A frame portion is provided for the upper deck of a fifth wheel travel trailer, wherein the side wall or perimeter beams are placed at the same elevation as the intermediate floor beams, preferably formed from the same dimension beams. Where additional reinforcing is needed along the frame perimeter, horizontally extending beams are used to supplement the side wall beams. Additional structure for receiving, resisting, absorbing, and/or reducing towing stresses, loads, and torques is formed in the forward portion of the upper deck, and can include a built up portion of the frame which is forward of the flat floor slide-out mechanism.
