The advice I always give on TDR and that is always ignored is this: Decide on an amount you will spend for a travel trailer then buy a trailer built by one of the top manufacturers with a reputation for quality. Do your homework to determine those brand names. Don't fall into the "buy what I bought" trap. Many want you to buy what they bought to make them feel better about their purchase, not because what they bought has proven to be a good one.

If your budgeted amount permits the purchase of a new one, fine. If not, buy the nicest, newest used trailer of one of the top brands you can find. There are always hundreds of top quality late model used TTs available.

Do a google search for "Lippert frames" to learn which manufacturers use Lippert frames and imported Chinese running gear. Learn about the problems owners have had and are experiencing with Lippert components.
