My present TT has a Lippert frame. It is by far the best frame I have had under any of my TTs.
10" tall real I beam (not welded) 1/4" thick.
The welds are top notch, and the frame is powder coated.

Lippert gets a bad rap here, but my frame is proof that they can put a good frame under a TT, if the manufacturer is willing to pay for it.

I had a out of warranty problem with the Lippert sealed bearing axles my TT came with. Lippert had discontinued those axles, but made me a very fair offer to get both axles replaced.

They could have easily weaseled on me, but they stood up and did the right thing.

I know I may be a rare bird here.... But I am a Lippert fan

I highly doubt the web is 1/4" thick. If so that TT would weigh way too much.
The flanges would be 1/4" where they meet the web.
Just curious what TT do you have?

2010 Palomino Sabre. 30BHDS

The web and flanges measure 1/4 thick.
I am not set up to post pics. I do have pics of my frame on the factory floor. from when I toured the factory after picking it up.

Jbarca has seen them.

I don't BS about this sort of thing.

Well thats impressive.

I don't doubt the 10" with 1/4" inch flange and web thickness. I do however doubt it's rolled and not a machine welded / fabricated shape. The only 10" rolled shapes I am aware of that could be used in a trailer frame application would be an S10x25.4 or S10x35. Neither of those have a 1/4" thickness anywhere. The lighter 25.4 has roughly a 1/2" flange and a 3/8" web.
