RE: Fallen in love with a Carri-lite
Not going to address the weight of that unit, our 05 32RS3 has a factory gross limitr of 14.4k and tips the scales at 13.1 when loaded for a months travel.
Love the quality and features. Yes, Carriage is history but not a concern once unit has been through initial shakedown period.
We did 13 states in 3 weeks last summer, in comfort and reliability.

RE: 2001 Ford F-350
Great truck, with that weight it should last you a long time. With that price, I'd expect some maintenance history. Ball joints should have been replaced and scheduled service on transmission and cooling system should have been done.
I tow 13K with mine and have passed continental divide signs several times, usually around 45mph.

RE: 2001 F350 7.3L
Mine tows 13k with ease, crosses the Rockies at 45mph. As stated, trannie and CPS are weak points, Ford now has a heavier replacement trannie as well as aftermarket suppliers, go International for CPS.

RE: Slide out scratching wood floor
Have not tried this yet, saw a solution where thin plywood was attached to the non-skid material used in RV cabnets and then placed in slide path when bringing in slide (no skid, thin, inexpensive).

RE: Replacing exterior slide out gasket/seal on Carriage Cameo
If you mean the flange gasket, seal when slide closed, the last one I did was self adhesive and pretty simple. clean it well and don't get in a hurry. The hard part may be finding the right seal material, I got mine from Carriage at $1 a foot.

RE: That was weird.....
Could have been a good thing, we were camped in a city park in OK last June. Banging on door late in evening (after bedtime) was city cops warning of tornado liklyhood.
I agree with prior statements, if you don't know what to do with gun You shouldn't have it.

RE: Dexter Never Lube
Only option on these is replace. have seen both 5 and 10 year guidelines for replacement. Have not found anyone local that I trust to do replace (requires "special" press?).

RE: 5th wheel hitching mirror
I have adjusted hitch and pinbox to point where they meet at about the bed rail level. Now I can see match in rear view mirror. Also, a spot of white paint on front center of hitch lines up nice with the pin.
