Howdy?
New here and new to the travel-trailer market. I've been interested in the small molded-fiberglass 'eggs', like Scamps, Casitas, Escapes, etc., but they are scarcer than the proverbial hen's teeth here in Eastern Massachusetts (and even in Virginia, where my daughter lives), and used ones are very expensive (I'm on a couple of sites with classifieds). So we've started looking at small 'stick-built' campers. I've come across a new 2015 previous-model Travel-Lite Idea i15Q that is less than 19' overall, with a layout similar to the Casita 17' trailers (bed, dinette, bathroom). The current model 2.0 (2016) has dual axles and a larger fridge, but the layout is pretty much the same, I think:

So I wondered if anyone here has any experience with these trailers or this company (seems to be best known for their slide-in truck campers). Quality? Reliability? Factory support (no dealers around here)?
Also interested in recommendations for other small campers. We've looked at the smallest Forest River R-Pod, and the Starcraft AR-ONE; I like the aluminum-frame construction of the R-Pod, but the interior seems dark and depressing; the AR-ONE is brighter. Suggestions welcome.
