I watched a video on this Riverstone model you mention and the guy said it has an empty weight of 16,900 pounds. That is a lot of weight if this is the standard Lippert 5th wheel frame they are using? The reason we went to our SOB was it has triple box steel tubing and the frame is built like a tank, and it has 9k axles and disc brakes, but the empty weight is 19,000 pounds! So again, how many things can they add to make the inside more glitzy, and then not beef up the construction of the frame, which is what the whole thing rides on?

My understanding is the frames are made by Lippert, but the design is Keystone/Montana
