It's true even a good looking weld my not penetrate too well. However a good welder will produce both. I've had 2 trailers with Lippert. The first had such ugly welds they could not have penetrated well. The second had a bottom and you could not see as many welds, but they really made a huge mistake on where they attached axles to frame. They sent a man to correct the axle problems, but he only moved one axle. Couple of years later everything was wore out, and I had to have the axle they did not move put in the correct location. Thanks for MOr Ride as they sent all specs to dealer, who got everything rebuilt. Thank goodness I now have a Cameo. No Lippert frame.
