Finally narrowed down our search.

Really like both of these. The floorplan of the Crossroads is much more roomier and the bathroom is huge. Jayco has the benefit of the 2 year warranty and the price is about a grand less.

Would love some input on whatever you know about either.. Whether mfgr as a whole, or these specific models.

Jayco Plus: Double Bed bunks Option, chill and store option, access to the front bedroom from both sides of the bed

CrossRoads plus: Double entry, more floor space, easier access to the top bunk, bigger grey water tank.

Both are quality brands. I would get the one that fits your family the best. We liked the crossroads when were looking at TTs due to the more open floor plan and the bigger grey water tank.

What will you be pulling it with?

In reading a lot of the posts on other sites and forums I get the idea that CrossRoads seems to be an inexpensive type Towable and does not get the expected support from the manufacturer. IMHO....

Can anyone elaborate on this? I am on the fence about financing a 5er and I see a lot of used Towables made by CrossRoads. I would hate to sign the papers and find I made a terrible mistake. Still in a nice old comfy Coleman tent....Ah, the easy life....

I have a chance to pick up a 2013 ZT-271BH in excellent condition.

They want 12000 for it. Does it sound like a good deal?

There is a HA that goes with it for another 1500.

$12,000 sounds like a reasonable price if you are buying from a dealer, but too high if it is a private sale. If the Hensley Arrow is used, $1,500.00 is high, but I would pay that if it is in good condition and installed.

Private sale, I threw a number at him and I got a call a few hours ago that he would go for it. Looks Like we now have a 2013 Z-1!

I went over everything with them to make sure it all works and also had them fill and empty the tanks while we were there to see what came out of them and if the tanks were reporting right to the wall meter. It looks like it just came off the dealer floor... I am still waiting for him to give me an answer on the hitch. Oh, did I mention the Z-1 has a power hitch on it?, nice!
