We have had a motor home for 6 years, and in March looked at a 2007 used Cameo 35SB3, and wow, forgot about our friends Montana 3400 RL, no comparsion,in all area's of construction and floor plan's use of room. Well I bought the truck now can't find another used 2007 Cameo 35 SB3, and new isn't in our budget, plus a lot of dealers won't take class A's in trade. Maybe some day.
Carriage you build the very best, period.

Re: Louise Lawrence
As a 40 year over the road truck driver, I may be able to shead some light on Tow Vehicles.
If the gvwr is 11,000-13,000 your should be able to get by with a 3/4 ton Pickup. Anything over 13,000 gvwr I would have nothing less that a 1 ton dually.
Dodge has 650 ftlbs of torque, Ford has 735 ftlbs and Gm has 765. It depends on which brand you like.
I currently have an 06 GMC crewcab 4x4 dually with 126,000 miles on it. I do hotshot work and am grossed approx. 30,000 75% of the time. The Duramax is an excellant engine, still is very strong and burns no oil. I have replaced the brakes, shocks a water pump, that is all.
A tip on tires, buy the best. I run Michelen LTX, with 88,000 miles on them and expect to last another 10-15,000 miles. Excellant on wet roads and snow and ice.
Bottom line, you cannot have too much horsepower or torque. I am waiting for the GMC's to hit the show rooms, thats my next truck for towing anything.
Best wishes, Ken

We have a late 2001 Newmar Kountry Star, gas 37', with Allison trans, on a Work Horse chassis, 2 slides, & 43 K miles, A-1 and want to go to a Cameo 5th. wheel, such as Model,F35SB3 or F34SB3 in the 2006 to 2007 year range.
The Newmar could be traded for or sold out right to make this happen.

anything close to Ft. Wayne, In.

We love our Cameo SB3 model.. it is awesome with plenty of room for us and guest. My friends call it my 5th avenue home. I encourage anyone who is looking for a 5th wheel to consider the Cameo.

I just recently purchased a Cameo 31KS3. As an RV salesperson who sells the Carriage line, I can honestly say that these units are the best dollar value bar none. They don't have a disclaimer for full time living, and after visiting their plant on various occassions you realize the the meticulous care that goes into manufacturing this coach makes it a leader in the industry. Being in the industry,I could have bought any manufacturers product, but I chose to buy a Carriage because of price and superb quality.

I have a Cameo 5th Wheel 35SLQ and we are full time RVers, it is our home and we are very happy with it. We have so far never had a problem, I compared a cameo to a lot of 5th wheels and by far the workmanship on the cameo was far superior to anything we looked at.

We purchase a 2008 Cameo, Model # F35SB3 in July 07. We love our new house on wheels. We will be full timers next year. We spent countless hours searching for the best 5th wheel that our money can buy and we found it. It has plenty of room space for the two of us and if we have our grandson for a week or two, there is room for him and his toys as well. I highly recommend Carriage Inc to anyone looking for a dream house on wheel.

We are looking for a new or used Carriage. The only real requirement is it MUST have an Arizona room. The Arizona room is the most awesome thing Ive seen in an RV, and I think it will help my wife's Seasonal affective disorder!

We just got a 2007 Cameo and WE realy love it. It had what we wanted in a fifth wheel. It is the SB3.

We have a 2005 Cameo and we love it. We're fulltimers and we intend to keep this rig as long as possible. The floorplan is really perfect and it tows better than I could ever have imagined. 10/10. Strongly recommended.

The F35SLQ is one of the nicest floor plans we have seen.

Our 2005 Cameo has never had a problem. This is the best coach for fulltimers in our opinion.

We have a 2006 Cameo and love it. We think this is the nicest interior of any 5er we've seen.

We've had our Cameo for just over a year and in that time the only problem we had was with the fantastic fan which was fixed by the dealer. We're fulltimers and we're very happy with the Cameo, it's the shortest length model but we find it has plenty of space. We bought the Cameo after recommendation from a fulltiming friend who has had his for 2 years with no problems. A great buy for a fulltimer.

We decided to go fulltime in 2005 and wanted the best trailer we could find for the money we could afford. We visited Carriage in Indiana and were very impressed. We decided on the Cameo as having most of what we wanted. We've never regretted it, any problems we had were quickly dealt with by the dealer and we've really done nothing other than regular maintenance. The new SB3 looks great, I particularly like the side isle and the fully enclosed bathroom.
