Thanks for the links.
Are these problems only in fifth wheels?
No. As an example there was a thread on the Open Range forum about some owners of the Journeyer JT 340 FLR that were seeing frame cracks. Mostly early 2011 or so models. Other brand TT's have reported frame issues as well. My last trailer had Lippert axles that were junk. For the most part Lippert has remedied what ever issues were causing them to have frame problems. The last few years have been slow as far as Lippert frame issues are concerned. Biggest issue with Lippert is that they're a huge company that makes or owns other companies that make a broad array of products for RV's. So percentage wise their name is going to pop up more when things go bad. But why are things going bad? Because they just don't make high quality products.
