    Do people really take their off-road teardrops through gnarly trails?

    I've noticed most of the so called off road trailers are built by companies that never went off road with them, going down and then up a steep dip means the hitch will dig into the dirt and the back will dig into the other side. I have seen a few that look like they might work ok, but very few.

    One of the few good things about being old is you get a sense of history and can see trends. When I was young we all complained about poorly made Japanese stuff, now its considered some of the best. The thing is companies are greedy and stupid, "Hey we can make that in China for 1/10 the price"...
