Welcome to the family!

I am not going to be the one to tell you you should have bought a FORD, nope not me... not going to do it... at least it's not a DODGE!

Welcome you'll love it here!

A big welcome indeed. I also lurked on the forums prior to ordering our new trailer. Lots of useful information on "unpublished" options and other mods that make the trailers more enjoyable. If you don't have your trailer yet, they do have cabins at the campground that could be rented. The factory tour is well worth the trip...and the FOOD...well it speaks for itself. Denny, the organizer for the event would most likely be your neighbor...now whether that is good or bad, I will let the others chime in[img]file:///C:/Users/gossamar/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/img] [img]file:///C:/Users/gossamar/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg[/img]

Welcome to the forum, lots of great info on here.

buddhabob1 · 01-22-2009, 01:28 PM

We live in Van Wert Oh.and are planning on doing business with eitherDave arbogast in ohio, or smith trailer sales,monroeIN. or barton lake rvs up by freemont IN There are several dealers fairley close Arbogast hasthe one we like in stock. We arent quite ready yet we have about 6 months left on the wifes car unless we get a good tax check!!!

Are there any dealers we should stay away from??? We have visited all 3 and they all seemed very knowledgable and not too pushy.I am also enjoying the articles on the mods and past problems and Crossroads seems to be making a decent enough product for the right price that they will be around for a while.

dsaalease · 01-22-2009, 01:43 PM

We lived in Mt. Blanchard OH before moving to Oklahoma in '06. BTW, how's the weather up there?? I didn't know Arbogast was selling CrossRoads, I've not heard anything bad about them, I've never heard of Smith trailer sales. I have heard of people having trouble with Barton Lake. We bought both of our Cruisers from Jim's Trailer Sales in Grafton. I would highly recommend them, but thats a long drive from Van Wert. By the way, we'll plan on seeing you in August at the rally - welcome to the forum.
