To all Cardinal owners how would you on a scale from 1 to 10 rate the quality your Cardinal (10 being best).

Would you buy another Cardinal?

Would you use your Cardinal for snowbirding?

Would you fulltime in your Cardinal?
 
We had a 2000 33' I think it was an RLE LX. I thought that the quality was excellent and would not have been afraid to snowbird in it. At an RV show a couple of years ago my wife got in a Mobile Suites and I had to pry her out with a crowbar. We finally traded about a year ago but still never had any problems with the Cardinal. The Mobile Suites has some better features for full timing, such as thicker walls and larget storage, but as far as quality and price I dont think you could beat the Cardinal.

Cardinal Camper

What's happening I don't own a Cardinal I have a 2006 Mobile Suite but have been up at the dealer looking at some new Cardinals and boy do they have some terrific floor plans. I wish they would have come out before I bought my Mobile Suite I would have jumped on one in a minute. I think they are a great value for the money. About 20,000 less than my Mobile Suite and with about twice as much room.

As always good camping

Is there another site that has active discussion on Cardinals? I have a friend who is looking at them, and I'd like to direct him to some site where he could get more info on them.

thanks,

tc2kcard,
Thanks for the reply, but very old post. Friend went on to a HitchHiker.

I have a 2024 35ft Cardinal, purchased it used. After owning 5 previous 5th wheels this is the worse camper out there. All the slides leak, daylight coming through the corners, belly filling with water that drains from the roof AC.

The dealer Ketelsen is by gar the worse of the worse. They assured me this was one of their original purchases and in excellent condition. Total fraud.
 
We had a Cardinal (2017 3456-RL) and it was probably the best quality of all of our fifth wheels we've owned (four since 2007). Honestly, I wish we still had it. It was a 41' model and as we got into our 70s we decided it was probably time to downsize. But, I miss the luxury, comfort and quality of that Cardinal.
