Good photos OP. Some pretty substantial damage for sure.
If it eases your mind any, there have been reports of Lippert frame damage on all sorts of fifth wheels seen here, up to and including what I thought was built too strong to suffer such damage, the DRV Mobile Suites line.
And with regular fifth wheel hitches as well as goosenecks.
Perhaps those who have invested the extra cost into some of the air ride hitches are in truth one step ahead of all of us.
One can only hope that is. We all tow all over the place, and seeing the damage you have suffered is the last thing any of us wants to have happen to anyone.
Best of luck in your repairs.
