Thanks for the feedback on Travel supreme. I guess I will wait to see if they re open or get different financing. Does anyone have experience with Seville by Crossroads?
I saw one in the March 2008 issue of RVXtreme...the fireplace looks awesome and I really like the layout (VF35CK), but I have never seen one in person! Have you looked at a Prairie Schooner? Now that's a nice fiver!

We saw one at a RV show and liked it. Not sure it compares to the Travel Supreme though. I will say the one we looked at was not priced as high as the Travel Supreme either. We are owners of a Crossraods Crossterrain so I can speak to the quality of the line though. Suggest you go to the Crossroads website and ck out the forum there. Lots of good info the manufacture.
Saw one at the dealer, Look nice and well put together. We have the Crossroads Cruise, and enjoy it very much. Have only had it since Oct but have put around 3000 Miles on it. I liked the Warranty and the construction
We examined one at the Denver RV show last month, and my wife fell in love with it. She particularly liked the stone-look fireplace, but basically liked everything. The floorplan fits what we want, and the huge refrigerator and 42" plasma TV are big selling points. The price was good too, and a phone call found a dealer (Barton Lake RV Sales in northern Indiana) willing to sell one even cheaper. The warranty also looks as good as any you'll find.
I'm not totally sold on it just yet, but it's pretty high on our list. I don't think it compares to a Travel Supreme or other top 5ers on the market, but the price is right down there with Jayco Designers and such, so if it fits your budget, I think it's well worth a closer look.
I don't care for the Seville, but the comment that really caught my ear was made by a full time couple at the Hershey show.
"No storage" she chirps looking around.
I then compared the Seville to the Kingston both about the same size and similar layouts and she was right the cheaper unit had more storage. The Seville is really more of an apartment type feel and in makeing it less of a camper they didn't put in storage every place they could of.

We just picked up our 08 Seville and spent 5 days in it (shake down). This is our retirement home :-). We love everything about it, the stone looking fireplace was a selling point for us. IT was 30-40 degrees all 5 days, the electric heater with the cieling fan on kept the temperature up so the furnance didn't kick on much. We were very comfortable.
The kitchen was a big selling point for my wife...the 17cu double fridge is great, lots of counter space and storage.
The windows are reflective so you can't see in during the day and it has the pull down cloth day and night shades...great feature.
It was very solid...did not feel any movement front to back or side to side while inside moving around.
Towed it about 50 miles towed great. Weighed it and the book says 11,600 dry it is actually about 12,500 and the hitch pin is actually about 2700.
We are very happy with our choice, it fit our taste and needs, if if fits yours I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we are..good luck
