LMAO!!!:S Yeah but you are not Lippert Mr Science ,why do you think ALL the Big 5er's are going 12inch Lippert I beam's?? they are getting heavier and heavier and the 10in I beam's were not up to the job and failing,if 10in is better then why are the Mfg's changing over?? they are heavier and more expensive etc.. they HAD to make the move to 12inch and it is working as the complaints about bent and cracked frames has gone way down since The IDEAL frame is the 2 stacked TUBED 6in which alot of the upper end REALLY Heavy 5er's use Maybee you ought to go into Business of making frames and show Lippert how it is done:R untill that time Lippert is what they use and the Lippert 12inch is more robust than the Lippert 10inch

Point being, 12" vs. 10" may mean nothing, and you would have no idea of the differences between the two. I can just simply change the yield strength and make all the difference world.
My friend is camping right next to me as I type this and we just measured his 2014 369RL rear I beam and it is a 10 inch I beam (just so you know) I know the Momentum toy hauler has the 12in main frame maybee the 2015's Solitudes have a 12inch and that would be an improvementDave&Jeanette wrote:
