We had a 2011 Carriage Cameo shorty (31KSLS) and loved the build quality of that rig. We traded it in for a special order 2014 Lifestyle (Carriage build style) LS36fw. Our issues have been minimal and are not a result of poor build quality. Its a solid rig and we are happy with it. We did order the 17.5 wheels/tires and disc brakes. Stops great! Like Dutch & Di said above, look to the Carriage/Lifestyle owners forum. It offers a wealth of info from an incredible bunch of Carriage and Lifestyle fifth wheel owners. Happy shopping in the New Year, Phillip
