The "eggs" as I call them, have a lot to offer. For us however, they are too small, too expensive and they do not have a slide.
If they fit your budget and floor plan, there is no reason not to buy one. Of the course the same can be said for Airstream.
Floor plan trumps all.

First issue we had was the entry door attaching hardware pulled out and the door basically fell off.
All window dressings were cheap pressboard, and the condensation from the window dissolved it and the vinyl covering peeled off.
********Excessive Condensation? So you weren’t “venting the inside of the trailer?”
2 of the 4 tires blew out in less than 10,000 miles, we had to upgrade to class E tires.
********Tires blow all the time. I had 2 blow on my last trip. Were they old, had air, get a puncture?
The little battery that came with it, would not run the heater over one night, we were required to change to 2 deep cycle RV batteries.
*********That is normal.
The insulation was 1" styrofoam glued to the flat walls, nothing where the curved portion of the trailer.
The valve that separates the two propane tanks failed and dumped all our gas one night.
**********Those fail all the time. Are you really going to blame a manufacturer for all that?
The frame rails required beef ups to use a WDH, tried to load the hitch, the rails just bent.
***********This I seriously doubt.
IMHO simply a poorly designed and built trailer.
We towed the trailer about 12,000 miles, owned it less than a year.

We owned a Big Foot 25, biggest POS we ever got screwed with.
We paid 31k and sold for 22k a year later, I don't believe we made even one trip with out problems.
