Buying used 2011 Cameo - Need input

Sorry about the Alpenlite. Saw an Alpenlite on the FB page of that generation for sale. Worth the drive to pick it up from the west coast. Like the Cameos but like the 2000 to 2005 Alpenlite better. My 2007 34RLR has a great flooplan. The Lippert frame, with mods, has stood up to about 100,000 miles & 1500 nights use.

Bought a 2011 Carriage Cameo in 2011, mainly because of the frame and Big Foot levelers.

Have not had any problems with it. Added disk brakes and a water softener. There is a Carriage Group but i have had no reason to go there. PM me if more info is needed..

Fred, sent you a PM.

We have a 2011 Cameo 31KSLS. We bought it new and it has been essentially problem free. We wanted the carriage frame. The Bigfoot leveling system was a bonus but now it would be a requirement if we had to buy another trailer.
Our unit has Hehr dual pane windows and they have been the problem area in the trailer. We have had several of our windows fog.
If we had to replace this unit, we would definitely try to find another Cameo.

Thanks for the reply CMSM. The units we've researched so far do not seem to have the double pane windows. I assume, given where you live, the heater works well!

I have a 2010 36FWS that I'm very happy with.

Go here for a bunch of good advice from some very smart people:

We have the 2011.. purchased it new. Dealer ordered it new with all options, including full body paint. It’s still a beautiful trailer. Also a ksls model. I would go for a used unit.

We have a 2010 Cameo 36FWS. We haven’t had any problems, exact a major one, unfortunately, due to my negligence. We purchased our Cameo in 2014. No regrets.

We purchased a new 2011 Cameo 31KSLS and traded it for a 2014 Lifestyle which was a new company started with the remnants of Carriage, most its employees, and most of their designs.
It's going on 5 years old and it has been a great rig. They have great frames and good build quality as well as hung sidewalls instead of laminated.
Check it over good like you would anything used.
Good luck.
