If I recall from my previous research the 3030 and 3250 is a 10" beam and the others are 12".

Each have their positives and negatives. Both use aluminum frame 16 on center . If you go on the Cardinal website it shows the different components used in construction R factors and floor plans. I don't think one is better then the other . I have seen just as many problems on either. Most are just the usual new trailer fixits.

"gel coat" is a unreinforced,colored polyester resin which can be either orthophalic or isophalic in compossition,the biggest difference being (after cost) its ability tostand up to UV light with out degradeing.

Hey turbo max, I'm sorry if I offended you. I was just making a joke. That's what emoticons are for I certainly was not trying to disparage your post or knowledge. I just had to look up a couple of words to figure out what you were talking about. Sorry man, don't leave because of me....

My Cardinal has rounded steps going to bedroom and two tone trim on the inside. I think the quality is about the same on both but that is just from reading up on both.

The Cardinal is 16 inch on center for the roof only, the sidewalls are not.
The Cardinals have laminated sidewalls while the Cedar Creeks use hung walls on 16 inch centers. It is still six of one, half dozen of another. If you can't decide between the two, buy from the dealer that will provide excellent top of the line service after the sale.

Cardinal
I have been a cardinal owner for over a year now. I am completely satisfied with our unit. All our warranty work has been attended without question and I would recommend Cardinals for you. The cardinal club has been wonderful and are very busy. Rallys in Bar Harbor Maine, Oregon, and Bransom coming up next year.
