I replaced my 2005 Cameo with a 2013 Lifestyle 37RESL. I did get the 8K axles and disc brakes. Don't know what your tow vehicle is but my 08 Ford needed a new controller for the brakes. The newer Ford OE controllers can work with both the electric or hydraulic brakes.
My only problems have been an inoperable black tank flush and the 12 cu ft fridge. First the freezer doors weren't adjusted right, the thermistor was bad and now I have to replace the propane line as it crimps right where it exits the fiver body to the scissor arm so there is no propane while the slide is in. I'm also not sure an unprotected rubber gas line deep within the fiver body is a good idea. The residential fridge is now an option and I would get it.
We looked at the Mobile Suites but didn't like the fact that the fridge or bathroom were not accessible with the slides in.
