We were unlucky enough to purchase a 2013 Fun Finder 214 (Cruiser RV) just after an internal split between the family owners. As I understand it, one brother left to form his own company and took most of the really skilled workers with him. Ours was apparently built by drunk chimpanzees. Our first outing was to winter down in Florida. After 100 miles of towing south from Atlanta we stopped for lunch and found the glass shower doors on the floor in the bathroom. Then as we set up in Florida we found water running down the inside wall of the dinette the first time it rained. The slide out roof hadn't been sealed properly. Then one night I got up to use the lavatory and stepped in a 5 inch deep puddle ... this time it was the bedroom window seal that wasn't installed correctly. Then another day (when it wasn't raining) we came back to the camper to find the cabin flooded again. This time it was the plumbing at the water pump. Then this scenario repeated itself a week later only this time it was the plumbing for the water heater. So, to summarize ... the cabin flooded 5 times in the first 3 weeks of ownership. In making the necessary repairs, I had to pull off paneling to get to the plumbing and what I saw hidden behind the walls made me amazed at the poor attention to detail. Wiring was hanging in a large ball with dozens of twisty caps. Nothing was routed with any logic or secured in any way. None of the water pipes were cut to the correct length so that all the unions with tees had the pipes coming into and out of them at radical angles. No amount of tightening the connectors was going to last long as these were destined to vibrate loose for the life of the trailer. Sold it at a loss ($6000) after 9 months of ownership. So I might assume that there are varying degrees of assembly and quality control depending on year models.
UPDATE: for the record, I assumed this was a pull behind trailer reference ... I did not know Cruiser RV had made truck campers !
