As far as "quality" is concerned, both are built on similar RV assembly lines by workers that receive similar training, use similar appliances and install components using similar techniques and materials. So, they are "similar" but they also are "very different".

Of course there are other significant differences between the Hideout and the Cougar, but with that said, neither is "better" or "worse", and both fill a need in the RV price lineup.

Yes the tt is wood framed, but the rv in question is the fifth whell, which is aluminum framed.
