Helio travel trailers?

Hey, new guy here. ๐Ÿ™‚ I wasn't sure where to post this, but figured I'd try here.

Does anyone own or have experience with Helio travel trailers, specifically their O2 model? Doing a search here and google, I'm finding practically no feedback or reviews from owners so I was wondering if they're just too new or if there is something about them that is keeping people away. On paper, the O2 seems comparable to a Scamp 13' deluxe, but the Scamp has a huge following while the Helio is almost unknown.

The Helio O2 is one of the few travel trailers that is light enough to be towed by my 2017 Outback 2.5, and based on the vendor's specifications, it's small enough to fit into a 10x15 self storage unit with an 8' door.

I can get a 2019 model O2 for just a little over $19k OTD. Seems like a good deal to me, but I'm wary of the fact that there isn't a lot of these on the road and zero discussion about them.

i found it online first, and then found a dealer 1.5 hours away from me that i'm planning to see for the first time tomorrow. i'm completely new to travel trailers and RVs and don't know a thing about them, so it's all new to me. because i'm so new to this, i'm hesitant to buy the Helio given there isn't many of them out there.
