Carriage made their frames in house. They have a 2x6 box frame stacked- 12' tall. The limiting factor is the 7k axles. Upgrade the axles and tires to 8k and your fine. Our Carrilite is the same, heavy as hell with little-carrying capacity. We upgraded axles and tires and have had zero issue.
Yours is rated at 2,875 lbs on the brochure. The '09 Cameo is rated at 1,749. That's already a 1,100 lb difference to start with...so I wonder if the axles and tires would allow a CCC of 2,500+. That is a jump from the 951 lbs. CCC for this particular coach.
