It's not the frames are any different, but rather the hydraulic/electric leveling jacks are much sturdier/stronger than the stabilizers, or outriggers as you called them. The leveling systems jacks were designed to lift the rvs where stabilizers are, as the name implies, are to only stabilize once level.
If the frames were designed specifically for level up systems then they wouldn't be able to sell/install those systems aftermarket, they'd have be a special order from the factory, which they aren't & they do install aftermarket.
