What's wrong with this?

I have OCD and something like that would drive me to the nuthouse!

I did measure the front area, from the camper back to the frame. It was off by the same amount as the back was. Based on that, I'm thinking the trailer was not hit or in a wreck. It either 'settled' on there wrong or it was built that way.

I thought about contacting Cruiser RV, but I thought why waste my time? They probably won't do anything about it anyway. I understand that there are going to be some poorly built products anytime you manufacture something of this detail, but this one was so obvious I couldn't believe it made it through all that it did to get to my house. I had it my driveway for a week and every time I went out my back door my eye was drawn to it.

I checked with our local Shadow Cruiser dealer and observed that all of the bumpers appeared to be squared to the camper. It also appeared, like the picture above, that the bumper was supposed to be away from the camper about an inch or so.

The dealer was New Generation RV in Wisconsin. The owner was the one who told me he was going to resell the camper. Buyers beware.

I did loose the transportation costs on this deal and as much as I thought that wasn't right, I am just glad to have moved on from this deal.

I might still contact Cruiser RV, I would feel bad if someone else got stuck with this heap.

That's why you need to send the picture. 1. You WILL get your trans costs back and 2.Any good manuf will make sure that unit is sent back and NOT sold to the next guy with a sawed off ibeam frame!

Oh, wow. That would drive me crazy to have to look at that on my trailer. Things that are noticeably out of square bug me to no end.

For what it's worth, here is a comparison, 2008 Funfinder (Shadow Cruiser) 230DS. After our last trip we noticed the spare, hanging on the back. We added a brace. This is our second rv from Cruiser Rv. Love the layout. For the price, it's pretty good.

For reference, you can see the proper spacing on the bumper.

x2. That's what I see.

Trailer was finished at 1645 on a Friday, Guaranteed.

Yikes!! I agree, buy local, easier to get things resolved. Sounds like a shady salesman to claim it is just cosmetic.

Was that front measurement off an equal amount but opposite the rear? Glad you didn't get stuck with it.

no LED lights
