What made you choose Primetime?

I am trying to decide between the Crusader 325 RES, Sabre 34REQS and the Jayco 33.5 RETS. All are pretty equal. I just saw the Primetime line at the last RV show in KC. Like the unit they had there, loved the furniture. Seems a lot of companies are using cheap, hard furniture. Primetime had Ashley and Lane. Fit and finish was nice. Just hard to decide on which unit. Would like input on people who have had Crusaders. Thanks

I just got my Crusader 325 on 12/29. I have had it out twice now and we absolutely love it. The fit and finish were fantastic. We have had no major issues.

We went with PTM for a few reasons. Their customer service record was top notch. During our research I had the oppoutunity to interact with their president, product manager and the regional salesrep. All answered my questions truthfully, even if the answer wasn't what they thought I wanted to hear.

I don't know much about the Jayco trailers. When I was looking I had looked at the Sabres and for us the Crusader was a better fit. With the Touring Edition the added extras really closed the deal for us.

If you have any questions about the 325 feel free to PM me anytime.

Good luck in your search!

Dan

Quality and Price. We could find the floor plan in just about every manufacture and make. The Primetime Avenger had several standard options and the build quality was obviously better over several other manufactures.

Price point was spot on and the DW loved the look of the inside compared to others that were more expensive.

the floor plan of the 318 bhs is what we where looking for. We traded in a crossroad 28fb and wanted the same quality if not better and felt that ptm fit the bill .

We compared 2 similar floor plans in the Crusader 335BHS & Keystone Cougar 330RBK, the Crusader showed much better in fit & finish although a little more $. We bought the Crusader.

Several factors, the biggest being the Crusader offered the most value for money. We bought at the RV show and ended up with a great deal. We found after looking at literally hundreds of units that we kept coming back to the Crusader. If we took into account the touring package upgrades we could find nothing else in the Crusader price bracket which compared.

We hope our optimistic view of the Crusader product carries through once we take delivery later this month.

The Crusader has the floorplan, weight, length and decor/options at a reasonable price. Also the company has a very good rep for after sales service. Hard to find all that in a mid line easy to tow coach.

I rencently purchased one of the smaller Tracer models. For me it seemed that the materials used were of high quaility than some of the competition. Also, they offered more features and options than others. Let us know what you decide on.

We chose our Tracer because of the quality and craftsmanship. Little things like slam latch doors, and an all in one hook up bay. All of this in a 30 ft trailer that's under 6000 lbs dry. Thanks Primetime!
