Carriage-Cameo by Crossroads?
I noticed where the names of Carriage and Cameo are coming back. As a owner of a 2011 Cameo this made me a little sick. Knowing they could probably never get the quality in their units as the original...

As a past owner of 2 real superb Carriages and still the owner of an excellent Carriage Carrilite, Thor/Crossraods building and using the Carriage/Cameo also sickens me and my wife also. Thor isn't known for Real Carriage type quality nor is Crossroads even remotely. Yes, They have the rights to use the product names as they'd bought them both. A name doesn't make the product good or even acceptable, it's the owner's satisfaction and the product's manufacturing reputation of quality over a long time that does!
I/we are in the same camp of Lifestyle (who employ's so many of the original Carriage workers) is being our next high end (Carriage Quality) 5th wheel made with the in house well proven strong stacked tube welded frame and the coack being built the same as Carriage did. Paying over $90,000 for an RV says it darn well must be of very high quality materials, engineering, and build and no excuses or cut corners period.
Thor/Crossraods will have a lot of proving to do and have a lot of very happy owners satisfied before we'd ever entertain a thought of giving them a slight consideration. Maybe 10 years will be a min!
Actually, I/we'd much rather have a Jayco Eagle than any Thor RV I've seen so far. Even Jayco has a 2 year warranty they honor rather than a one year and does so at about 1/2 the purchase price of their RV's of the same size. Jayco built their reputation and have maintained it for getting close to 50 years now. Started in 1968 and that was many decades before Thor or Crossroads was as much as a pipe dream or thought.
