New Carriage?

Has anyone seen the new Carriage? I noticed it is made by Crossroads.

I am wondering if they are of the same quality as the old Carriage? I have a 2003 Carriage 30rls. I know that Carriage RV went out of business around 2009-2011 sometime.

They are now made by Crossroads. Are they using the same construction methods as before they folded? Are are they following more conventional rv construction methods?

    Go look at one, or compare the specs on them.... I-beam frame, Lippert everything FIT, its got foofoo, but no bones....
    Kinda like the cameo Thor came out with.... NO back cap on a Cameo?

    The Cameo made by Crossroads doesn't look anything like the old Cameo by Carriage. Like what was said above the Lifestyle unit is made like the old Cameo with some improvements --- nice rig.

    No matter how much lipstick you put on a pig...it is still a pig. It is nothinh like the original Carriage Cameos.

    We traded in our 2009 Carriage Carri-Lite for a 2014 Lifestyle.
    My wife and I don't see any difference between the two....in fact the back half is exactly like our former Carriage.
    We love our Lifestyle.

    There is NO comparison what so ever between The NEW Carriage/Cameo and the former OLD Carriage/Cameo. The Lifestyle is a refined former Carriage/Cameo. We had a 2011 Cameo and it was great quality. We now own a 2014 Lifestyle and love it.
    Don't let the sales folks kid you.

    Does Lifestyle make a wide body? Everyone I have seen looks skinny.

    Lifestyle is making the 101" wide body starting with the 2015 model year. Not sure if all 2015s are 101" or if it is a mid-year change.
