I'm not sure if it will work the same way (I'll be finding out more this Fall), but RKS is talking about a "modular" ordering process of some kind for the Motive that might do what you're describing: Start with the basic box and build out from there to your liking.
Lol, the regular use of a common American made travel trailers ON road kills them too.

That one is either marked up or is optioned up or both. Starting MSRP for that model is $61k. I don't see mention of the Max Solar optional package either which is the most expensive option you can add and doesn't cost $10k. I have seen people mentioning there are not many of these dual axle models available out there yet though.This one looks nice. Not crazy about the murphy bed... I know... 1st world problems, right?

My problem is when trailers start getting that expensive, I tend to think you're just a hop, skip and jump to a cabin. On land... Which will appreciate and I can pass down to my kids. Different strokes for different folks though.
I don’t think it matters what kind of trailer you go with. We used the super basic stock trailers to haul stock up logging roads because everything!!! I mean everything thats not welded on gets knocked loose. The best stock trailer everything thing was welded not a single screw or bolt and the only moving part rear door had welded pins in welded strapped gudgeons. The only un welded bolts were the lug nuts on the wheels lol.
Lol! Well fine then. Hopefully I can delay the inevitable and get some better climate control inside in the meantime.I don’t think it matters what kind of trailer you go with.

Even the slightly more fancy stock trailer with a pass tru door at the front end the door latch broke off the first time we used it. For the next few years that door just had a rope holding it shut.
All the windows in all of these RVs will rattle loose and leak getting towed down even typical logging roads. Absolutely ALL the fasteners will get shook loose. Hell the cheap ******** PEX water line stuff thats for stationary houses definitely won’t do well. Suspension? Mehh it will only delay the final outcome and not really by much given “hey I have $3000 suspension I’ll take it up there” ism will be greater than the guy rolling boring $1500 suspension that says na this is fine.. lol
Still window shopping and carefully tracking my options. Hoping to be back home in AZ by next spring where I can consider pulling the trigger. Current work location is not trailer storage friendly.
Honest answer is it depends on the day.
Yeah, Ember has that 191 MSL. That is the big cargo area with the movable bunks. I like that too. I would want them to do that without a slide and they really need to address their cargo capacity. At least half your cargo capacity is gone once the trailer is wet let alone anything other than pillows in that cargo space.
The CCC on the Embers (especially the four wheel models with only 1,320 lbs of CCC) is a big red flag for me. There's a guy on the web who is constantly claiming it's just due to the tires. I have disabused him of that opinion several times, but he keeps coming back with the same explanation. He's a sales guy. My second issue with Ember is the slide s well. It's the type that likes to break. At the Ember's price, I can deal with or fix the cheap plastics and laminates, but the low CCC and cheap slide prevent me from going the value route with Ember.
The tire argument should be pretty easy to void. What tires are on there and what is their max load rating? Then how much does the dry trailer weigh? Then account for how much weight you add with full tanks. I'm sure you know that. I agree the CCC, especially on the dual axle, is questionable. I'll be honest, what is typical for single axle trailers?
