Anyone have any knowledge about Shadow Cruisers?

Hi ya'll... I'm hoping someone might be able to help me...

I am considering trading my 2005 28-foot (livable space) Keystone Cougar 5th wheel for my friend's 2010 Shadow Cruiser (looks like this https://images.app.goo.gl/xNqpDhxZ83NSTrXu9)(22 feet including the toungue). I like the small size of the Shadow Cruiser. ONLY PROBLEM IS: I can't find any reliable pricing information for the Shadow Cruiser, heck, it seems like these things are not very common at all!! I've looked all over Craigslist and a few other websites.

I have two concerns...:

1) It seems likes the Shadow Cruiser is an unpopular trailer, as opposed to my Keystone being a household name in the industry... am I crazy for considering this trade? Will finding people with parts/know-how-to-repair the Shadow Cruiser be extremely difficult?
2) I can easily sell my 5th wheel for $7-7.5K, I just want to make sure that I am making a fair trade with my friend, fair for both him and myself
  • The Shadow might be five years newer but it’s still ten years old and you know of any issues with the Keystone.

    Six months ago we drove all over Florida looking for one . I believe that year in good shape would be priced 7K to 8K . The one I was looking for had a slide . Never found one but we bought a winnie Mini 20 footer . I got tired of dragging 30 feet of trailer around and only using 20 feet . Smaller sure works for us , we are travelers not campers !


    What about the Shadow Cruiser made you drive all over to find one? This one I'm trading for also has a slide.
