Carriage Carri-lite 36max1

Have the Cameo with similar layout and they are a great unit. Quality units with a lot of standard equipment. I pull with F-350 Duelly 7.3 PS Diesel. You will need the same size truck and power if you are going to do a lot of traveling.

Ditto on the Carriage quality. We've had ours since new with no significant issues. I highly recommend it.

Same opinion as jw and Bunklash... I have a 2011 36Max1 and love it. I have owned 3 Carriage 5th wheels sense 1999 and wouldn't have anything else. Your second question was about the TV's, I have a 40" Sony in the living room and a 22"Sony in the bed room. Enjoy your travels and you couldn't pick a better unit.

I meant "towing vehicle" by TV. ;)

SORRY..... I pull with a 2014 Sierra Denali 3500 CC/DRW 4x4

We had a 2008 Cameo and then a 2012 Cameo. The 2012 was a nice trailer, but I think at that point the quality was falling off as they were going out of business.

The 2009 year and a few years before it had issues with the slide motors and drives. They used a mechanical gear drive system and the motor mounts were not secure allowing the motor to shift and disengage with the gears and strip gear teeth. This is an issue that can be fixed by a knowledgeable tech.

Run the slides in and out a few times. They should move in and out smoothly with out a lot of noise such as clunks, creaks, grinding, etc. If they are loud and jerky, they need to be repaired.
