 1. ONLY BASEMENT-MODEL 5TH WHEELS MADE
              A BASEMENT = HUGE BENEFITS  

Two separate floors run the full length of the trailer:  Both are decked with 5/8” exterior plywood instead of OSB (Structured Wood) & both are insulated with a vapor barrier.

The two floors are about one foot apart & a portion of the return air flows through this basement, which keeps your floor warmer in the winter, protects anything you store in the basement, & keeps all of the plumbing lines & holding tanks from freezing.  

This basement lets us give you storage across the rear of the trailer that other manufacturers can’t. This makes it possible for you to balance your load so that the weight of all of your cargo is not placed on your truck.

The most important benefit you gain from this basement is that unlike our competitors we don’t have to cut large holes through the middle of our frame for the slideout mechanism to pass through which weakens the frame.

2. ONLY 5TH WHEEL MANUFACTURER WITH A FULL WALL SLIDEOUT

3. AUTOMATIC HYDRAULIC LEVELERS = ONE BUTTON LEVELS THE WHOLE TRAILER

4. TINTED WINDOWS & PAINTED ALUMINUM MOLDINGS give the trailer a richer look, but more importantly we have eliminated almost all of the rubber inserts that usually shrink up & mildew & take away from the good looks the trailer once had. This makes a huge difference on the appearance after a few years.

5. TWO-YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY

6. FIVE-YEAR STRUCTURE WARRANTY

 ***BOTH OF THESE WARRANTIES APPLY EVEN IF YOU LIVE IN YOUR TRAILER FULL TIME. Most of our competitors state in their warranties that their trailer is intended for limited usage.  READ THE WARRANTY!   IT MATTERS!

7. ALUMINUM BOX- TUBE FRAMING ON 16” CENTERS, WELDED ON BOTH SIDES.

While some competitors use box tubing, some space them 2 to 3 feet apart & sometimes even farther, & some even screw them together with sheet metal screws instead of welding them to save money.  We do it right.

8. CARRIAGE IS TRULY A HIGH-END 5TH WHEEL MANUFACTURER:   (Unlike most of our competitors, who primarily build entry-level & mid-range trailers.)

Although the Cameo is way above most of the competition in quality & features, it is the low end of the Carriage Line. Most of the trailers that people compare the Cameo to are built by manufacturers that started building entry-level & mid-range trailers & have added bells & whistles to try to create an upper line trailer. Carriage, on the other hand, strictly builds high end 5th wheels starting with Cameo, then Carri-Lite, then Carriage, & finally the Royals International ($130,000 to $140,000). When you compare our Carriage Cameo to other brands, the difference stands out clearly.

9. VINYL ROOFS, NOT RUBBER:  Vinyl roofs last longer & don’t stain & mildew like rubber .

10. OUR CABINETS ARE REAL STAINED HARDWOOD (& not just the doors like most trailers). The cabinet faces are also real wood, not a vinyl-wrapped particle board.  We stand by our high quality.
