Looking for information

Starting to research 5th wheels. I'm following the advice of many to focus on the build first, not the bells and whistles.

I'm trying to find information on comparisons of frames and suspensions available. Tried searching but no luck.

Thanks

Alan

    98% of them will be built on Lippert frames using Lippert axles and suspension. There are a couple builders who use in house built frames. The one that comes to mind first is Northwood Mfg based in Lagrande,OR. There also one of the few that tend to build decent quality. All RVs use the same or similar components, so build quality should be number one, followed closely by livability.
