Three steps going into the main quarters and two steps up into the nose bedroom. The Crossroads Cruiser is built with a low roof line, only 11'-6" to the top of the AC (highest point) The nose sits lower than many 5'rs. I am also looking at going with 16" wheels with truck tires to give me a couple of more inches. Biggest problem is that I am currently 2500 miles from the Cruiser. We left it back in Wisconsin when we moved to Washington State late last year so I do not have it to make direct comparisons to. Hate to spend all those retirement $$$ on a new truck only to find that I will have to make mods to truck and/or trailer before I can haul it to its new home!
