Just like there are starter homes there are starter (entry level) trailers & RVs of all types.
These would be RVs that are lower cost, have fewer amenities and usually lower quality construction and materials. For example formica counter tops instead of stone or corian. Cabinets made out of luan or pressboard instead of hard wood. Very basic interiors.
If these entry level RVs are well maintained you can still expect many years of trouble free camping.
I tend to agree with the points above, especially the lower quality materials more so over the amenities, especially if you are using it for recreation vs full time living. I would also toss out there small "space". no slide vs single , vs double, etc.
I do consider my 2018 Starcraft Satellite entry level more so because of the materials such as the "plush" matteress (queen size nonetheless) being made entirely from batting type materials and pressed board cabinets than for not having washer/dryer or dishwasher. I do like it has a dry bath!
Since it's just for recreation, i'm fine with not having those - and at some point, i'll upgrade to a one with better materials, more space and amenities.
