## Overview

Sleeping 10 in a fully laminated, aluminum-framed shell, the 35CRIB is Cardinal's answer to extended-season group camping. The vacuum-bonded sidewalls, 5" arched roof rafters, and one-piece molded fiberglass front cap give it a notably solid, well-insulated build for a mid-tier premium fifth wheel, and rooftop solar prep comes standard. Stack on the optional Climate Package and you're looking at a 45,000 BTU triple A/C system, a 60K BTU tankless water heater, 12V tank heaters, and a heated enclosed underbelly that opens up three-season or shoulder-season use. The Expedition package adds conveniences like a 16 cu ft 12V refrigerator, 4-point auto-leveling, and a 21" two-in-one oven range, rounding out a rig that owners consistently describe as genuinely livable for long stretches.
