We purchased from our hard earned savings of 2-3 years a new 2010 model 185FBR shadow cruiser rv
by cruiser rv in Indiana on Aug 8 2009 as I am a disabled Vietnam vet and this seemed
like a good idea to get around in before my wounds caught up with me as we get older!

We poured over every manual in detail for correct operation as this was our first RV of this
size. (small)

There address is, BTW = 7805 North SR 9 » P.O. Box 130 Howe, Indiana 46746 866.277.5630

On Aug 14 the water tank fell out after we properly filled it and almost killed us if we had not stopped to eat.

On Aug 15 the hitch bolts worked there way loose!! Again we were lucky not to have a\major accident on the highway,

Too much luck we are using up from a supposedly reliable and honorable company.

The entire construction methodology was extremely shoddy! Workmanship was clearly shoddy to non-existant with indiference rampent throughout this unit.

On Aug 18 the heater stopped working. 2 weeks later we learned if you gently tapped it the heater would come on but would not work like a normal furnace and cycle to keep a constant temperature in the RV.

Next the water pump became intermittent

Few days later we smelled propane as the hose came loose from the feed line. Then we noticed the propane feed pipe was installed at a very skewed angle putting pressure on all the connections.

Not to be outdone, the litenany continued with the awning motor breaking the first time we used it, again according to the user manual letting it out slowly and without over-reaching with the motor.

We asked the manufacturer to simply exchange the unit for us...They have refused.
Although all the items are under warranty there are way too many problems to even consider keeping this RV.

These people at Cruiser RV, namely Tom Peck, refused to acknowledge any of my requests or even answer half of my phone calls nor any of my emails requesting they do the honorable thing and exchange units.

They expect a 3/16 angle iron to hold over 30 gals of water (about 250 lbs)...ludicrous...eventually the metal gave away and eventually was only a week for us.

It may be a total understatement to say this rv and its brethern are rolling pieces of junk and disasters on the market. Buy one if you dare.

More later...as additional items went south...
