For those of you that have or had owned a cruiser or another crossroads rv, how are they? I'm debating on buying a cruiser 5ver soon. Did you have any problems? How is the fit and finish? Does the insulation do a good job. Are there any options that i should get or don't need? This will be my first fifth wheel. I have a travel trailer, for two years now so i'm still new to the rv seen. Thanks for any and all information.

We bought a Cruiser 28RL for Christmas last year and took it for its first outing last week. The fit and finish are excellent. There were very few items on our "punch list" to be corrected when we took it back to the dealer. We are exceptionally please with our purchase.
However, if you plan extensive dry camping in National and State parks with no shore power and using the battery system and charger/controler we found that the WFCO-50 would not enter "boost" mode and charging from our Honda 2000 in a reasonable time was not acceptable. After extensive reading here on RV.net, we decided to replaceit with a PD 9260 next month.
For camping in RV Parks, the WFCO would be fine.
All in all, we highly recommend the Cruiser.
ps: check RVWholdsalers for great pricing and sales service. Dave Prosser was very helpful to us.

We have had our CF29CK since April 2005 and towed many thousand sof miles. No problem (so far) except very minor things that I fix myself - loose screws etc.
Check the Cruiser forum; www.crossroadsrv.com/forum for owners feelings and experiences.
This one is the best of 4 previous fivers we hav had since 1991!

We have the CF32BL upgraded from their travel trailer entry level the Zinger. We looked at several other lines, and came back to Crossroads because of their warranty and customer service. The fit and finish is real good, have had our since last Sept and have towed it 3000 Miles. We are out in it at least once a month some times twice a month, Longest stay was six nights. We did up grade the AC the insulation the Refrigerator, The Slide out awnings Hot water heater Oak front for the Refrigerator Alum wheels the hide a bed and the Euro Lounge chairs with Ottoman. I for got to order the Insulated windows but everything seems to be working out well. As some else suggest go into the webb site a check ALso got the Equa Flex suspension, would not do with out this

Great company that stand behind thier product. I have never needed to bring it back to the dealer, what minor issues I had were fixed by me. The fit and finish is as good as it could be. We have been real pleased.

I had an issue with mine, but the dealer and Crossroads have been great to work with. What sold me was the ability to reach someone at the factory and their willingness to speak with me on the technical questions I had. If you unsure call them yourself and or arrange a plant tour.
Also, check out http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum for more insight

This is our 2nd Crossroads product we have a 08 CF32BL since feb. We love it. Our 1st was a Sunset Trail TT and we were very satisfied but didn't have any closet space.Crossroads warranty and ease of getting things fixed are excellent.

I own a 2004 Crossroads cruiser. We ordered with all the upgrades we could get. Search my posts on this forum under cracked frame 2004 crossroads cruiser TT. You will see all the problems I had with this trailer, my dealer crossroads & Lippert the frame manufacturer. My wife loved the interior but mechanically its junk. If you buy one really check it over good for the first 2 years especially the frame for cracks above the spring shackle weld on points, & axle problems, alignment & abnormal tire wear & get it fixed right away. If it goes 1 day past the 2 years they won't fix anything even though you have had trouble with it from day one. I had the water tank fall out 2 times, had to repair the third time myself. Read my above posts of all the trouble I have had with my crossroads. After owning it & all the research I have done I will buy a Arctic Fox next time even though it cost more, what I've read from other owners they stand up well. Best of luck to you, Dan
