Shadow Cruiser Truck Campers
Has anyone ever owned on of these or have any knowledge of them? I have seen some of them for sale but they are older and want to know if they are a quality build.

- Idk when they quit making them and you don’t mention a year model but if it’s old and it’s still in one piece and not water damages then it’s about as quality as you going to find in any old camper.
If all the stuff works too then even better. - I agree with Grit dog. If it's in good shape it's worth what your interested in paying for it. I never had one and I don't recall a ton of info out there because of it's age, but here is some info I found.

There are many more links just to get an idea, Cheers!
Joe - According to JD Power's pricing guide Shadow Cruisers were made from 1989 to 1999. So the age of the camper can range from 23 to 34 years.
If the camper is still intact, solid, and working after that amount of time, the build quality had to have been pretty **** good, and the owner took pretty **** good care of it. - I had a 95 M-11, they are decent campers. I had to redo the roof on mine due to the previous owner letting it leak, but once I replaced that it was good to go. I grew tired of always hitting my head on the ceiling getting out of the bed and traded it in for a bigger/taller Lance.
- Thanks for all the advice.

What model are you looking at csh, I'm retired and have time to surf. Maybe some more info....- I owned one (used) in the late 90's, they are not different than any of the other campers out there, they all leak the same which causes rot.
But mine served its purpose, a place for me to sleep at Motorcycle races. - I had a 2005 Shadow Cruiser Popup and was very happy with it. Used it till 4 years ago when My wife was having trouble getting in the upper bunk because of bad knees so I switched to a class B. I never had any problems with leaks. I did do some mods to it to make it more like I wanted it.
