I find it more irritating that the over seas market is knocking out much nicer caravan/camper type stuff (appliances, power dist, etc.) that is hard/expensive to get over here.

Right but if some state side manufacturers picked up on a few things we might see better costing and at least not have to import/ship them in.

Thanks for the list of links.

Even if we can not buy them here in NA, they are good to look at for researching a build.

i find it sadly interesting that the majority of US designers are not brave enough to incorporate some of the out-of-the-box ideas that apparently are taken for granted overseas.

Not overseas, but in Canada, so we can actually get these: Livin Lite

We saw one of the small travel trailers in DV and looked them up. They make a number of pruducts using aluminum framing.
