We ordered a Georgie Boy Cruise Master in January of ‘96. We still have it Will be 23 years old in April. That was the first year GB offered slideouts. But only on the Swinger. We opted for the CM without the slide, we have never had any regrets. They also offered the newer motor but it was also it’s first year being offered. We stuck with the 454, probably should have gone with the vortex motor. But we have what we believe to be one of the most reliable units ever built for a great price. We love ours even without a slide. Other than the overheating on the 454 engine in all these years we’ve only had normal maintenance done. Tires, belts, airbags, brakes and fuel pump (which is in the gas tank ugh,). It has been to east coast, west coast north and south and Canada. Never a problem. We always planned on upgrading when we retired 20 years ago but nothing could compare with our baby.
