No More Patriots??

[pulpwood007]

I called RV Wholesalers this week to get a price and was told Crossroads had produced the last of the Patriot Editions. Am I being told correct information?

If so, that's a bummer. Wish they would have continued to have offered some of the options at additional costs. The 16" wheels are a strongly needed option to put them on par with other trailers in this price range.

They made quite a few and are available online, I did a quick search and it brought up several.



Since Crossroads changes features/options often it is best to call directly to the regional representitive for the Cruiser line. At the time I ordered mine there were a handful of "un-published" options, like dual pane thermo windows, ceiling fans, etc.....



Good luck!

Boy that would be a real shame!!!! If that is true we would like to find out exactly how many Patriots were made of each floor plans for future reference.

when we were looking at them we were told that only a limited number were being made.

That's right, their a LIMITED edition, something like the Montana 25th Anniversary Edition. Only a limited amount of rigs being made, then they're no-more!

Thats too bad!!

Since CrossRoads is a company that is dedicated to improving their product lines, I think you'll see some of the Patriot features as options in the Cruiser line soon. I think the Patriot edition is a "test mule". After they get responses from Patriot owners about the positives and negatives, CrossRoads will decide which features warrant offering them as options.

We are going to bring back the Patriot/Provincial option within the next couple weeks. These options were a very good success and we are getting emails &amp; inquiries daily for customers looking for them. Unfortunately we will not be giving the package away but will offer this for a reduced rate compared to normal option prices.



Thanks again,

This is great news

Glad to see they will offer it as a package. I see in recent photo's online that the 2009 cap's now have a reflective panel to act asa rear hitch view. I know it's kinda a gimmick but it is on other in the mid-profile's they sell against. I see they dumped the junk Pummel Drive they put in my 2009 for a Jensen unit. At my factory visit they stated they would remove the Pummel Drive and replace it with the Jensen unit (thank God).

I hate that we missed out on the Patriot Edition. I like all of the options:



50 AMP Service w/bedroom A/C Prep

Mobile Comfort Pillow Top Mattress

Roto Flex Pin Box

Power Leveling Jacks - Rear

Polar Tech Upgrade Insulation

Additional Graphics

Corian Counter Tops in Kitchen Area

Stainless Steel Sink

Sink covers



16" Tires on Aluminum Rims





Oh well, maybe in our next Cruiser!

[mwebber78]

There are a few thing's I would have liked on that list -



Rotoflex pinbox

Corian surfaces

16" wheels



The 50amp, IMHO - isn't needed unless you actually intend to use a 2nd AC (I don't), the mattress was in the trash before I took delivery, I put in my King Koil queen pillow top mattress. I ordered mine with the insulation upgrade so luckily I didn't miss out on that!



Nice package.

Caswell's in Ionia, Michigan has one cf30sk Patriot Edition left. A customer ordered it and then decided that he couldn't afford to retire, and wasn't going to buy an RV until he could afford to reitre.
