You have decided that 4 point vs. 6point leveling is the criteria to judge a frame strength based on your response from big foot.

you are partly correct .... a 4 or 6 point leveling system does speak volumes about the strength of a camper's frame .... just as manufactures pick slide systems based on cost and weight they do so with most components .... 6 point systems with stabilizers cost more and weigh more than 4 point systems without stabilizers .... the reason a manufacture would go with a 6 and not a 4 is they know that the frame of their camper isn't sufficiently rig to provide the stability buyers expect form a camper when it is parked and in use .... if a cheaper/lighter 4 point system would deliver that level of stability, they would use it .... when they know it won't, they have to go in another direction .... we have a 4 point Bigfoot system (no additional JT type stabilization needed) installed on our camper which has a very strong triple stacked box tube frame .... the same type frame still used in some Double Tree units .... it is so solid that the OEM rear stabilizers have been removed .... it might be worth your time to check out an Eagle Premier with a 4 point Atwood auto leveling system .... I was in one at an RV show last September .... there had to be a dozen or more folks in it as well and it didn't move .... here again, I'm happy you have found a camper that you like and that meets your needs .... the reality is all frames are not created equal .... one indicator of the frames strength is number of points of support and other reinforcement it may need to be an stable platform .... here again, I'm trying to provide facts and its up to other folks to determine if they have any relevance
