Cruiser RV Fun Finder reviews
I am looking for a RV and found a 2015 Fun Finder 266KIRB for a decent price. Does anyone know anything about these to see if it is a decent travel trailer?

jrgbambam, I have the same trailer (2015 266KIRB). I agree with LJAZ that the construction is average quality. The cabinets have fairly decent framing with thin wood sides. I was told the floor is 3/4 in. plywood (might be exterior grade but I'm not sure) by a manufacturer's representative at the Tampa RV Super Show. The vinyl floor covering is nice looking and appears to be fairly thick. The advantages we liked were the kitchen island, full queen size bed (80" instead of 74" long), separate bedroom with walking access around 3 sides of the bed, and a nice sized bathroom with a good sized vanity counter (unlike so many of the other trailers about this size which barely had room for a tooth brush by the sink).
Most of the components such as the frame, axles, tongue jack, slides, door, and awning are all Lippert. The axles are only 3500 lb. each which leaves you 600 lbs. short of the GVWR of 7600 lbs. Likewise, the wheels are 14" with 205/75/14 ST Load Range C tires of some unknown Chinese make.
The stove, furnace, and water heater are all Suburban. The stove appears to be a new design and looks nice and the cook top works very well )haven't tried the oven yet). Mine came with a gas and electric 6 gal. water heater but don't know if that's an option or standard. The furnace puts out plenty of heat but the ducting leaves something to be desired; it'll roast you out in the bathroom and freeze you to death in the bedroom. I am going to try to fix this but that means pulling down a lot of Coroplast. The fridge is an Attwood helium 6 cu. ft. This greatly reduces the risk of fire if the cooling unit tubing cracks because the helium is not flammable unlike hydrogen.
Although the GVWR is 7600 lbs., the as built weight on mine was a little over 5200 lbs. so there is a fair amount of cargo capacity. I still would not tow this with a 1/2 ton TV. I have a 3/4 ton and other than being a bit short on power (5.4L F250) it tows fine with my Blue Ox Sway Pro hitch.
Having said all of that, we like the trailer and find it quite comfortable. Is it like a New Horizons or something like that - no but it's still pretty nice. And at 29' 11" (WARNING, that is number from the glossy brochure) overall it fits into most campsites.
Sorry this got so long but I wanted to give you my honest opinion. I don't know how much research you have done on this model so I tried to cover everything.
