BT Cruiser has alway been a quality RV
There are always some lemons out there, even Newells and Marathons.
I wouldn’t hesitate if I wanted to buy one.
Not sure if they have factory service, but if they do, you can always go there to get it serviced.

I go to Winnebago once a yr, worth the trip for regular service and any repair.
After 22 yrs I gave up on Rv dealer repairs and service

There is no BT cruiser RV dealers near me so would like to hear from other owners how has this RV held up over the years and would like to hear from new owners, likes, and dislikes..

Are they worth the money for a new one..

I just bought aBT Cruiser. It's 2019 on a 2018 chassis. I would not buy it again,I think it was a repo. But that being said check everything before buying. Mine had 9400 original miles. It has new tires but the date on them is 2012. No rust under. But the black water tank should have been mounted on the passenger side, it's too shallow and plugs up.

We have owned our BT Cruiser 5255 for a year and have had no quality control issues other than a shower leak, which the dealer fixed.

The passenger side arm rest broke, but seems to me that's a Ford issue.

Love the big V-8.

Maybe beginner’s luck or God looking out for me, but I bought my first ever RV, a 2003 BT that was well maintained and I couldn’t be happier. Sure it looked a little outdated but I’m gradually changing little things to update and personalize. Everything so far works as it should with the exception that my fresh water tank isn’t draining when I pull the plug. I’ve got to investigate the reason for that. I do wonder if the quality was better “back then” than it might be now.

I know I am responding to a old post but my 2021 passenger arm rest just broke a month ago as well, must be a Ford issue.

My fresh water tank didn’t drain well until I removed the water tank’s top center black plug. But, that’s a temporary fix.

I need to look at the air bleeder line that’s above the outside fresh water fill point.
A fellow RVer thinks it may be plugged inside that tube. That line is really the only way to allow for a good fill and a fast drain.
