X2. The ORV-Northwood chassis will be far more robust. It's why I bought mine. Large heavy-gauge I-beam, cambered chassis with reinforcing at suspension points. The other trailer I was considering was a Cougar (Keystone RV), but it's chassis was basically sheet-metal, and much smaller with lighter axles.
If you stay on highways, the lighter frames are fine. If you venture off-highway much, they aren't. Both of my prior TTs had frame failures (sagging frame on the Jayco, broken welds on the A-frame on my Weekend Warrior) so chassis design was was high on my requirements list.
