Re: 2013 Cardinal 3850RL question

The 3850 was very popular for many years, they did drop the floor plan this year, I ordered my 3850 and love the floor plan. The only problems that I had was the bedroom slide gear box failed, they had a few fail and upgraded to a heavy duty for the failed ones. Check out that the slides operate wel...

Re: Front Hydraulic Jacks too low?

I know FR will disagree and the frames should be able to take any road stress, however the hea...
