We have a 2007 Carriage Carri-Lite 5th wheel. I also found that the island was only screwed down to the main floor with a few long-ish wood screws. I had originally thought it might be bolted down...

You may want to try some of the large RV wrecking yards for the same or similar make/model that has an intact front cap. Or possibly a good RV custom repair shop that can essentially fabricate a new...

We have a 2007 Carriage Carri-lite, I think it was called a 36 foot, but measures about 38 feet. For many years I towed with a 2005 Ford F250 Diesel. Eventually I learned that I was over the weight...

And if you do decide to upgrade the suspension, which would be a very good idea, consider the MORryde independent system and also their rubber pin box as well. Those systems combined will give you...

I also find it quite handy to know with reasonable accuracy what the voltage & current flow is on each leg, but then, I'm an electrician by trade. I've trained my wife to know what she can plug in...

I can't see any issue cutting that area off. I can sympathize with you on the height of the Ram bed and sides. With my old Ford 2005 F250 diesel I could just barely step up into the box, but now we...

I see some similarities to our 2006 Carri-lite 36 foot model. We looked at a Royals model but it wasn't traditional-looking enough for my wife. I've had much to repair, alter and update on our unit...

Looks like quite the project! Will your wife take turns driving it? I can't even get my wife to drive our pickup by itself, let alone pulling our 38" 5th wheel.
