WHAT ONE COSTS
—price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~15,171 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 13,504 lb + fresh water (104 gal, full) 867 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around16,860 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)16,500 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~3,575 lb (24%)
Cargo capacity2,996 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 18 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the CM38RL's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

CrossRoads (Mixed tier): CrossRoads' flagship fifth wheel under Keystone/Thor ownership - aluminum-framed laminated sidewalls, 12 in I-beam, 7,000 lb Dexter axles and residential appliances are a real step above the Volante/Cruiser tier, but CrossRoads volume QC and the line's quiet 2024 discontinuation keep it out of the top tier.

FINDING ONE

Findable — a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: CrossRoads is a volume manufacturer; only 2 model years. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.
