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.
