Wayne-We bought new a 2007 cruiser with the rear living room and two slide. We noticed shortly after our first trip, the rear bottom trim piece was not chaulked or secured well and water rolling off the roof had rolled right into the trim piece and soaked right up the wood laminate and to a point the insulation was getting a little damp.We thought we had fixed it well with chaulk,better screws,woodharder, and better ladder screws, etc. Just this week my husband noticed some of the chaulk at the bottom was bubbled some. He opened it up and about 6 cups of water came out! He checked the rear windows, lights, etc and no loose or missing chaulk. NOthing there so he took off the side and bottom trim pieces where he discovered dampness at the sides or water coming out when he took off the bottom trim piece. Luckily no water has gotten high enough to effect the interior walls. With the side trim loose,he sees that water is getting into the outside bottom area wall while we are driving in the rain. With the wind driving the water towards the back, it is forcing itself through any tiny opening back there. Where the side bottom sheet metal that is curved, it is going right into that area where all the trim pieces are coming together. We had some sand where we had chaulked that cup looking plastic trim piece that goes over the side and bottom pieces.FRom going to the beach! My husband has some pictures if you would like to see. e-mail us at coolnorthernair@msn.com
We think we caught this before any real damage has occurred. dated 10-28-09

I purchased a used 2007 cruiser 5th wheel 32 ft with two slides in 2008. I have used it for 6 weeks out of the last two years. Problem: I have a water leak at the lower part of the back wall and where the floor connects.I have checked everything from hoses to fittings including removing the fresh water tank and cannot find the source. I am now suspecting the back window as the black seal around the window is shrinking at the corner of the window,it is the seal just above the window that opens. There seems to be a small hole in the metal part of the window on the inside where the seal has shrunk. I think rain and mositure gets into and maybe runs down the wall and underneath the floor. I noticed the water between the corner bead along the back wall and the bottom of the trailer at the back. The inside of the trailer is completely dry and does not show any signs of water or mositure problems.
Question: I am wondering if anyone else who owns a cruiser had any problems with there windows seals shrinking away from the corners. Because the lower part of the window is square the seal is cut at the corner and then a new strip is started to the complete the seal which during hot temperatures causes the seal to shrink. I need help to solve this problem, comments please. Outside of this problem we are very happy with the trailer.
Thanks

Like Crossroads. We have a Crossroads Cruiser 28 CB travel trailer and are very happy with it. After looking at many other brands, this was the one with the value and the craftmanship was great. No problems with it at all.

We bought a 2005 Cruiser and had no problems with it. Some drawers and one of the cargo door latches needed correction and this was fixed. The new cruiser looks good and very similar to ours except the kids bunks. A good product.

We like Crossroads very much, they're very well priced and the quality is better than most. We wouldn't want the bunk beds option but it's very good for families. This is a good company with a good product.

We have a 04 Cruiser 27RL 5th wheel and we love it. Great value for money and good quality, there's nothing to not like. The 2007 arrangement looks great for families with the bunk beds and I like the tub. These people are doing things right and that's why they've had explosive growth.

2005 Crossroads Cruiser CF29CK 5th Wheel. Been traveling since new in May 05. Had a major water tank failure however the factory stepped up and took care of it. Great customer service. Triple slides and U shaped kitchen are excellent features. Fit and Finish are very well done. Not much to dislike. 2 year warranty and from our experience they back it up. Bought the unit from Martin's RV in PA. Grat people wonderful service and no BS. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5.
