We purchased a 2012 Shadow Cruiser 280 QBS. We loved, loved, loved the floor plan and still do, but we have had our issues. Within the year warranty, our water pump stopped working, the drawers don't stay closed, and we had the axle and tire issue. We also had the issue of that the breakers would pop on a regular basis. We purchased a voltage meter and were conscious of what we were asking the electrical system to do. Three months outside the warranty period, we find the electrical breaker box was fried. Burned wires throughout. The dealer had their electrician take a look. He found the neutral wire was lose and was convinced that it came that way from the factory. Cruiser would not do anything. Fortunately, we purchased an extended warranty. The issue has been repaired but we haven't taken the trailer out since the repair. We inquired about which brand of trailer did our dealer have that they don't see come back for repairs and which manufacturer stands behind their product. The told us Keystone. We upgraded from a popup. We were excited to have a hard side trailer, but have been disappointed at the constant issues.
If you can find a floor plan that is similar with another manufacturer, go with the other manufacturer.
