We travelled from Minnesota to Northern California to southern California to Nevada all in a time frame of 45 days. I searched every campground for Crusaders. The only one I ever saw was the one being towed by our truck. Currently in Laughlin, Nevada and I've driven through every RV park near us and no Crusaders here, either. I don't own the Crusader any longer as of tomorrow morning.

There are quite a few here in Louisiana. A while back we were at a local state park and there were 5 Crusaders set up.

Seen a few at the dealers where I purchased mine.
I've seen about 3 others in the passing.

Crusaders are relatively new are they not, 4 or 5 years.

Whiteyh1...we are staying at the Big Bend of the Colorado Regional Recreation Center on the Colorado River just a mile or two out of downtown. Great place, full hookups, trails, and between campsites one has 50 to 100 feet of open space. Sorry we missed ya but who knows? I may have passed you in the casino!

I have two dealers near me and they can't keep them in stock. There flying out the door like hotcakes. I found multiple units in the models we like and every time I went to go look at them they we gone. Checking the websites daily and there were constant sale pending bulletins on them. Finally ordered one myself but awaiting delivery.

Just returned from Fort Desota Park in St. Petersburg, FL. I usually see Crusaders in the State Parks in FL. With the weather so nice in Florida this winter, I think all the snow birds are heading south as of southeast USA. I will be taking my a Crusader back out after Christmas. Will be heading to Fort Wilderness at Disney World. I'm guessing, I just might find a few snow birds with Crusaders hanging out there.

Currently camping at Fort Wilderness at Disney World in Florida. My hunch was correct, today I spotted a Crusader checking in. Will try to locate them at the campsite and say hi from a fellow Crusader owner.

Im here

We love our 325res. Went to the Columbus RV show this weekend just to look around and I wouldn't trade my crusader for two of the others.
Going to the Hocking Hills winter hike this weekend. Camping with my brother.

We have a 2014 Crusader 330 MKS and love it. This is our first 5er and we could not have made a better choice. Moved from TT. We live in north Georgia area. We have not seen many Crusaders on the road either.

We bought our Crusader in Ontario and towed it back to northern bc. Saw one other crusader pass us and we waved to each other like little kids. Oddly enough there is an identical model in my neighbourhood.
