Cruiser Rv - Faded paint on cap
The finish on our 2015 Cruiser RV travel trailer (the tan/brown color) is totally faded to the point it looks really awful. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you fix it?
Contact with the manufacturer said since it was 3 years out of warranty they wouldn't do anything -- but I have been complaining about this for at least a year! Likewise our local dealer isn't willing to help get this taken care of. You would think that something that costs as much as these trailers would hold up better!
Is there a class action suit out there somewhere? The problem seems to only be with the front cap (for now anyway).
Reason of review: Damaged or defective.
Monetary Loss: $3599.
Preferred solution: Full refund.

Yep. Have a 2014 Fun Finder (made by Cruiser RV).
Brown painted front cap totally fading. I even keep it covered here in the Pacific Northwest (lots of gray cloudy days). Took cover off last week and the fading has increased and moved down the cap, even with it covered! I had called Cruiser RV last year about this, and they said "out of warranty, have a nice day" click....
This is caused by using inferior paint materials, and Cruiser RV is not the only manufacturer with this problem from what I have seen in other forums.
The only real solution seems to be to pay out of pocket to get it repainted and then have a clear coat protector put on it. Sucks pretty bad that all of these manufacturers are getting away with this, and that consumers are forced to pay another few grand on our 2 or 3 year old trailers to have them not look like ***
2015 radiance front cap faded bad Iโm going to try liquid wax and pray
We purchased a 2014 Cruiser RV Radiance , and have stored it indoors for 6 months of every year and we also have a fading front cap ( was a pretty brown, now it is severely oxidized ). We were also turned down by the manufacturer for this repair.
We have a 2013 Viewfinder Signature and our front cap is fading to (grey in colour) and we thought it was just ours as we have it out and facing primarily to west. We have tried waxing and polishing it and nothing seems to work.
It looks great once it done, then once its dry it looks horrible.
We will NEVER buy another RV from Cruiser RV.
We are now having electrical issues. So we are looking for information on how to fix that or if there is a recall or something.
Same with mine, color in front faded away, I had to buff it out to restore the color, plus outside kitchen fell apart, had to take it completely apart and reinstall it with extra support,had problems with lighting, air ducts for the heater, water lines leaking, cable wires lines,bunk beds where the screws that hold them were falling right off the wall but luckily I knew how to fix everything
I also have a 2015 Cruiser RV travel trailer and have had the same issue. I have washed it regularly and live in the Northwest (mild temps with rain and sun, but not extremely hot and very little freezing).
I first noticed the fading at the top edge after a year and a half. Now after two years it's migrated half way down the cap. At the lot where I store it, there is another Shadow Cruiser from the same year and it has the same problem. My assumption is that it is just cheap material and finish.
That would be par for the course with the entire trailer. It's not covered by my warranty, but I will be contacting Cruiser.
My 2014 did the same thing was 13 months old at the time they said it had to be no more than a year I told dealer I was going to raise *** if I had to pay dealer said might be able to slide it through I didnโt have to pay bad paint job from factory and other problems were wire shorting out on frame wire clips under flooring Refrigerator control bad dealer couldnโt fix cause donโt make parts for the refrigerator anymore I bought ex-coverage did do me any good had to buy used part install my self cause they wonโt do anything but new but can buy new so it got nothing out of them dealer or manufacture (RV industry needs some overseas competition so they will straighten up like the autos did) JUNK *** BOUGHT NEW SO WOULD NOT HAVE TO FIX STUFF I WORK ON NEW MORE THAN USED $25,000. Later.
Too little information to draw any kind of conclusion. Did you perform even minimal maintenance on the unit e.g.
wash or wax it 1 x a year?
What climate are you in? Etc, Etc.
Sorry, need more info to use this as anything other than a "it is in my opinion..." which you know are like :)
