I would be very careful if looking at a 'new' Carriage/Cameo.
In the early 2000s Alpenlite had a great reputation for quality of build. In 2006, with Western RV/Alpenlite under new ownership, the quality of build went down, starting with the Lippert frame instead of the inhouse built frame. It was still a better than average 5er but it is nothing like its older cousins.
Look very very carefully at any 'new' whatever built under new ownership.
