It is easy to classify something as cheap when it is inexpensive. As we were deciding just what the heck we wanted, we looked at a lot of stuff.
Yes, I would call some of the single axle campers cheap in price, but they cost less than some decked out pop-ups; so what would you expect. ;)
However, I am sure they will provide as much fun as the 60’s vintage 14 footer we started with. We were a young couple, not much money, easy to tow and park, life was good. We eventually move into wilderness canoe camping and bought a pop-up for the more populated areas.
We also do reenactment where all of our gear is pre-1830’s but that is another story. :B
Now it is a TT and a shift in priorities. Time is much less of a factor so if it takes a week or two week or more it does not matter. The least of my concerns is what someone else thinks of my TT choice.
