Why can't RV builders figure out the small trailer market?

I found the trailer. Apologies for the over the shoulder iPhone pic.

Maybe they went belly-up because, with their little teardrop trailer, you had to go outside to make your gourmet 7-course dinner in Smokey the Bear's backyard. And they literally missed every other one of my requirements, to boot.

I think you're making my case.

No, they went belly up because the trailer market is oversaturated with used trailers post-COVID. I see their trailers every time I go camping.

I also can’t imagine wanting to sit in my trailer when the great outdoors is right there. But, for what it’s worth, we’ve had eleven people in our trailer waiting out a storm and been fine.

The smallest trailer they make weighs 6,000 pounds. The tow limit on my SUV (like most mid-size SUV's) is 3500.

Yes but they are built well with good materials which increases the weight. The upside is that they don’t fall apart in two years.

Close, but no cigar. They make a bigger tandem axle 6x12 that's nearly perfect. The only problem is, you can't buy them used anymore. I checked.

See how easy this is? Why are 21 different RV builders unable to figure this out?

21 different RV builders are smart enough to know that nobody wants what only you are looking for.
