Where are you getting that Lippert doesn't do the design work? From their own page the first 3 bullet points all mention design.
I stand corrected, they appear to be more vertically integrated than they used to be.
But again I will say my TT has a Lippert frame with a REAL I-beam, not one welded from 3 pieces of flat stock, and I have never had any issues with weld quality in 10 years of owning the trailer. So they have the capability to build the right frame with the right materials, so why are some sub-par? If Lippert is doing the designing of the frame, is it possible they are designing it to a price point spec'd by the mfr?
No question you need to look at frame quality when you buy a TT because some are junk. But just because a junk frame was made by Lippert doesn't mean every frame made by Lippert is junk.
