For those who want something different or a cut above the norm, there are companies for that market also. The egg type shells such as Casita and Bigfoot or the tube like Air Stream or the more conventional models such as Lance are often mentioned as being a cut above the rest. This is also reflected in their price.

There are also the modifications made by those who boone dock, winter or desert camp and other such unique camping styles.

I agree that Lance is one of the better manufacturers out there. In fact, their new 2375 is probably my favorite new trailer floor plan. I've toured this floor plan twice in person, but I can't see ever buying a 28 foot total length trailer with only 1,600 pounds cargo capacity and 14" wheels and tires. Fill the fresh water tank and you're already down to a max of 1,200 pounds of cargo before taking into account any options, which isn't all that much. The low profile of the Lances also makes wheel and tire upgrades challenging, and then you're still stuck with lower capacity axles.

If you're into just RV and State parks with full hookups, I'd say the Lances can't be beat, but if you plan on going offroad or boon docking at all, Northwood or Outdoors RV are the two manufacturers I'd be looking at.
