At the last couple of RV shows here, I've noticed that the Whitehawks have had the BAL/Norco Ultraframe. I have in the past also seen the 3-piece, welded up, I-beam made from separate pieces of sheet steel also used. I am not sure if Jayco has switched over to the Ultraframe on some or all models, but if the other two have the fabricated I-beam, I would most assuredly go with the Ultraframe as it is much stronger and more durable.
That's a question I'll have to ask Keystone, I guess. I've had good luck with my Jayco service department, but my trailer has hardly been trouble free. I've also heard mixed reviews on the White Hawk model; however perhaps the move to the Ultraframe is Jayco's response to some of the build quality concerns?
It's a tough dilemma when you're forced to consider a floor plan that you're not excited about. I've learned over the years that the number one regret with trailer purchases is related to the floor plan. Build quality is important obviously, but for the most part I've found that most of the mainstream production models are built to about the same standard of quality.
