The Cameo is TOP QUALITY! The furniture is very comfortable and made of quality materials and solid wood, so is the cabinetry.it pulls very easy behind our dodge diesel, and the self-levelling Bigfoot hydraulics makes set up fast and easy! Would I buy another one? Absolutely!

We loved this RV. The layout is perfect. It is very easy to pull and to set up. It has so much storage. My wife pulled it often, with no issues. The layout was perfect for us. We used air mattresses for the grandkids and they loved it. It provides the privacy one needs also. We are the second owner. When we purchased it, the plastic covers were still on the bed. The stickers were still on the shower. The only major tool on it, is sun fading on the exterior. We have kept it in a garage the whole time we had it, until this past year.

This is a solid built home which happens to be rather simple to make mobile. Within fifteen mi utes literally you can be on the road driving, with setup being super simple 10 minute evolution. I love this camper and am proud to own one but due to family curcumstances she must go to a new home. We are taking a loss, or paying it forward for someone to enjoy this easy towing fully loaded coach. You won’t get a better deal, point blank.

I bought this in 2012 and had to store it (outside)i return 8 years later hooked up and took off. It pulled just like the day I got, no critters got in it and everything worked. The font decals need replaced thats it. The stripes r fine. This is beautiful inside plenty of light gets in driver side pop out has sky lights, which is beautiful feature. Its to bad carriage is no more. love this trailer

When we first started looking for a used fifth wheel, we wanted to purchase something that was at least a 2010 or newer. We looked at a lot of them, but none impressed us. When we saw this one for sale, over two years ago, even though it was a 2008 we were so impressed with it that we decided to go look at it. Upon inspecting it and being very impressed with the high quality of the Domani, the great condition it was in and all the nice features, including the exceptionally large outside storage, we decided that we would but it even though it was two years older and a little higher priced that we had wanted. We have been very happy and are changing to a little larger unit.

Very well built with a comfortable floor plan and solid build. Easy to tow . Very solid. With its weight it is very stable on the road. These 36 foot Carri~Lite by Carriage units are very well built and last longer than most RV units. This RV is the farthest from flimsy of all RVs. This particular unit, if well maintained, should last 40+ years.

The quality is amazing..... it pulls like a dream ...... and the functionality is unmatched. Love this fifth wheel! We are getting a new Travel trailer and I am so sad to see this one go. The one who gets it will be lucky!

Besides having a power awning, it also has a built in vacuum system, Power jacks in front and rear, day/ night blinds beautiful glass pane door for the bedroom area with privacy blinds on that too.Solid wood cabinets not the pressed wood so many cheaper units have. This is built like an upscale home and it shows in every way.

This trailer travels well and good living conditions. Lots of storage space in outer compartments and inside. Queen sized bed, couch converts to double bed, dining table also converts to a bed.shower, sink facility and toilet, washer and dryer, A/C, furnace and hot water heater, Microwave, gas stove, with fan vent, coffee maker and paper towel roll. It has 3 water tanks, fresh, gray and sewage. It has a 5 cubic foot freezer that could be replaced for a comfortable swivel chair if desired.The heater gives good heat inside and under floor level to heat a large storage area along with the water pipes and water tanks to prevent freezing. It is easily winterized for winter storage. It has a DC water pump and an electric converter to go from AC to DC along with an outside city water connection with a water filter and pressure regulator and an inlet to fill the water tank.Electric, water and sewer connections.

This 5th wheel has been the best i have ever owned. I lived in it for many years full time. I had plenty of room to move around and was very comfortable with the the three slides. Pulls very good and sets up easy.

This RV held up remarkable well. Only problem was with some gussets in the front area, factory picked up RV and made the repairs. Never a problem since. Tires were a little underrated for this trailer, replaced with a J rated tire and wheel.

The Cameo is known for its durability. RVers familiar with them will attest to it. Lots of models have cosmetics to draw in buyers and list for less but lack the sturdiness of Cameo. They contain extras for ease of living but also built for years of towing. We know. We have owned one for 5 years.

Love the roominess, king size bed nice shower & it has three slides excellent condition with two air conditioners, one the nicest 5th wheels that i've ever seen.i want to purchase this camper soon because i plan on loving in it around three months a year..

I bought it new and stored it inside the life of the trailer. I have traveled miles with it and had no brake downs in 34 years. I feel the the model I have is the best layout and equipped for a popup they have ever made. It is actually a J-King 6 not the 1207.I have had issues with the lift system and with the lifetime warranty Jayco took care of the problem without any hesitation.

This is an over designed RV with travel in mind by incorporating a specially designed frame coupled with independent suspensyand hydraulic disc brakes. Well designed for comfort with quality furnature, for business with a well placed desk and comfortable living with packed insulation

My wife and I have had the Cameo for 2 years now. It has bèen very well kept, both by us and by the original owners. We only have about 4,000 miles on it, towed with an F-350 diesel dually, and it tows great, about 11 mpg. We have spent 2 summers in it, though, and it is very comfortable for extended stays. The Bigfoot leveling system, built-in vacuum, and overall build quality of the Cameo have us totally spoiled. I would highly recommend even a nice, used Cameo over most of the junk currently being manufactured. I only gave 1 star for manufacturer support, because sadly Cameo was driven out of business several years ago, and factory support no longer exists.

I am the original owner and have never had any major problems. It rides smooth with the Mor-ryde system. The only maintenance issues I have had is replacing the converter. Other than that I’ve had no problems. If I could make change it would be to add auto levelers. Regular maintenance to sustains seals, lubricating slide outs, waxing, etc. are essential for any 5th wheel.

Great size and features easy to use I wish the decals were better I will have a hard time replacing this unit it is too bad that carriage is no longer in business I hear that someone is making cameos again but I don't know anything more than that

Bought new in 2010. Very Good condition . Only used about a dozen times. Leather sofa. Has built in Dirt Devil vacuum system. Sky lights. 3 flat screen tvs. Plus much more. Has lots of storage space inside and out.

I inherited this RV from my dad. He only had used it 8 times before his health failed in 2012.He lived in Oregon. I put it in the shop for maintenance and cleaning before the long trip home to Michigan. I've kept it at an RV Park for the past 3 years and enjoy the comforts of it. It is in great condition with regular upkeep and maintenance. My wife and I have bought a new 5th Wheel. We're selling the Carri-Lite

We owned several RV's over the years, maybe five. After purchasing the Cameo we never even considered another RV. It is a beautiful place to relax in and to entertain in. We never had problems with it, never really let us down. Towing was much easier than other units we owned. We parked it in a very tight space and the Cameo was much easier to maneuver.

Carri-Lites are extremely well made 5th wheels. In 12 years of RVing we never had a serious problem. The floorplan was ideal for us having a desk for my computer and radio work and very generous cabinet space for my wife. There is nothing about our XTRM5 that I diskliked - except for the propane fridge that I replaced with a Samsung residential- fantastic upgrade!

we bought this unit as our "home" on wheels. being fulltimers, it had everything we wanted. Lots (!!) of storage, pull out shelving in many of the cabinets, was very spacious with the slides out and was incredibly well constructed and comfortable. it also has a "joey bed"in the basement, Big Foot leveling system and trip-axle, which my husband (as a former truck driver) totally appreciated. we absolutely loved this unit! we'd planned to live on the road for several more years and then setting this unit up in a permanent location when the time came. sadly, life happens and plans change. my husband passed away a few months ago and this unit is just too much for me to handle alone. this is the only reason for me looking for another appreciative owner and selling it (with or without the international 4700 toter). this was the Cadillac of 5th wheels in it's day, but the carriage company is now out of business (thus the 1-star rating)

A perfect RV in every way. They don't make them with this kind of quality anymore. I have owned two and each one is living the dream. 4 seasons with a great frame with no worries. The interior is real wood and not cheap plastic.

Carriage made a solid construction top to bottom. Frames from sturdy 7 and 11 gauge box tube steel to ensure a high quality, solid foundation. Slide-outs are powered by smooth and quiet running 12V electric motor while the rack and pinion gear system provides trouble -proof . Love the floor plan with 5 slides for plenty of room and storage. Easy to access rear cargo and storage area outside. Have a home now and do not plan to RV. Great for someone starting out.
