335SS Patriot - Page 2

vickark · 02-10-2011, 12:20 AM

My wife and I went to the Houston RV show yesterday. Looked mostly at the 335ss. Liked the looks and layout of it a lot. The one at the show was already sold so we're going to have to order if we want that model.After coming home from showI did notice an option of insulated windows for $1,387 extra. I guess these are double glass windows. Do any members have any feed back on these? The one we're looking at has the patriot pkg. and the polar pkg. Thanks

Maybe off task a bit but I think you will find RV Wholesalers' prices hard to beat on Cruisers. We bought ours there and a local Crossroads dealer agreed to do warranty service. If nothing else you can use www.rvwholesalers.com price as leverage at the local guy.

We didn't get the thermo windows, and we have been sorry for it ever since.

Get the thermo-pane's if you can fit it in the budget. As mentioned, order it the way you want it and compare at RVWholesalers.com, Wana RV, Terrytown/RV World. All those places are volume Cruiser dealers. Some offer delivery or pickup.

vickark, you have a PM.

fhenn · 02-10-2011, 05:16 AM

By all means get the thermo panes well worth the cost

We've been looking at the new Patriot Crusier line also and called RV wholesalers for a price. They were about $3,000 MORE than the best price I found. When I told them that they said send it to us in writing and we'll match that price....why would anybody ever do that unless you had a brother-in-law working at RVwholesalers or some other non-business commitment. I asked them about their service and they said they had a gazillion service centers all over the nation. I asked for two of the ones closest to me so I could contact them and confirm the service. After a long pause they said their computer was in vapor lock and would get back to me....good thing I didn't sit by the phone waiting. I know others have had a good experience with them but this has been my experience. I also question how much others have looked around because I found three dealers that beat wholesalers price...and they offer service.

When I was buying mine at last years Houston RV show, I called RVWholesalers for a price, they were $500 higher. When I told them what I was paying for mine, they then said they beat it by $50. I stuck with Toppers RV, my local dealer, GREAT dealer!

Bought a 2011 335SS Patriot Edition in December. Had problem with the kitchen slide sticking when being retracted. Dealer found the opening in the side of the trailer was not cut square and was binding the slide causing it to tip upward when being retracted. After the opening was trimmed the slide works fine. We have about 3,000 miles on the unit and have camped about 20 nights so far and are very satisfied with it. Would definitelyrecommend it to you.

Would you mind if I asked how much you ended up paying and where it was purchase?

Hunter11 · 02-10-2011, 09:26 AM

Marvin, why don't you bring that thing to the Texas Rally in March?

artgpo · 02-10-2011, 10:48 AM

The closest Cruiser dealer was up near Austin and had our model in stock. They wanted $37,000. When I priced ours out, fully optioned, from RVW they were $8,000 less. The "local" dealer came down to within $2,000 but I would never deal with them because of their sleazy tactics.

I take ours to a local Crossroads (not Cruisers) dealer for warranty service. There was never a question about doing the work.

BTW: that Cruiser we saw in July, 2009, it is still at that dealer!

Sirsea · 02-11-2011, 03:06 AM

New to this forum and didn't know about the rally.

Let me know when and where so we can check the calendar.

Already have reservations at Mill Creek for First Monday trade days last of March, first of April.

Hunter11 · 02-11-2011, 03:20 AM

Here is the link below but it looks like it won't work for you if you already have plans the last week of March. The first post I made has the info then most of the newer post are in the last few pages. We had to make a change from the first park we had planned it at to the one in Kerrville.

Just checked the calendar, we can do the rally on March 25 -27 and still be in Canton on March 30 so count us in. I will contact Buckhorn and make reservations for a site and breakfast on Saturday. Have a neighbor with a new Crossroads Cruiser and will let him know about it also.

Hunter11 · 02-11-2011, 04:39 AM

Great news Marvin!! Make sure you tell Buckhorn you are with the Crossroads rally group. Once you get you reservation email me at the address below so I can get a couple of things from you.

Well, we bought a pre- valentines day gift for each other. Saturday at the RV show we bought a cf335ss, Had to order it, but got it with the thermal glass, slide-out covers and

2 nd a/c for the bedroom. We got the sangria interior.

We're supposed to find out this week when the build date might be.

Hope everything works out for it.

gball · 02-15-2011, 04:03 AM

vickark:

Congratulations on getting the new cf334ss. If it arrives in time try to head up to Kerrville and join the group at the Texas Rally being held at Buckhorn Lake Resort March 25-27.

vickark · 02-15-2011, 07:09 AM

Sounds like a good "shake down" cruise to me. Hope it make it in time for that. Thanks
