    I just sold the 2004 22ft BT Cruiser I had, and it served me quite well.

    The interior of the coach had high quality construction, including real wood cabinets, and lack of particle board.

    I liked the full size fridge, the kitchen with an oven, and the larger bathroom (ours had the rear bath).

    Like most Class Cs on the Ford chassis, it needed the alignment adjusted to 10% TOE, 10% CAMBER and 80% CASTER to get it to handle comfortably.

    With the proper alignment, it was a pleasure to drive, easy to handle, and had plenty of power.

    When not towing and driving at 65mph in Florida and Georgia, I averaged 10-12mpg. At higher speeds and in the mountains, the mpg dropped to a consistent 10.

    The only problem I had with mine was the need to replace the 10 Ford Coil Over spark plugs. Other than that, it was problem free.

    I wouldn't hesitate to get another BT Cruiser if it were in good condition and priced right.

  • We get 10-10.5 not towing. Pretty typical for all in their range. We are very happy with our's but it is the only RV we've owned and have nothing else to compare it to.
  • I owned a 2003, 21/22 footer with the V10 about 3 yrs. I took the 2 couches out and made 2 single beds. Took it on a 6k trip. Didn't need to tow. Averaged approx 10.3. Trip from Las Vegas - Orlando - Niagara Falls - Rapid City, SD, back to Nevada.
