Roof racks....

The three pickups all tow fifth wheels. Obviously, the Suburban does not :h
Up to 12 foot kayaks.

RE: Carriage Cameo at La Mesa RV

Depends what model.....
If it's one of the big boys, like a 37RQS, or CKSLS, then that's not terrible for a trailer that lists at $91,000...
Don't forget the 8% price increase they had in 2012.

RE: NADA vs Dealer pricing

What is it worth to you?
Typically, the trade is worth twice the NADA RETAIL value, and then you want to pay wholesale on the new one.
Just saying.......typical scenario.

It has opposing kitchen slides, a slide out bunkroom with 2nd dinette, and a small outside kitchen. Also, industry leading pass thru storage in front.

RE: Primetime Lacrosse 318bhs experience

An FYI on the smooth "E-stone" countertops........
Prime Time has recognized the fact that the shiny tops are relatively soft and scratch easily.
The newest builds will be using a different top, that is much closer to the durability of Corian. It has a slightly duller apperance, but is much harder, and won't scratch as easily.

RE: How much sag?

Hey Matt,
You know I had my '06 Dodge hooked to our 5er, and I had put the Timbrens on to just ride level when loaded.
No major sag, just hauled firewood and all our other "goodies". I'm estimating 2200lbs of pin weight when loaded....
I also need to change my pic.....just too lazy I guess.

RE: 5th Airborne and Pull Rite Super Glide

I can tell you from experince that it is because of the airbag in the Fifth Airborne.
I have the same set up, and it is a b*itch sometimes to get the hitch to latch.
I can back into the pin 10 times, and move the 5er up and down, and it still won't latch. Get it "just right" and it latches in one time.
The airbag and shock doesn't let the pinbox "ride" up onto the hitch plate like a normal hitch. It more "rolls", because the airbag gives. The Pullrite hitches have such tight tolerances around the pin, that it needs to go in perfect to latch.

RE: Does this floor plan exist

I would say an Alpine also, but a 3700RL.
Or their new front living room model.
Perhaps an Avalanche 341TG?? Could be an adult bunk model.

RE: Crazy price on a unit.

Cost is still cost folks.....
Do you really think a dealer will sell at a loss just to move an orphaned coach...??
So far, since Carriage has gone down, we had 5 new 2012's on our lot, and 3 have sold.
And they weren't given away under cost......

RE: Cargo Carrier for carrying kayaks behind RV?

If they are "smaller" (not sure what you consider small), they would go on a truck roof mounted rack easily. I carry 4 on mine, with the longest being 12 ft. Doesn't interfere with cap at all.
Keep in mind that you can't be over 102 inches wide, so if you go horizontal behind the 5w, you may be wider than that.

RE: We still plan on buying a Cameo how about you?

One of the most expensive problems occurs when some section delaminates. Are you positive the warranty covers replacing the $$$$ worth of sides if there is some water intrusion. Haven't seen an after market warranty, yet, that covers that kind of damage.
Good part about a Carriage.......it can't delam.
It has hung fiberglass, not bonded.
