Feedback: 2014 KZ vs. 2016 Cruiser Radiance

[NorCal_TCR]

Looking for feedback as I have narrowed my purchase down to two models. Both very comparable floor plans. Looking for any feedback on these two makes and which one you would choose. Both same price. 2014 KZ Spree 322BHS Ultra Lite LX (great condition, buying from a buddy) or a New 2016 Cruiser Radiance 28QBSS from a dealer. Both 24K out the door. Any help is appreciated.

I have a 2011 261RKS and it is by far the worst purchase of my life.

We have a 2011 KZ. Bought it new and this will be our 6th year with it and it has held up well. We've had no trouble and I would recommend the brand

We have a 2011 KZ Spree LX Ultralight. It has been flawless since new. If I were buying a new camper I would not hesitate to get another KV.

Don't get the one with the frame that has I-beams that are 3 pieces of 1/8" steel welded together to look like a regular I-beam. They flex too much.

The Spree has a low CCC (1150 lbs) and the trailer's weight loaded up for camping will be close to the GVWR, and maybe over with one or more full tanks. Expect the actual tongue weight to be around 1100 lbs or a little more. Better have a TV that can handle the TW. I'd want load range D tires on it to get adequate reserve load capacity.
