Do they use them for all product lines or just the entry level ones. I've got a Challenger that we bought this year and am wondering about the quality.

You can add Newmar to the list, they make their own frames in house.

Our 2006 Flagstaff by Forest River has a Dexter frame. I know because I called and talked to them about adding a generator to the rear bumper, and Flagstaff had me call Dexter and I talked to the engineer who designed the frame.
