What I meant by that is they talk about the flooring, back splash, lighting, etc. But nothing on the roof, wall construction, r-value. Yea, it looks nice, but need more info on its construction. One thing I did notice is some cheap looking vinyl trim where the roof, and walls meet. If it’s quality construction there is no need for it.

Good points indeed, but a very innovative approach to building a trailer which I find refreshing. I wonder if they would allow a tour of their factory? They definitely used some higher end products in the construction so I would be surprised if the frame, insulation etc is poor quality but who knows at this point.

Pretty slick if I was preparing for the apocalypse, but overkill for taking my grandkids to the local lake/campground.

A lot of new interesting trailers coming out, the Nucamp Avia is yet another and it looks to be top notch construction. The more choices the better and I really like some of these new fresh ideas.

Yes, being able to level a trailer using its suspension is "apocalyptic"... Meanwhile shoving pieces of lumber/plastic under a trailer to level is super safe for the grandparents at the lake.

Not sure I understand your post, sarcasm?

I simply stated it's a nice trailer, super rugged and if that's your thing, good for you. As for my wife and I, we are generally looking for something a little more comfortable to stay in while boating at the lake. We also plan to winter in one coming back home spring, summer and fall. The trailer you showed is awesome looking, especially if I was camping or hunting off grid.

Evokes do look interesting

We've got a Jayco hybrid that we'll outgrow in a few years when I retire and we can fulltime--or at least fulltime for several months to get out of Texas in Summer! I've been frustrated by the weight and cost of Airstream versus the old and frankly, ugly brown look of so many of the trailers, including our amazingly functional but grandmotherly-styled Jayco. While yeah, the purple light thing was a bit much for me and I loathe "indoor fireplaces," I appreciated the styling and it was the first thing I've looked at for price/styling/floorplan specs where I got excited. I'm sad that no one has posted a yeah or nay on experience of owning one. Has anyone seen any reviews from owners anywhere? Does anyone know if they offer a cold weather package?

So, I went and looked at an Evoke Model A last weekend. Short answer--the company went bust AND the RV is a dud. Two AC units on a 24 foot trailer=50 amp not 30, fridge isn't a three-way it's electric only, so not suitable for boondocking even for one night. Also the couch was super cheap (no worse than other brands, I was just hoping for better) and the countertops were the kind of cheap plastic that is highly likely to scratch, burn and show permanent wear pretty quickly. Not well thought out at all. What a shame.

It appears they just consolidated their manufacturing.

Not sure what you mean by they make the airstream 24ft. Travel lite makes parts for the airstream or are you saying airstream makes trailers so its worth avoiding travel lite?
