Turbotbird,
Welcome to the forum. This is a great place to find answer to your questions. However, beware it is sometimes difficult to separate facts from opinions or rumors. I’ll provide what I know about your question.
Our T/V is a 2012 Ford F-250 4X4 6.7L diesel short bed super cab. The T/H is a 2005 WW FSC2800 purchased new. I don’t believe we have any plans to part with this unit in the near future as we still love it.
Before the failure of WW warrior I called the company about the frame issues. I was told (by the owner) that at the time of the construction of our unit the frames supplied had addressed the bending-twisting concerns. We have never had a problem with the frame.
Our unit does about 80% of its time on highway use and has well over 25-30K miles. I tow at 65 MPH and don’t abuse the unit when going off-road or over rough surfaces.
Our normal towing package includes 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 large dogs, 2 full size street bikes, partial fresh water, and all the support equipment for all of us. We are usually on the road for 2-3 weeks at a time.
We did recently have a fiberglass siding issue that has been repaired. You can check on this website for further details on the repair and cost under my name.
The following are the weights from a CAT Certified Scale with the T/H loaded as described above:
Steering axle: 4080
Drive axle: 5480
Trailer axle: 10320
Gross weight: 19,880
Hope this helps. Enjoy whatever you decide to buy.

Just saw your last post. Sway is not an issue for us. (load lever bars, sway control, and air bags.)
