NON Lippert frame TT
Does anyone know who is making a NON Lippert frame Travel Trailer today. Or even a Lippert frame with a different make axle?
Forum Discussion
- Northwood mfg makes their own frames.
- The folks that make Arctic Fox products make there own frames.
OTOH, I don't hear nearly as much bad stuff about Lippert frames anymore. Maybe they've improved a little.
(EDIT: Don beat me to it!) - I believe the Co. that makes Nash build their own frames. Northwood Mfg., I think.
- Thank you all for the prompt replies.
- Lance uses a Norco/BAL frame.
WoodGlue - If you don't like Lippert, good luck. Besides the frames they make, or own the company, many other things that make up a TT. Windows, doors, jacks, electronics.
- OK I'll ask, what's a Lippert frame look like?
- Northwoods RV, makers of Nash, Arctic Fox, Snow River (and a couple lines no longer made) all are on their own frame.
Outdoors RV, makers of Black Rock, Black Stone, Creekside, Timber Ridge and Wind River make their own frames also (same Corp owners as Northwoods)
Sunny Brooke -used- to make their own frames, but after the Winnie buy-out I don't know if they still do. - I find it interesting that Lippert has such a bad rep here. I'm on my third TT and the first one with a Lippert frame and axles.
This one is the highest quality by far.
Mt first TT a 1975 Prowler had some really ugly looking welds, but they never failed.
My second one a 2001 Fleetwood wilderness had good looking welds, but I had to do quite a bit of welding repairs over the years to fix it.
The 2010 Sabre I have now has excellent looking welds, and has been trouble free.
I think a lot of the issues may be how the manufacturer specs the frame.
