Well, after looking at 5ers at the Minneapolis RV Show for the last three years we finally bought one, a Cruiser CF325CK Patriot. Before we ever went to an RV show I wanted a <?: prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
ffice:smarttags" /><st1:State w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Montana</st1
lace></st1:State>. So we looked at those and liked them very much and we learned that <st1:State w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Montana</st1
lace></st1:State> was/is the #1 selling 5er in the country. Knowing <st1:State w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Montana</st1
lace></st1:State> was #1 made us think that was the right trailer for us. However, at the second RV show we attended we learned about the Bighorn and really liked that even more than the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Montana</st1
lace></st1:State>. Later at that same show we saw our first Crossroads product, a <st1
lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Kingston</st1:City></st1
lace>, and talked with a district rep. who told us about the construction of Crossroads products. As we walked away from that RV show we were confused; it sounded like the Crossroads was a better product than either the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Montana</st1
lace></st1:State> or the Bighorn. So I set out to learn everything I could about the differences and the pros and cons of those differences. After about 4 months of extensive research I was totally convinced that the Crossroads was a better product for a whole variety of reasons and they backed up their product better than most.

Next we looked at all the floor plans and talked and talked and talked while imagining ourselves living in the 5er. Ultimately we decided on the Cruiser CF32CKP. But Crossroads changed that model this year. We were kind of sad about that.
So this year when we went to the RV show we hoped to see a cruiser, but weren’t thinking of buying one. That is until we walked into a CF325CK. It was perfect for us in every single way. So we made a low-ball offer and they countered and we countered back and then the magic number arrived and HOLY COW suddenly we owned one.
Leaving that RV show I felt scared, but that fear and buyer’s remorse has passed and now we are just delighted. Now we are flooded with dreams of adventures yet to come with our Cruiser.
I know the turmoil you went through. We did the same thing, felt the same----did we do the right thing----I would say now, we did the right thing for "us" Hope your feelings are mutual. Again, congrats.
