We finally got to see inside a couple of Lifestyle units yesterday.We would say without a name change, the staff at Lifestyle have done a remarkable job. We would not hesitate to buy one. They made a few changes decorative ...blinds - pull solid shades with mesh pull downs. Great concept we thought.Closet is larger and deeper. Loved the kitchen counter. If your looking for a very nice unit, check them out.

I have the 2011 Cameo so was interested to look in the Lifestyle. The dealer said Evergreen bought everything except the names. They want to keep the same quality unit. I'm glad as the Cameo is by far the best trailer we ever owned. I to would buy a Lifestyle.

Evergreen RV owns "Lifestyle RV" and I certainly with them the very best! "About 200 people lost their jobs when Carriage shut down but there is good news as many of those workers have joined forces to form a new company.Work is currently under way in Middlebury to open a new company known as Lifestyle Luxury RV. It aims to make high end fifth wheel travel trailers at a vacant factory. The driving force behind the new company is a good number of people who used to work at Carriage RV in Millersburg, including Greg Kitson who worked at Carriage for nearly 20 years.“We have a lot of people on board that have a lot of years of service, a lot of expertise in what they do and great people,” said Kitson. “They are the most loyal people.”Kitson, along with other former carriage employees, developed an idea to keep that workforce together and help develop a new company."I see a long and prosperous future for them! But I'm not sure how they came up with the name of the Company..."Lifestyle"!

We have a new Lifestyle and really like it so far. They made a lot of improvements over the Cameo we had.

I'm glad to read that the Carriage people found a home, does anyone know how many of the 200 got a job at Lifestyle?

Farmer Dave - Its nice to hear first hand how good it is.What other changes are you speaking of. Sometimes until you actuallyown something, you see all changes. Just curious,Ford - I always enjoy reading you posts,and you r pictures arehilarious!:)As far as the company employees - good job for picking up the piecesand moving ahead.

Hopefully we'll be able to see some in Hersey this fall. I'm curious approximately the cost of a higher end unit. Our first and entry level unit has been good but we're looking to upgrade. I'm curious the cost difference between high end Heartland or Keystone versus Lifestyle. I understand there is a different level of quality, but at what financial cost?

I would also put Cedar Creek and Pinnacle with them Heartland & Keystone 5'vers

I'd bet if you worked them hard you could get them close; my guess and it's just a guess would be within 5 g's.

You have to search for Lifestyle Luxury RV. The web address is www.lifestylelrv.com. The letter L is snuck in before rv.

The website is hard to access. Even putting in Lifestyle, you come up with dealers that your not interested in. So, hopefully they can correct something there for the consumer.
