I went with the CLC/Trailex option, too. It’s my second Trailex, I had one for my schooner. No regrets. It may seem pricey at first, but you really do get what you pay for. The light weight and lack of corrosion worries make using the Teardrop much less worrisome. The missing maintenance is not missed. It also makes it feasible to single-handedly move the camper, even on grass. That can be difficult to do with a heavier steel frame.
