Don't forget Andy at Great Lakes Teardrop. He's right at 6 weeks for a build time for mine. Actually a few days under that. My rig will be ready this week! The only downside is that I can't pick it up until I return from work later this month. He may be a little farther away for some, but it would make a pretty cool shakedown/adventure bringing your new camping rig home.

I've never seen that one before. Haven't been on their site lately. That's a nice looking crossover. For the price, I'd take that over a Littleguy any day, which range in the same price.

Nice! The turn around time shouldn't be too bad. I think mine ran just a few weeks behind schedule but I wasn't worried given the circumstances I was having at the time (newborn and remodeling a house). So it showing up a few weeks late to me worked out. But they were very good at keeping me updated. You should have yours to you in time to enjoy a majority of your late spring/summer season.
Going to pull the trigger. Here is a list of options I am going to get. Anyone have any recommendations to remove any of these? Family of 5.

You could save some weight and cost by having the trailer use the same spare as your tow vehicle. You get a flat, use the spare and head for town. On the very rare occasion you get two flats, you can always disconnect the trailer and come back for it with fixed tires. How remote are you actually going to take the trailer? Alaska, South American?
With the weight of the tent and gear for 5 ask for heavier springs. You're gonna no to need them.

Good idea about springs.
Trailer will explore CONUS and Canada for the most part.
Regarding spare. I hate having to put a spare on trailer, but I also want the option to hook up to either of my vehicles or a buddy's truck on a fishing trips without having to worry about loading up a spare all the time. In other words, I dont want to be limited to just the matching wheels on tow vehicle. Plus with the swing out carrier you get the sink mod etc which the wife really likes.
