Two years with my CF30SK and never a problem. I did find out not to use the grease fittings on the hubs, but everything else works fine, even the shocks.
I have an '04 Cruiser that has seen many miles, some pretty rough. My last major trip was 3 months and 10k miles. I have had several problems, one requiring Crossroads assistance in '04 and one requiring Lippert assistance in '06. Each issue needed just a single phone call to initiate and the support was very good. I would definately buy another CR product, but this one may last a long time.

Just bought a new carryover 07 32BL, still on the dealer's lot. Can hardly wait to get it home and ready for camping, just need to get rid of the snow!
We are on our second Cruiser....first a TT and now a 5'er....we have loved both campers and had no problems with either.....we shopped just about every brand in this class and when we found the Cruiser, we knew that was the one !

'07 CROSSROADS CRUISER 29RK
SO MANY PLACES, SO LITTLE TIME
We have a CF29RK and love it.
As before, order as many upgrades as you can afford.
We had a few minor issues and Crossroads took care of them.
In the forum, one owner living in New England had major problems....Crossroads company towed the unit to their factory, at their expense, repaired the problem and towed it back.
Just one instance of "taking care of the customer".

We've had our CF29CK since July of 2005. Gone out an average of once a month. Mostly local camping. Love the unit.No major problems, just a couple of minor ones. If you do a search on this site or go to the crossroads forum, you will find out that , yes, there is the occasional lemon. While that can't be helped, remember that the most important thing is that the company stands behind the product and will make it right.That comes thru loud and clear over and over again. Not so with a lot of their worthy competitors.

2005 Crossroads Cruiser CF29CK (with all the goodies)
My brother got one last year and was happy with it.The only problem he has had is the slide out seal leaks and they are fixing it right now.He also says he wouldn't buy another one but maybe that is just him and this is his 3rd or 4th 5th wheel.
We haven't gone on any major trips yet but this will be our 4th year using it and we absolutely love it. We had narrowed our search to 2: the Cruiser and another well-known brand in the same class (no names as to avoid arguments). The Cruiser won hands-down for us. As with ANY rv you get, there will sometimes be issues. We were lucky; no issues/no problems. And as others have said, customer support from Crossroads is fantastic! Also, you're spending big $$ on an rv - so spend the extra $$ (with whichever rv you choose) and go with the upgrades i.e. insulation, larger a/c, larger fridge, etc. Then you won't have any regrets down the road. Good Luck!
Thanks for all the great information. I went to a crossroads dealer and looked at a 25rl and a 27rl both are2008. For the 25 they wanted $23,500 and for the 27 they wanted $26,500. Its about $5000 off of MSRP. I'm thinking its a good deal. Thanks all.
I guess I'm the only crossroads cruiser owner that has had major problems & the dealer & crossroads were so hard to get anything done. Let me see it was a 2004, The first problem was the first trip the A/C froze up & wouldn't cool, we were in Arizona & really needed it. My dealer said its getting cool in Alb., NM now we can't test until next summer make appointment then, I had to repair myself & I did. Both axles spindles were welded on wrong from the axle factory, I wore out 5 tires the first year, crossroads says they shipped 5 but dealer said they shipped only 4, I got only 4, I guess the dealer kept 1 of my tires. Crossroads refused to replace the axles so they had dealer take to a frame shop to align, they heated the axles to bend & burnt off the brake wires so I had no brakes. I got dealer to fix that, ruined 4 more tires because still way out of alignment finally crossroads sent 2 new axles & 4 new tires, this took all my first summer of ownership. Then I noticed water tank was falling through belly material. I drained water & called dealer, they said bring it in, another 300 miles round trip, all they did was rebend the 2 galvanized straps (no bolts or clamps were installed) & patched the belly material & said come pick up, another 300 miles. I put away for the winter. Next spring I was going down highway & the water tank fell out & hit the highway. This ruined the belly, water tank, electrical wiring, plumbing & our summer vacation. We spent the next 3 days camping out at my dealers lot as they took no responsibility for their bad repair & blamed on crossroads. Crossroads did send a new water tank & belly materials, I guess the dealer had the plumbing & electrical stuff in stock. We got that repaired finally & proceeded to another state now 3 days of our weeks summer vacation gone. We stopped for lunch & I tried to pump some water it would not pump any water. The dealer did not secure water tank so it would not move & the sloshing water moved the water tank & pinched off the water lines. I had to have that repaired again & new water pump this time by same dealer after we returned from our trip. We had to use water hose hookup to use water in trailer as pump could not pick up any water in full tank. Then on another overnight trip I stopped for the night & no lights in part of camper, checked the fuses 1 blown, replaced kept blowing. I returned to same dealer crossroads run the electrical wiring under the trailer with torch blown holes in frame with no grommets to guard against wires rubbing through the insulation, so they repaired that. The next time I drove in the rain the tail lights blew out because the lights leaked water & burnt out bulbs. I replaced the tail lights with LED water proof ones myself. I was under the trailer checking the water tank as it was pushing on the bottom belly material again & starting to fall out again so I called the dealer again they said I would have to pay for it this time as my 2 year warranty has run out. While I was under their I also found the frame was cracked in 4 places above the axle spring shackles, again I told the dealer about that they called crossroads. Crossroads said they did not built the frame that was bought from Lippert, so I called Lippert they said they were not responsible as they built to crossroads specifications, but the guy from lippert told me how he would fix it if it was him. So I had to repair the frame & water tank, plumbing system, belly & again water pump again all out of my pocket. I don't know why I'm the only person that bought a crossroads that has had any problems. My dealer & Crossroads & Lipperd did nothing after the 2 years were up to help fix my lemon I bought from them. So I got it all fixed all my expense even though I had all the same problems during the warranty period. I will tell someone what I went through if they ask & that's what I'm doing. Its all true, I have all the repair receipts & pictures. Oh ya by the way its now 4 years old & the filon siding the fiberglass is starting to come out & the paint has faded so bad it has cracked, I brought that up to crossroads again they said they didn't make the filon or stripes. So Buyers beware! If you live close to one of those wonderful dealers I have been reading about that will bend over backwards for you & you don't mind it being in the shop all summer getting repaired instead of using it for camping then I would say go ahead. I have spent thousands of dollars just driving back & forth over 300 miles round trip for repairs, I have forgot how many times, then another 300 miles to go back & pickup weeks latter when crossroads got around to authorizing the in warranty repairs & dealer got around to fitting me in their schedule. They never asked to take it back to the factory to repair right, I even asked they to by it back from me or give me a replacement with same upgrades & Crossroads refused. I posted most of all this before as it was happening on this forum, its here if you look up under 2004 crossroads cruiser cracked frame. I was told by other members to sue them but I'm a Christian & I know what the Bible says about taking people to court, its better to be cheated and I feel I have been. So my special ordered with all upgrades we could get 2004 crossroads cruiser is sitting in the back yard rotting away. The next time I dare use it who know what problems I will have with it. Anyone want to by a 1 owner low mileage travel trailer? Its only 4 years old make you a great deal. I didn't think so. Anyway I thought you need to know that 1 trailer they built was a lemon. Maybe all the rest are great, I hope so for all you other owners. Anyway I told my story again good luck & God bless. Dan
