We have had to deal with super-cheap tires that failed within 100 miles, exterior particle board bits and pieces that turned to mush when they got wet, parts of the lifting mechanism that were improperly installed -- and failed, cheap cabinet door latches that failed, allowing the doors to swing wildly until the hinges were destroyed. . . . fastpopupDurability of lightweight trailersAfter several years of camping with an A-liner clone, we are looking to move unto a slightly larger trailer that can withstand 2-3 month-long trips of 5 to 10K miles without needing serious repair. We normally stay in State and federal campgrounds not paved RV resorts. We have looked at many under 3500 lbs. trailers and most do not seem to be built for the long haul. We are considering 15-18 foot models by Casita, Camp-Lite, Lance and Winnebago. Are trailers from these manufacturers up to this kind of travel and camping? fastpopup
