KZ used to used the 3-piece beams across their Spree lineup. I sure wouldn't one on a 36'/10K lb TT.Ralph Cramden wrote:myredracer wrote:
Check the frame on it. If it has the type of I-beam that is made from 3 pieces of sheet steel and looks like a "regular" one-piece I-beam, look at another brand.
That will narrow the search down a lot, as the OP will be limited to a very few select brands. The vast majority, especially if coming out of Indiana, will have a frame made by LCI, and LCI uses welded/manufactured beams on every TT frame they make except frames for the largest toy haulers and destination trailers.
I think that you will find very few trailer models with the cheap "I-beam" mentioned by Gil. Yes, most are built by LCI, but the 3 piece is not in the vast majority.
