Excel Closing Its Doors

We can go back and forth all day long, I just know that my 2011 Cameo is heads and heels above the $50k units I see out there. I'm glad you think you are happy with them! Mine listed for $87,500. I paid $57,000 so I didn't pay much more, but the quality is so much more with the double stacked rolled steel frames. I see the brochures that say the R-factor insulation is even higher then mine, but I talk to the owners who have two heaters on in 35 degree weather and are still cold and we have just our fireplace on and are cozy!
I have people who complain about how noisy the park is we are at (urban area), and then come into our coach even with the door open and comment how quiet it is.
They have astro-foil in the windows and have both airs on, we don't but usually only have one air (smaller bedroom) on unless it hits 100 plus.

Theirs don't even offer disk brakes ours did and does. Ours had auto hydraulic Bigfoot levelers stock.

Really sad to Excel go! Not to many high end ones left. Our friend is ready to purchase in about a year and fulltime and he is really disappointed about what is left! Not much quality for a person to live in. :(

Ditto on the Cameo solid quality. We had a 2011 Cameo 31ksls for 2 years. Loved the feel of it so much that we traded it for an ordered 2014 Lifestyle LS36fw.
The bottom line is....1) buy what you like in the price range you can afford, 2) don't hold it against anyone that they spent more or less than you did or their RV. Its the same with cars. They all do the same thing....get from point a to point b, burn fuel, and depreciate. Yet you can spend $30k for a Hyundai or $80k for a Benz.
I have no regrets for spending the purchase price of my Lifestyle. I know its a quality rig and will last a long time due to some its unique build characteristics. I'm sure Excel owners feel the same way. Sorry to see the company go but I'm sure those who have an Excel know that they have a rig with lasting quality. Phillip
