The old Carriage was built on a frame that was designed by Carriage and built in house. The double-stacked, 6-inch, box-tube steel construction was crafted to allow slide-outs mounted above the frame for the ultimate strength and structural integrity of the frame. The new Carriage or Cameo by Crossroad is not, the closes thing to the way the OLD Carriage was made is Lifestyle. In fact from what I can see and read about it looks like they have even made some improvements in the frame and they make a great looking RV.
You are correct . If you want a quality 5th wheel like the old carriage was with improvements . You need to look at the Lifestyle. In fact when Lifestyle factory opened up they had hired the workers and engineers from the original Carriage factory. All Crossroad did was buy the name so it could not be used by the new factory. I have a 2006 Carriage 5th wheel. I spent 3 years looking at 5th wheels and marking them off my list. I had enough money to do it right the first time . So I was looking for a quality 5th wheel. That would last me . Carraige was one of the 3 that was on my list.
