Don't disown me

Well, due to recent issues with the Cat's wall and the fact that I can't stand to have any money in my bank account, we ordered a new unit yesterday. We ordered a 32FWS Cameo. It will be ready by the end of April. We went with Debra @ Tiara RV in Elkhart due to the price. They got down to the same price my local dealer wanted for a Cedar Creek that we were very interested in. They also are giving me the same trade-in price as my local dealer. If anybody is wondering a 2004 27rl is worth $12,300 retail (they are giving me $12), so I am happy with the price.

We didn't go with another Cat for a couple of reasons; no gen prep, no separate slide out controls / valves, and the one we really liked (31TS) had a lack of counter space. We have been very happy with the Cat and the wife is already talking about how she is going to miss it and maybe we should back out of the new one. I am looking very forward to the Big Foot Leveling system that comes standard on the Cameos.

I hope you guys / girls will still let me ask / answer questions on here. The first thing I do every morning is check this site for new posts.

I wouldn't disown you. But I'm too young here to say either way. The old veterns will have to vote. LOL
Hope you enjoy your new fiver

Have a question. What's the Pin weight and Gross weight of the Cameo 32FWS? Thanks Jim

Too darn high! Gross weight is 12k, pin is 2,200.

I wouldn't disown you Brad...We still have camping to do and diamonds to dig together!!

I just took a gander at that Cameo floor plan and photos...WOO-WEE, that's a nice rv!! And one massive slideout!!

TC

Very nice!

The Cameo's were our absolute favorites at a recent RV show we attended.

Simply beautiful campers. Congrats!

If you had of only had 693 post I was gonna disown ya.

But since you have 695 post, you just did make it, I guess we better keep you around, you know to many secrets.


Enjoy the new camper......

Once a friend - always a friend

Thanks!!! Phillip, I sure am glad I answered another post this morning, or else I would have fallen short.

TC, I will gladly let you gander at that massive slide when you come down to see the diamonds, they found another giant over the weekend. Seems like the news said it was 6 carrotts.

That slide was one of the major selling points. It is a narrow slide, but the length of the coach.

Hi Brad,

Well, as Keith said, once a friend, always a friend. Thanks for all your input and mods and suggestions.

I'm sure a Cameo forum exists, but it can't be as good as ours.

We haven't decided yet.



Well, okay. Gotta love ya - you live so close to Texas.

It looks like an awesome rig. Enjoy it!!

I have this terrible feeling that a group hug is on the horizon..

Group hugs on the way.

Thanks all, I don't feel near as guilty now!!! Although, when I'm out in the barn, I think the Cat knows what's up and is getting ready to pounce on me!!!

Here is a link to some pics of what we ordered. Pretty much the same thing.

WOW!!! that is VERY nice. I really like the Bigfoot levelers. Good luck with it

So, have you picked up the Cameo yet? If not when will you be getting it?

Brad,

With a tongue weight of 2200#, is your 2500 going to be able to handle that much weight?

TC

We are supposed to pick it up in the end of April sometime, still do not have an exact date.

As far as the weight, I was a little concerned about it, but got to looking around and all the Cameo's I see are being pulled by the same truck I have. I would prefer a dually, if for no other reason than more stability, but can't afford one right now. When I haul hay, I am well over 2200 on the tongue of the 30' gooseneck trailer. I have the airbags to keep things level. I hauled this load just over 100 miles through the Ozark mountains. Ramses (the truck) loved it.

The Cameo is built and ready for me to pick it up. Due to my schedule, I will have to wait until the 27th to head up to Elkhart to pick it up. I'm not sure I can wait that long..... Here are some pics the dealer sent me. Phillip, if you need the server space, please delete them since they are not Wildcat.











This pic is not of my exact camper, but it shows the massive slide

The generator is being installed today along with a chassis mounted Progressive Surge Protector.

Very nice!! Good luck with it

I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but be sure to do an extensive PDI before you sign the papers.

All that AND a coffee table too??? Now I'm REALLY jealous!!

TC

Nice cameo.


Putting pic's within the forum doesn't take up space its free to do that.

Its in the Gallery itself that cost to post pic's.


Have fun with your new camper.

Absolutely beautiful!

I love the woodwork and the nice doors leading to the bath and bedroom.

We've looked at several and loved every one of them!

very very nice unit . just put wildcat stickers on it and it will be fine .Jim

That is actually a very good idea!!! I can just imagine all the questions I would get about where I got a Wildcat with a full wall slide.

I plan on about a 2 hour PDI, is that enough time? When I bought the current one, I didn't know enough to do an inspection, the dealer made me do one and they went through and showed me how to operate every little thing. I lucked out and got a good dealer.
