Newbie looking for some info

[Cv67cheng]

Hello, I am new to RV.NET but we are not new to RVing or fivers, had a 32 ft cameo back in 04-07, the wife and I are looking to get another fiver. I am looking for a reliable brand that comes with MOR/RYDE suspension, heat pumps and furnaces and is well built. We are looking for 32 - 35 ft, max 14500 GVWR. Any input and suggestions are welcome. We live in the Williamsburg VA area. Thanks in advance.

There's a reason 4 out of every 10 Fivers are Montana's. Had two during the last 10yrs. The BEST!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone, really appreciate the info on the Carriage replacement. Used is Ok, just want something that will be sturdy with lower maintenance requirements. Will be pulling with 2014 F350 SC, Long Box dually.
Thanks again, Bob

NUWA & Teton would be USED only......both are no longer making trailers.

x2 on Lifestyle. Excel, Nu-Wa. New Horizons or Teton if money is no option.

We're buying our 2nd Jayco - this time a FW. Love the two year warranty and they stand behind what they sell.

The Lifestyle brand has taken over the floorplans, construction methods and even a lot of the personnel from the now defunct Carraige brand. The trailers are essentially the same with some improvements. If you were happy with your Carraige this might be a great way to go. It looks like several dealers have some left over 2013s at bargain prices.

Lifestyles makes very similar models to a Cameo. The same type frame work. They make their own frames. You can order them with a Mor/ryde pinbox and Mor/ryde independent suspension. Also disc brakes, a super option.

Unless he/she/they have had several different brands (or major problems).....the one they have now is "the best".

A good place to start would be visiting dealers and shows and see what you like that fits your wallet.

*Then* come back and ask for owners of your favorite/s for their opinions.

Also, don't rule out used units.

Generally, MorRyde suspension and/or pin box can be included as an option when ordering a new RV.

Happy hunting!.;)

Morride was used by Sunnybrook a lot since 03 but their 5ers are heavy. Mine is under 32' and about 12k just with water LP and batteries. GVW is 15k. Good choice on the Morride! This is my first and it won't be my last. The ride is amazing! Craig

NU-WA is a good place to start.
