Generally you could probably say a 'tin & stick' travel trailer would qualify as entry level. As a rule, fewer bells and whistles compared to hard sided trailers.
"Tin and stick" (aluminum siding and wood studs) does not define entry level. There are still some mid-level TT that use this construction.
No slide out is entry level. No or very limited "entertainment center". Cheap/thin mattresses. Thin/flexible plywood under the mattress. No "shielding" under the belly. No oven, small microwave, small refrigerator.
The funny thing is, those can all be upgraded for a few hundred dollars (manufacturers cost) and suddenly the price jumps by $5,000 or $10,000 !
