I haven't had a new CR product, but have owned 2 new Forest River and a new Coachmen before FR bought them out, and this 07 Cruiser is by far the best quality of all of them. I hear that the Cruisers aren't as well constructed as they were a few years ago. One thing that I wish they hadn't done is gone to laminated construction. The hung walls, gorilla cage, and marine grade plywood flooring is what really set these units apart from their peers in my opinion. To see them moving away from that and doing what everybody else is doing is a shame. I am thinking of going back to a new fifth wheel after my storm damage is repaired, and the Cruiser would have been at the top of the list if they were still built like they once were. Since they are built like their competitors, I'll just look for service first, floor plan second, and price third. Oh, and no Schwintek slides!
