FWIW my Northwood Fox Mountain has AL-CO axles. Not sure what the Arctic Fox line uses. One of the main reasons we went with Northwood is because of the Lippert frame issues. Even though it is not a wide spread issue it is an issue. Why by something that may or may not have an issue when you can buy something that has proven to be more reliable? TT's/5'ers have enough issues on their own, why compound them? Does that mean I'm stuck buying only Northwood products because of Lippert frames? Maybe so. Better safe than sorry.
It's a lot easier to deal with an axle issue 4-5 yrs down the road than a tweaked Lippert frame. Guess I'll take my chances.
