Hey NJ neighbor...
They look like typical large large travel trailers.. Id go with the cruiser as its got a lighter tongue and 600 lbs more capacity...( put more stuff in it.
With bother your looking at over 1000 lbs tongu weight when loaded...
1. Get a good WD hitch with the right weight bars... 1200 lbs maybe 1400lbs.
2. I hope you have a 3/4 or 1 ton truck... With that camper I am sure you have people coming with you .. Its all about the payload...
3. I dont think cruiser is owned by Forrest river or thor so I cant be sure... This would be a good thing...
4, Cruiser has the better tub... not that angles junk...
Thats a lot of trailer man!!! This is going to be your first one????
You want something a bit nicer IMO look at the apex 289TBSS is you have a coachmen dealer near you..
These are lighter and I prefer the decour better... But thats me.. But 1800 lbs carrying only.. But only a 7500 lb trailer... Can whip it around better IMO and less white knuckles..

II like a full wall seperating the master too... I dislike that split desighn TV thing...
If you got $$$$ look at the grand designs...
But very heavy...
