Difference between Cruiser RV Shadow, MPG & Fun Finder?

Smaller Cruiser models are on my short list and I am not seeing much difference in the options listed, at least on the website.

Fun Finder has:
30lb LP tanks
Solid surface countertops
Battery disconnect
King bed (some models)

Otherwise identical. I've noticed too that Shadow Cruiser offers a murphy bed which FF doesn't on the same model. Shame, as I am leaning toward a murphy bed layout but would like the larger propane bottles and higher quality counter tops.

A pair of 30lb propane bottles are a whole $130, definitely not worth paying more for a trailer over. The countertop is a personal call, with the amount of time we spend in our trailer there's no way I would have wanted to pay for that kind of an upgrade, if I was fulltiming it would be a different story.

I have a 2011 Shadow Cruiser.

A used car dealer had a 2011 Fun Cruiser, I went over it and found only small differences.

(2) 30# Propane vs, 20#
Hitch was a cast jaw type vs, pressed steel
Dexter EZ-Flex suspension equalizer vs. Solid cast one.
And yes a couple more cabinet doors, same storage just more access.

Quality was the same, FF needed some seams reseal ed (roof/front cap)

Worth price difference for a new one, IMO not worth the increased $$$$

When I bought my Fun Finder in the spring of 2010 (it's 2011 model), the Fun Finder appeared to be above the Shadow Cruiser. I don't think the MPG had been introduced yet. I believe the difference in models is more in the detail than the overall quality. For example my Fun Finder has a front window and several more drawers than the Shadow Cruiser. So my advice is to study the details carefully and pick the one you like best.

Most likely which base accessories, which factory they're produced in, and which dealer networks they sell into. The manufacturers tend to reuse designs to minimize costs and then try to differentiate the units by real, percieved or other value or so that they can sell to several dealers in a market without digging the price too low through competition.
