Look on http://www.crossroadsowners.com/forums/. You will find some that have good luck and some like me that have not. I believe they like many others have some quality control and design issues.
I have posts under NorskeNy.
The Cruiser line is being changed - recent posting:
Stopped at the local dealer today to check on the status of my warranty repairs and had an interesting conversation. He had just gotten in 4 new Cruisers and naturally my wife had to go and look...
In the Cruiser Line;
The Patriot/Provincial is no more,name change as the options are still available under a different name?
The construction is now laminated, not hung wall, different insulation
The floor and roof now have wood trusses, the gorilla cage is only 4 sided and welded
The shortest one is 33'
They have gone to the tan, brown, and black format, the slide out sides and top are black as is the underside of the front overhang??? Very little white on the trailer. Brown nosepiece. (just repeating, I didn't go look, raining)
Different tv antenna, didn't ask what?
He probably said more I forgot
He was very impressed with the build quality
No brochures or floor layouts, nothing but the trailers
From what he said the Crossroads line has an entire new team, the old group is gone, clean sweep. He said they are like the Crossroads team of old, a whole new (correct) outlook, quality first.
From the "For what it's worth dept"
Maybe go look Thur or Fri when I pick up my trailer. 10 items on my warranty list and done in 2 weeks. Pretty good.
**********************************************
So from this I would not purchase one that was made before 11/1/13. probably better to order one.
Also - you'll need a newer 3500HD to tow it.
