We have an Airborne hitch for that reason as well, but it’s just been to many hard knocks. There have been a few that made me grimace over the years. By the way, Larry, being an Alpenlite owner, do you know how the nose section (the whole part that is the step up in the bedroom) of the walls and floor attach to the steel frame? We got a very close look with everything torn apart, and the very front appears to float. We could find no broken attachments or snapped screws or bolts or anything right up front. It made us wonder if they didn’t allow for a little flex right up near the pin box. The walls and floor seem absolutely solid. Also I noticed that right up front next to the horizontal beam the outside wall section has the fiberglass on the outside but is backed up by double 3/4” plywood rather than the expected aluminum studs and foam. I could see it through the hole where the wiring for the running lights go. Interesting.
