anybody else have a MK 33??

[stevenrees]

My wife and I just bought a 2008 crossroads cruiser crossfire toy hauler. (mk 33). I am having a tough time getting my questions answered. This seems to be a special order coach, I cannot find ANY info on it at all.

The crossroads website does not even mention this model. I purchased a 2008 manual from the manufacture and it is pretty generic (covers all models of fifth wheel and trailers).

I am getting pretty discouraged.

Is there anybody else out there that owns this model toy hauler??

I would very much appreciate any help from anybody with experience with(Crossroads) toy haulers .

Thank You in advance

Have you called Crossroads and given them the VIN? They can tell you what equipment the unit contains as well as other information. I don't know if Randy Mishler at Crossroads can be of help to you but you might call him. I think his extension is 244.

Google crossroads 33mk lots of them for sale.

Crossroads didn't sell many toyhaulers and stopped making them. Sorry, but all RV manuals are an excercise in generic items covered in a vague manner.



What are the specific's you are looking for exactly? In essence, it's a Cruiser and there are tons of Cruiser owners on here so your questions will be applicable across many models.

Thank you for your response, I have many questions but I will limit myself to 4



#1---on the drivers side there are two water inlets--one is labeled city water so that is a no-brainer. What is the inlet directly below it for? It is just a hole like the water tank inlets on the opposite side, I looked behind the door and it is linked to the same water line as the city water. I have no idea what it is for!!!

#2 on the passenger side there are two inlets for the fresh water tanks, you just shove a water hose into them to fill the tanks, Which one should I use first, the upper or lower inlet??(primary & secondary)?, under the tanks are two drain fittings ( low point of system I guess). Which on drains what? If I open both of them will the whole system be drained?



#3--I keep reading about the hot water tank bypass valve, what is it for? I do not even know if I have one, where is it?

sorry, I fat fingered the wrong key and sent it too fast

#4 I think my battery is too small, ( it is dwarfed by the battery case). I am considering buying a bigger battery and connecting them together for more power and duration. What size do i need and is connecting two together a good idea?



thank you in advance for your help, please feel free to add any other advice--it will be greatly appreciated

I wouldn't buy a new battery and hook into the old one. The old one will drain the new one and eventually kill it.
If you are going to install two batteries, I suggest two 6v Trojans. Then you will have staying power.

[stevenrees]

I have a generator thatstarts off the battery, won't I need a 12v for that?

With two 6v in series you will have 12V and a lot of amps to keep your 12v stuff running...
