Shadow Cruiser Truck Campers - Any Info?
Hello All, I am just starting my search and have discovered a 1999 Shadow Cruiser 800w that is suppose to be in very good condition. It is minimally equipped with no A/C, has 3 burners but no oven, n...

Thought I'd better close the loop on this story.
We placed the previously mentioned 1999 Shadow Cruiser on the back burner (it's still not sold after about 2 months after first listing) and we went to see a Starcraft popup TC at a dealer's lot about 3 hours away. I called to make sure it was still available and his receptionist said "yes it is still listed".
Turns out the dealer's mechanic had bought it after having it sit there for about 7 months so it was not available despite still being listed for sale. Wasted trip but not too disappointed as we really didn't like the layout inside.
We asked if there were any other RV dealers on the way home that might have TC's. We were directed to one. Tried to get there but we got turned around and ended up at the FraserWayRv dealer in Cookstown Ontario. The General Manager showed us some new units (mostly Adventurer and Palomino) and some used units ... nothing that caught our eye or price point either way.
Then he remembered his Salesman just took in a trade on a well equipped 2007 Adventurer TC from an elderly customer who upgraded to a new model. It wasn't reconditioned yet but it sure looked like it was. The previous owner had lots of upgrades and even added his own ... he was obviously skilled on the tools as everything he did was professionally and tastefully done.
Short story - it was love at 3rd inspection (we saw it 3 times over the next 2 days) and we pick it up this Monday. Funny how things turn out. I'll be beefing our undercarriage up a little to ensure we have no troubles as it is heavier than a popup. That's where you'll find me searching over the next little while ... seeking advice on springs, air bags etc.
Thanks to all for your insights and advice.
