigfoot.

And I think all three of those would be considered quality constructed.

There is not and has never been any one size fits all in RV's. There are good and bad in every maker, price range and construction type.

This is not a TV adertisement, I am in the IT Tech field and the TV is just an example that I could think of. I really have my eye on a Lance trailer but I am going to have to sell some blooed and get a second job or find a good deal on a used one to be able to afford it.

The Winnebago line of Minnies is certainly not sleepers but a very good quality line of trailers. Last March I upgraded from a 2101DS to a larger 2250DS. I certainly would not have upgraded after 4 years with the same brand to the new trailer if the quality had not been good. The internal frame of the trailer is aluminum with a walk on rubber roof. The only reason a trailer would be cheap is if it is built cheap. In the Winnebago line you do get what you pay for in my opinion.

RV manufacturing is not rocket science. and in saying that I would stay away from entry level rv's. they are the worst investment in rv's. wood frames and poor quality. you will spend more time working on them then enjoying them. bite the bullet and get a better quality rv with a metal frame. they don't shake apart when going down the road
