New 5th line coming, no wood all ALU, from livinlite

Like the latched cabinets, only other rv I knew that had em was Lance. Have no idea why they all don't. Not sure I agree with the videos remarks of a "high end look" though.

I watched the youtube video. It has Lippert frame underneath. The factory rep. was bragging how they were the only RV manufacturer that could utilize this Lippert lightweight frame as all the other manufacturers fivers were too heavy for the frame. Not real sure that's something to brag about.

Video of the 32 on their facebook, the 26 is a single side and a few different features. I think the chassis frames are steel not ALU.

The undercarriage frame is steel which is what you would want in a fifth wheel. An aluminum frame would have lots more flex and end up being a problem. The only 2 good things about aluminum is it's light and it won't rust. But it's also brittle and in an atmosphere like where we are from south of Houston I have seen holes pitted completely through aluminum.

I would disagree with this statement. I've seen quit a few horse trailers and animal carriers that are fifth wheel aluminum. If you want to see holes and pits just look at a steel frame trailer that lives it's life in northern damp climates. Aluminum is the material of choice when building a trailer and the only main reason it's not used more is because of the increase cost.
