I would not worry at all about the Lippert frames on the DRV, One look at the double stacked 15" tall rectangular tubing and it's obvious that it's not your typical Lippert frame so it's one stiff foundation.
Also the DRV has no lamination anywhere and thats a hands down win for me as a Mobile Suites is in my near future.

Actually the DRV specced Lippert frame is Two 2x6 and one 2x3 tubes stacked to create a 2"x15" stacked VERY STRONG frame.
I like our DRV product. People will say that's because that is what I have, no it's because I have lived in it full time for just over two years and am still very happy with it.
In fact so happy we will be buying a 14 or 15 MS or Elite later this year.
Look at the Trillogy and Redwood frames they are not even close to a DRV frame.
I learned a little bit about the DRV Lippert frames today at the Tampa RV show. The above information is correct for the Mobile Suites, Estates, and Elite Suites series. The Tradition, however, is built on a lower end mass produced Lippert frame and has fewer upgrades available (no Mor-Ride suspension, for instance). That's too bad because there's a Traditions floorplan we really like that isn't available in the higher end units.
