I think if it was a Lippert frame failure, then the bed frame of the truck would be bent in a downward direction, not upward. Just a guess, but maybe the TV rearended or hit something with the front end, and the forward motion and weight of the RV lifted the frame? I've seen those who have dropped (forgot to pin) the 5th wheel hitch, drove off and crunch....down on the bed it comes. That RV looks to be about 25-30 ft long, not long for that what to looks to be a 3/4 ton to pull.
