5th wheel pulling a jeep!
I was on vacation traveling to Colorado from NJ on I80 in Nebraska, when in the east bound lane was a Med duty truck pulling a nice Hi-Line 5th wheel and behind that was a Jeep in tow. It all happened...

Don't let Lippert off the hook that easy - some of their failures have been inexcusable, regardless of how rare.
I did tow a boat with Lippert frame and it turned out OK, but remember it isn't just towing in a straight line. There is considerable side stress on the frame when turning in town because of the excessive length of I-beam behind the axles. You don't have that on a standard vehicle receiver hitch. In some turns, the rear trailer can be almost a 90 degree side pull. The rear drag wants to pull sideways on those thin spring hangers. Might consider strengthening them.
