Sadly the the trailer manufacturer graveyard is littered with companies that tried to make a better trailer. The trailer buyers, more than any others, are very price sensitive.

BigFoot for structural and exterior integrity. Once you get inside there are the same appliances as all the others. Interior appointments are OK+.

Let see, I give you the same price point, the same appliance base, the same level of worker skill, the same materials. Humm!! I wonder what your TT will look like?

If you want different you have to pay for different. Look at the construction techniques use in the Tiny Homes market. If course you need a big TV; just to bring in the payment.

Every major maker has its duds once in a while and each use about the same quality of materials for a given price point.

It is a market price driven industry.

Just right for Grandpa, Grandma and the dog.

Interesting question and interesting answers. Of the trailers I know of, I would have to say Airstream but I would never own one. Reason being, I do not like the insides of them and I don't want to spend the money on it. For many I would take a guess that the best would be something they could afford. I love my current trailer and would not change it for anything right now. Down the road is another story but for now, my Premier is the best for me.

Do you think he may be asking for the group's opinions and not the opinion of one person who has owned every trailer brand? If he had made opinion plural would that have made it clearer for you?

Our 2002 Sunline Solaris TR280 was a great trailer and we had it for ten years.

We've been pleased with our Winnebago Minnie and in my opinion, the Winnebago line is "above average". I'm not really sure that there are any "high end" travel trailers aside from Airstream and other specialty trailers mentioned such as Oliver and Escape. For really luxury trailers, the market has been in fifth wheel trailers.
