Carriage Cameo

[Blackcell]

Just traded our 2010 Keystone Outback fiver for '09 Carriage Cameo 35SB3. Went from low-end to high class in one leap. One owner, looks barely used, roof was excellent, no signs of water damage, common wear & tear was next to zero including the carpet. Immaculate condition inside and out. Everyone (non sales folks) I spoke with said its a dreamboat and few can compare to it. I'll spend months just learning all the new features I've never had before.

We looked over Mobile Suites, Montana, Lifestyle, Heartland, Landmark, Hitchhiker and came right back to Carriage. The layout, quality, features, and overall solid built package just seemed to us a step above the rest while considering price factor.

We do the walk-thru and pick it up next Saturday along with upgraded hitch. I can barely sleep :B.

Well, I've obviously already made the decision but just curious if any current or former Carriage owners are/were happy with their fiver unit? If were not satisfied I'd be interested in hearing.

Thanks!

Did right buying used. Bought 4 new rv's and took in the shorts on every one. Last one bought used and a pretty good deal on a quality fifth wheel.

They would be even better if they didn't pop out the outside trim screws!! Keep checking them.

I have no problems using the new Carriage Lifestyle Owners forum. Here is the link: http://www.carriage-lifestyle-owners.com/index.php.

Do something about the tires(Duro). Goodyear G614's or switch to 17.5 rims and 215/75R17.5's and LRH GY G114's. Chris

Here is an old website for Carriage Owners (www.Carriageowners.net)you may find interesting. I know there is a more current forum out there, but I had difficulty using it, so I did not include it here. There is a lot of useful information at this forum and lots of advice from Carriage owners.

We have the same model in a 2010 year and had issues with the tires being defective and plumbing leaks, all of which have been fixed. Also the independent suspension on both sides failed after 6,000 miles as well. MorRyde took care of this issue even though the unit was out of warranty, they covered the parts.
Overall I think you will enjoy this model...............

Carriage made a very nice unit.

Carriage was on my short list but when I found one for sale I couldn't get to it fast enough before someone else bought it! Only bad thing I have ever heard is that Carriage is no longer in business. I think some other big RV mfgr bought the rights to the name?? but not the quality.
