Been a busy two weeks since I took delivery of my Carbon 357 getting it road and camping ready. In that time I have added vent covers, JT Strong Arms and a Goose Box to the Carbon (plus moved all the camping gear in) and Ride-Rites, a new Remov-a-Ball Hitch assy and a bed 7-Pin connector to the F350. First hook up tonight and took the combo for a 20 mile spin around near-by country roads. Very happy with the way everything handles and the levelness of the trailer. I have just a 1" difference from front to back and a good 7" of bed rail clearance. Heading 110 miles North to VA early Friday morning to Lake Gaston...can't wait to camp in this thing! :D

Next project I will be adding a 11' awning over the garage side door to match the 15' one in the front.

Congratulations, we got our 357 in April and absolutely love it. Only issue we had on our first trip was..... I found out the hard way our tank drain valves were miss labeled from the factory so you may want to double check those.

Weekend was a success. Only two minor problems to report....the shower needed a bead of silicone around the outside of the door track and the black/grey label tank guy has struck again. Loved loved the camper...towed great, setup was a breeze and we were very comfortable in it!!

Ha, I'm glad we weren't the only ones with the labels wrong.

Same here on my 357. We took it the first time over the holiday and I tested the tank handles and the rear ones were backwards. Grey=black, black=grey.

One thing I'm going to change is the master mattress. I've got 2 eggcrates on it and it still sucks.

Everything else was awesome!

We still had our memory foam topper from the old TT, you can get a pretty nice 3-4" one on Amazon or Overstock for about $125-150. Makes a huge difference.
