Unique looking frame, but I'll stick with structural channel or rectangular tube frames with standard cross members. That frame appears to be using the trailer structure as a significant amount of the support and rigidity. You will notice the increased height of the frame around the axles along with the minimal cross members (or lack thereof). That is to reduce the weight of the frame, which also saves the manufacturer a lot of money. Try putting a load on the back and see what happens. Many TT manufacturers will put a reinforcement in the same area around the axles. An example would be the old silver Avions. I would gladly pay the price for the extra weight and have a stronger overall frame.
