I've set aside my dream of building one; for our situation and budget right now, store bought and ready to roll at this price point is feasible and we need a standy. Also, I'm seeing numerous commercial teardrops priced at $12,000 on up; crazy expensive. This one has some nice features with the basic model, including trailer brakes. I also like that they have the supplemental stuff that is needed so you can get a sense of all the extraneous stuff, add it up, and not be surprised by sticker shock.
I'd really like a fiberglass Weiscraft Little Joe or something similar, but those are in the $20,000 range. A Casita (they no longer have the 13' Patriot), starts out at around $22,000 and is right at the towing limit for our Toyo Sienna.
My brother and SiL are moving to North Carolina in a year or two and they have made a few driving trips to take things there; if the timing were right, they could bring a Polar Bear back to me in Texas towed with their nice big truck.
