If you were a manufacturer like Lippert and someone came to you with a design that you knew wouldn't work, wouldn't you be just as responsible for failure of said part?
I know if it were me I wouldn't want to ruin my reputation by getting involved with it.
Probably. But, I am not Lippert nor Heartland and to that end they did what they did. Maybe Lippert, that makes about 75 percent of all RV fifth wheel and travel trailer frames, did ask about the design. You and I don't know that. But at the end of the day they build what was ordered.
But they did build it and thats good enough for me. When I go looking for a unit, it wont be one with Lippert crappy frames . Nor will it be one with China bomb tires or the Ford 6.0 engine. Enough bad things happen without going out and looking for trouble. JMO
I'd buy a 6.0 over the 6.4 powerstroke any day of the week. Like clock work they will cost you a bunch of money around the 100K mark, if they make it.
