5th Wheel Frames
All, Looking at new 5th wheels and I wanted to ask about the frames. I know that Lippert frames have all kinds of issues on travel trailers but what about 5th wheels? Are they in that market and if...

Yes, Lippert is in the 5th wheel frame arena. I believe they pretty much dominate it.
Northwood has frames built to their own spec....beefy.
There may be others that don't use Lippert, so hopefully those in the know will chime in.
Most of the brands under the Forest River or Thor umbrellas use Lippert frames. Some Jayco models were, or were,using Norco frames. Grand Design uses Lippert frames. It sure is easier to list brands that do not use Lippert and any brand can change without notice, so Caveat Emptor. Lippert bought out frame divisions, such as Dexter, and by lowballing/undercutting put many smaller fabricators out of business.
