That's not entirely accurate. A RV manufacturer may specify the dimensions and materials for a frame but they don't specify poor welding - which is what Lippert frames suffered from.

BINGO!

As far as I know there are only 3 and they have been mentioned. Excel, Northwoods Mfg and Lifestyle unless some of the custom rv builders build their own.

Lifestyle builds their frames in house. http://www.lifestylelrv.com/

Most Hitchhikers had Young's Welding frames. Chris

Northwood industires products make their own frames.
We don't here much anymore about Leppert frame issues. I wouldn't pass up a nice rig just because it has one.

Northwood Manufacturing (Artic Fox, Nash, Desert Fox) build their own I think.
