Take time and go and see one made at each place. This will let you make up your mind. I have the living room up front I like it there for it set up so you can see. DO not get a rear dinning room.


WIfe and I both had to laugh and say "yeah right" over this one!! We don't have a manufacturer of any in our state,so too far to go to do this,its not like they would all be in one area or state.We did go to the plant in Winchester,Va to see how the Artic Fox was made. It would be a good idea but not something we can do,thats why we are asking questions on here. I only remember seeing one that the living room was up front,most are in the rear and no we would definitely not consider anything with a rear kitchen. Thanks for you input.

Had the same basic choice and Carriage won by a landslide. Haven't been sorry either.

I love my Jayco. But I would do some searching on this and other sites on the makes you mention and see which ones keep popping up with problems or complaints. None are perfect. But some makes seem to have more topics listed on these sites with people dealing with defects or problems. I noticed when I was looking at toyhaulers there was one make that kept popping up in forum topics with problems so much that I crossed it off my list.

Looked at Carriage Carri-Lite , Nu Wa Champaign, and Mobile Suite. Bought the latter, but all seemed to be quality rigs.

BTW, Nu-Wa no longer has wood framing.

Can understand that people are happy with Jayco's for quality be I have yet to see one with a decor we could live with. Interior designers need to go back to school for some remedial colour and print coordination.
Seems they bought complete run of one vinyl flooring colour as it is the same whether looking at a tent trailer, pull trailer or 5th wheel.
Go with a Cameo
Hope I have not offended anyone but I wish Jayco would do a little better on the decor side.

Well we have seen some ugly,unpleasant looking decors in all brands we have looked at,I think the decorators must be color blind,or just don't care.

On paper I would say the order of quality would be Carriage, NuWa and probably could flip-flop with the Jayco and Heartland. But what good is the best quality with a non-functional floorplan. JMOA. Steve A. Dagro

I'm so offended and my feelings are so hurt I don't know if I'll be able to go on.

Oh, wait, I'm over it.

I love this decor. MY TASTE

Actually if you filled that up with Hobie kayaks I'd like it better.
