Cruiser RV Class A - Diesel reviews

The Ford F650 chassis this super c is built on makes this rig very easy to drive. It is a very rough ride for anyone behind the driver seat however. We will be upgrading the suspension ASAP. On paper nexus seems like the right company to build these rigs, but in reality their execution matches every other garbage builder in competition to see how much the customer will pay for less and less craftsmanship. Starting with lack of sealant EVERYWHERE. No exaggeration i have spent 3 weeks crawling every inch sealing where they missed. We had water intrusion in every storage cabinet and all along the bulk head where the cab meets the living space. There is no protective coating to keep rust away from their exposed "steel cage construction " under the rig. Chafed wires in and around everything that needed to be repaired. The roof top ac units do not line up with the roof ducts and result in poor air flow. When welding the leveler to the frame they melted a factory ford wire bundle. There are screw holes in the floor where it seems like the tried to mount the cabinets then decided to move them. It wasn't until after my high preassure rushed purchase from the general rv that I realized my truck didnt come with any of the standard features marketed on their website (power mirrors, air ride seats etc). It feels like we bought the prototype proof of concept model built on a left over chassis. The premium full body paint they are so proud of is super thin with orange peel and over spray throughout the rig. I have purchased and replaced multiple plugs caps and body panel gromets that were taken out for painting and not reinstalled. There is a huge gap in quality of details for a super c class rig. Overall we are happy with the design and layout but if I could go back I would have selected a different manufacture. Yes this is a brand new rv and under warranty but if they didnt do it right the first time, how long will it take if at all to get it right the second time. Show less

I keep reading reviews how this MotorHome was quality built. I bought it used at 4,000 miles on 2024 .For the first year the fan closure in the bathroom did not close. The exhaust valve on the hot water heater was defective. The fresh water valve needed replacement. The reclining chair foot wire broke. The cabinet door in the bathroom and upfront passenger side needed new hinges. Need a new battery after first camping trip. Many of these items were covered by extended warranty plus a co-payment. The major concern happen on my birthday week camping at Cherokee ,North Carolina May 26,2025. I plugged the electrical cord in shore power. No electricity. I took it to my to My RV Coastal Center in Ravenel ,SC. It took 26 hours at $199.00 per hour to isolate the electrical problem created by Phoenix Cruiser builders. Pictures were taken . The fuse box had two circuit breakers mislabel plus the wiring run along the slide out side kept rubbing until it shorted the whole system. A letter was written to the factory but it did not receive a answer. The investigation by the extended warranty Good Sam's agreed with the hours taken to find the problem but they only paid for 4 hours. The RV Center has offered to supply the pictures for documentation . The warranty company and factory has not answered my letter as of today March 16, 2026. Show less

My husband and I love our 2018 Phoenix Cruiser 2552 B+ motorhome. We had initially bought a Class C which leaked like a sieve and the overhang had cracks throughout its structure causing continuous leaks up front. High winds would lift the rig off the road in the front due to the overhang. Class B RVs have thick, sturdy fiberglass roofs and bodies than class c which has a vastly inferior TPU roof. Our RV has top of the line Lippert slide mechanism and double pane windows with argon gas insulation which keeps the RV nice and cool in the worst summer heat. Phoenix also has thick, high quality leather seats and sofas that stand the test of time, mechanized beds to conjoin the twin beds as well as a mechanized sofa that lies flat for sleeping . The storage capacity in this unit is phenomenal given its size and the cabinetry are high quality, Amish made hardwood. Many fellow RV aficionados admire our RV and most have fifth wheels or a Class A and are looking to downsize. This model easily fits in all RV parks and takes switchbacks up and down mountains like a breeze with its 365 HP E450 motor. It's comfortable, quiet and powerful. We have excellent solar panels affixed on the roof with an installed inverter to run all of our electronics while boondocking. We also have a plug and play unit installed for our Yeti solar panel generator which efficiently runs the HVAC when disconnected from shore power or On an generator usage. Lastly, RV dealerships will tell you that Phoenix Cruisers never stay on their lot for very long because they're synonymous with luxury and high quality. Show less

Very comfortable ride. Good craftsmanship. Easy control s Would buy another Phoenix cruiser in the future. We have drove from coast to coast. It makes camping fun Never known how Beautiful our country is . Our next vacation trip is to Alaska Show less

We live in Colorado so wanted a diesel pusher to make it up mountain roads without being stuck in the slow lane. This is our home away from home. With three slide outs, this RV is very comfortable to relax inside with the family on a rainy day and not be on top of each other. Decent size closet and drawers in master bedroom for longer trips. The sliding door for the bedroom allows for privacy from guests sleeping in the main area. Two bathroom sinks are helpful. The shower is roomy for larger sized adults. Adults sleep comfortably on the queen size pull out couch mattress that air inflates and is surrounded by a quilted, zip close, mattress cover. The dining room table folds down to sleep two more guests. The kitchen has lots of counter space and cabinets to make preparing meals easy. The two air conditioning units worked fantastic when we camped a Lake Powell in 100 degree weather. Storage down under is made easy with sturdy roll out units. The motorized awning is awesome for eating outside, protected from the sun and rain. We have many happy memories of camping trips to Yellowstone, Glacier, Arches, and Yosemite in our RV. One of our friends gave it the nickname "The Starship Enterprise." We have certainly explored the world's beyond! Show less

This is a great very well felt RV and we love ours. Great floor plan excellent quality good drivability, the only problem is that National RV went out of business so I can't say anything about the factory or warranty support on it otherwise it would get five stars all the way across! Show less

This is my 20th new RV since 1978. Ranging from tiny to diesel pushers up to 42 feet. Size depending on family size over the years. I enjoy the RVing life but this most recent Rig[2025 BT Cruiser] has been a poorly constructed mess. Water leaks/missing options/sloppy assembly and a company that will not return phone calls or answer e-mails directed to a supposedly customer service department. Frankly it is hard to believe that the owners of the company are unaware of how unprofessional the staff treats customers. I ordered this unit and it was delivered in terrible condition with out any signs of quality control being directed towards its construction. It now has 17 miles on it as I had it trailer delivered from the factory to my dealer. It is now on my property in its own heated/cooled garage awaiting my dealer[good folks] to try and fix all the sloppy work done by the factory. At this time I am unable to use it. I do not know how the Gulf Stream management can sleep at night with their business ethics. I will never buy another of their products. Remember, I have had 20 of these...big and small...and this one is truely an an example of a company with out ethics. Show less

Bought mine a year and a half ago and absolutely love it! Built solid. 32 foot is plenty of space and still easy to drive down the road. Mine has two solar panels already installed. Since I purchased this used and 24 years old the rating for Factory warranty/Support is mute, but it made me put in a rating. Show less

Great Rv to go cross country with. Has full paint & a fiberglass roof. Just had it detailed - washed & ceramic waxed. Show less
