You want the definition of entry level? walk through an Ameri-lite trailer. when we were looking we walked through these. these are as cheap as they come. I thought in a few spots the floor was going to give way! very little in the way of features other than the standard RV options.
This is in no way a put down to those that have one and doesn`t mean they are a lesser RV`er, but compared to other TT`s they are very basic which means cheap($). And no I wouldn`t tell them they own an entry level RV.
I don`t care if you camp next to me even in a truck camper :E :B. as long as you are not a crazy drunk I`ll enjoy your company!
What's interesting is that the only complaints you hear about Ameri-lite is from those that didn't buy it. Those of us that did find they go year after year without issues.
The floor of a Ameri-lite is solid wood on 13 inch joist, not foam core. I weigh 230 pounds and have never felt the floor give at all. Although Ameri-lites are narrower and shorter, the construction is much the same as other Gulfstream products. (according to their website) The other weight and cost saving items like plastic sinks or OSB in the cabinets have no impact on our ability to camp as both do what they are intended to do.
Check into some of the other more popular "respected" brands and you'll see post of how they are rolling wreaks until the dealer finishes the factories job and if they can't, just send it back for a rebuild. You may not be able to camp but you will have a respectable trailer right.
Personally I'll stick with my well built, budget entry level trailer that I can use over something with real sinks, hard wood everywhere and a reserved spot at the dealership because it was built poorly.
