With regard to 'fit and finish' things, I don't think TMs are inherently better or worse than other trailers. It sounds to me like the 2008 model you saw suffered from inattentive care and operation. There is no reason why such a new trailer should have gouges in the countertops and dents in the walls.

For example, you of course have to be somewhat careful in not damaging the walls when hanging the kitchen cabinet. If not, I could see the wall being dinged. When closing up the trailer, EVERYTHING has to be off the countertops or else you'll not be able to close up, and could conceivably damage something in the process.

Again, I don't think TMs are subject to any more wear and tear than other trailers. You do however, need to do things in certain sequence when opening and closing the trailer - but you'll learn these steps pretty quickly.

As Cheri said, if you get a chance, your best bet would be to talk to some TM owners and see their rigs in person.
