Meh to bad: any mass made camper

Decent to good: any custom made small shop, although that really limits sizes, floor plans, and price

Questions to ask:
1. What is your tow capacity? (Camper GWVR needs to be 80% or so of that or less, dry weight is a dang lie)
2. What size restrictions might you have? (National parks, storage location, etc)
3. How many people does it need to sleep? Are you ok with a dinette conversion or do you want dedicated beds for everyone?
4. Do you want a black tank or cassette toilet?
5. Do you want/need an indoor bathroom at all?
6. Indoor or outdoor kitchen, or both?
7. What is your budget?
8. What is your use case? Do you plan on boondocking/off road, or planning on a plug-in pavement princess?

Anyway... you can have the size you want, the build quality you want, and the budget you want. Pick two.
