Different time, different world. China is already a thoroughly well developed industrialized country. They know what they are doing. They dump cheap goods on the market, and people go to Wal Mart and buy it.
No, I will not buy a trailer made in China.
Absolutely Agree! Japan is/was famous for copying, down to the molecular level in the case of plastics, paint, and electronics engineering.
The Chinese, although already industrialized, do not copy proven designs. They reverse-engineer existing designs and then use the absolute least expensive materials to make something that looks and functions similar to the original. This cost cutting comes at a "buyer beware" price regarding carcinogens, toxicity, quality, and safety.
Buyer Beware!

I wonder what the dealer would say the shipping charges would be to send it back to the factory for repairs?
Thanks everybody!

5'11' interior height? I'm average and that would be a bit close for me!

I looked at these at the DC RV show. Really sort of cute looking. The saleman said they could be pulled by a VW. Not much to them other than the retro looking outside.

Where do I get a "refridgeratory"? I've heard about them and always wondered but now I see one available for the first time in the floorplans.

Actually, the design has potential. Take a good quality North American manufacturer and an interior designer who realizes that colors like that will get old real fast...in fact before you ever buy one, and you could have a sellable product. Oh and knock about four hundred lbs off of it. IT is also pretty heavy considering and that likely says something about the materials used...

Shoot me now!!!!!
I do like the color selection thing but just the fact that they are from China makes them undesirable in my eyes.
