Looky what followed me home!

Been back and forth for four years now, and finally decided it was time.

Crossroads Cruiser 31RE. Patriot Edition. Loaded to the gills. Its even got Corian counter tops. Triple slide. Polar insulation package. Too much stuff other stuff. I love it.

It was a 2010 left over. Got it for 36328.00 out the door, TT&L included.

Very nice and looks good with the truck! Regarding clearance between 5th and truck bed, is there enough or do you plan on adjusting hitch or trailer? Just a question as I'm trying to decide if I should "flip" the axles on mine.

Congrats. So where is your first trip going to take you?

That spare wheel hanging down under the rig would be torn off for where I have taken mine.

You make me want to vomit on my shoes then run a marathon. Then put them on my face.


Really, looks good. Why didn't you call me, I told you this is the RV capitol of the world! Be careful going through depressions, that 6 inches will turn into 2 in a heartbeat.

Very nice Blake. About 20 grand more and you will have it outfitted the way you want it (take a trip to Camping World, you will know what I mean or look through one of those thick accessory catalogs that all the RV dealers have).

I know, I know. I had been looking online for quite a while. The place I bought it is well known for its stellar service department, so that was a huge bonus. I ended up needing it a lot sooner than I expected cause of going from one job to the other. My perdiem is paying this bad boy, so we are making double (sometimes triple) notes.

I know exactly what you mean. Dealer gave me one of those books. That can get dangerous quick!

Dude, this is one of the few times I was actually being financially responsible and not just buying on a whim....


For the last few years (when not offshore) it has cost me between 1300 to 1600 dollars a month to live in a motel room. This will finally let me have something that is mine, instead of giving the money to the motel owner. Plus its a lot more comfy when the family comes visit, and I dont have to pack everything out of a motel room when the job is over with.


I HATE PACKING!

Yeah, but you can afford the payments on the new one. The grass is always greener!

A BOMB that I suggest for you...
Mor Ryde independent suspension with 4 wheel disk brakes all around.

Awesome rig.

I am looking at that size and may go with rear bunk floorplan.
