Greetings All

I have been trying to find the right rig for 3 years.

We have named our new home

JoJoe Palace

It is a 2009 Carriage Cameo 37KS3
Pulled by a 2008 Chevy 3500 Dually

Our first outting will be a 4 or 5 month trip to Zephyrhills, Florida as my wife has accepted a contract RN job at the Florida Hospital.

Stop by anytime to see us at the Rainbow RV Resort Park in Zephyrhills.

Sonny & Joanne Theobald

Sonny & Joanne,

I'm sure you have been welcomed to the forum. Let me add mine.

Nice looking rig. When we had our 5ers (owned three) the DW kept telling me to slow down and enjoy the scenery. Good advice.

Let us know about your travels and keep the pics coming.

Dave

Hmmm. That's the ticket. Get my wife a job in Florida. You've got it figured out!

I have been hinting to my wife too, that in a few years if she can get a job with medical.....I can retire... She's not buying that game plan.

I want that Cameo....actually we both like the 35SB3 in Cherry....Did you buy both used?

Jim,

We only bought the Cameo used.

The Chevy we bought brand new back in Feb 2008. At that time we didn't have a clue what we wanted. Because I am a Chevy man... I went out and bought the biggest baddest Chevy I could find and and afford. I figured we bought this then it would pull anything we wanted to buy.

Congrats on the new home. You are living our future plans. My wife is a nurse too and will start as a traveling nurse in 10 years. We just purchased our setup.

You made a good choice with a Cameo.
