Both have similar floor plans. The Cruiser is aluminum framed and $3500 more than the Zinger. The Zinger is wood framed but has a nicer interior in my opinion. Although I prefer the tv placement in the Cruiser.
PS I live in California and there are no Cuisers local for me to look at. Although I like the all aluminum framing in the Cuiser I'm currently leaning towards the Zinger. What are your guys thoughts on the two? Money not that big of a deal since I'll getting a loan so it's only a difference of twenty or thirty bucks a month. Thanks!
Both are good campers but I would go with the aluminum frame every time. Also consider that you will have woodvs aluminum roof trusses. I went with the Cruiser 4 years ago because of its structure. You will also get a better warranty with the Cruiser.
i own and love my zinger. that being said if money was'nt a issue i would upgrade to a cruiser. the aluminum framing and other options are worth it. good luck.
It's kinda like comparing a Ford to a Mercury or a Chevy to a Buick. With the Cruiser it will be everything that has been brought up so far, plus. Are both units your comparing gel glass sides? The ease of cleaning and less prone to dents was a huge thing for me, especially with kids and their bikes.
Thanks guys for your thoughts! I agree the aluminum framing is superior. But I do like that cherry wood interior on the Zinger. And I would add fiberglass siding as an option on the Zinger. Under further consideration, cost is going to be a consideration as well (rates aren't quite as low as I thought). Hmmm... decisions - decisions?
Side note: the Zinger has a one inch interior height advantage on the Cruiser at 77 and half inches.
