Wow! didn't you just make my day, week no Year. I'm so glad you found our reply helpful.
Once you get out on the road, you will find there are many of us who have been on the road for years and still love it.
We would love to meet up with you and have a nice long chat. Believe me, we long time fulltimers or just long time RV'ers have tons of stories and information to share.
I'm happy to see you bought your Carriage. While there is so much to learn and the people here are so helpful, I'd like to give you the links to 2 Carriage forums and the Carriage Travel Club where there are chapter campouts and national rallies.
The original Carriage forumAnother great place to ask & learn about CarriageThis is a group you pay to join and have access to rallies, campouts etc.I hope this helps and feel free to ask questions of anyone on this and Carriage forums. Hugs, Di

We bought our 38' triple axle, triple slide Carriage Conestoga new in 1996 and hit the road fulltiming in January of 1997. We are now in our 20th year of fulltiming with ours and love the lifestyle and everything is still working fine. We did have her re-painted in 2010 and had some color updating on the inside-new carpet & countertops and reupholstered our couch and kitchen chairs. Dutch maintains the outside meticulously as I do the inside. We do usually add/change or update something every few years to keep her fresh. Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide.

Curious, does anyone on here, have a Carriage product for full time? Or know of a friend who does? Any opinions?
We have an opportunity for one, it's a 27' rear kitchen, with 2 slides. We do winter in Canada, and we already have an Okanagan which is real good quality, but just wonder if anyone has experience with a Carriage. It's the Compass C2, and we do RV Full Time in Canada all year round.
We did look at a short video detailing construction, but all companies say theirs is the best. (smiles)
WOW! 20 years? I would surely love to meet you folks and sit at your feet. I'm sure we could learn so very much. Thanks for the input on the Carriage. We ended up buying it, and it's very well built.
