Hello from KC. First forest river.
Hey everyone. Wife and I traded in our 2010 Keystone Cougar 322qbs on July 1st and purchased a Crusader 360BHS. His is our 4th camper and third fiver.

We picked the 360 up in St. Louis on our way to Michigan and we just returned home this weekend ( 1800 miles). Nothing like breaking in the camper hard!


Just wanted to say hi

Ha problems. I have yet to buy a camper that didn't have an issue out of the gate.

Pulled into campground and had zero water pressure at the shower. Ended up taking the assembly apart and found the hoses totally kinked. Great job dealer on the PDI. Dealers famous words of " you are a veteran, no need to show you how e shower works". Haha.

I have learned to carry a " fixit kit". lol.

Welcome from the other side of the state. Who did you buy your Crusader from in STL?

BT camper sales in Wentzville. The sales process was very nice and they made it very easy to trade, but the PDI wasn't done correct.

Hot water heater breaker was shut off in the panel, shower hoses were kinked, and one of the LED lights in bunkhouse was hanging there by a wire when we did the walk through.

But I have come to expect surprises when it comes to campers. This is our fourth new one and each one had one.

Welcome from Shawnee Ks. Picked up my new Rockwood Minilite in Ohio exactly a month ago and camped our way home. Went to Pomona lake last week end. Have had zero problems so far! Enjoy

Hello from Alabama
Congratulations on you new camper. We just purchased an Aviator Wright Flyer and will be breaking our camper in hard as well. Driving to Oregon August 15th to pick it up and do our PDI. Driving from Oregon to Texas then home to Alabama.
