01 Who CrossRoads RV is
CrossRoads RV is a towable-only manufacturer in Topeka, Indiana, founded in 1996 and part of Thor Industries since Thor acquired it for $27 million on 1 November 2004. It builds travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers and extended-stay trailers — and no motorhomes at all, which makes it one of the more focused names in Thor's towable portfolio alongside Heartland and Jayco.
The range is built around five line families, and the naming is the thing to get right before you shop. The Zinger is the volume travel trailer and the line the brand is known for — but “Zinger” is three separate rosters, not one line with trim levels. The full-size Zinger (in production since 2009), the lighter tandem-axle Zinger Lite (since 2018) and the single-axle Zinger Lite Mini (new for 2026) share no floorplan codes at all and carry three separate records at the industry spec databases. All three are profiled here. Alongside them, Sunset Trail is the other volume travel-trailer family (with Select Series and Sport sub-lines), Hampton is the fifth-wheel and destination line (with a Select Series), Redwood is the luxury fifth wheel (with Regency and toy-hauler variants), and Cruiser covers the extended-stay trailers (including Cruiser Aire and the Cruiser destination trailers).
Two notes for anyone cross-checking against older listings or literature. First, Volante is gone: it still turns up in used inventory, but it does not appear anywhere on the current CrossRoads line-up, so it is documented below as discontinued rather than listed as a current line. Second, CrossRoads today routes its owner portal and recall lookup through Keystone RV's systems — Keystone is also a Thor company — so owner registration and recall checks for a CrossRoads trailer are handled on Keystone-branded infrastructure rather than a CrossRoads one.
02 CrossRoads RV lines
CrossRoads' towable families, ordered by live dealer demand. The Listings column is the count of live RVUSA dealer listings carrying that line on 15 July 2026 — it is the demand signal this catalog builds to, so the profiled lines are the ones at the top of it. The profiled lines link through; the rest are documented and will be built out in demand order.
| Line | Tier | Type | Known for | Listings | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zinger | Value | TT | The full-size volume travel trailer, in production since 2009; 32–43 ft, 9 floorplans, all profiled in depth | 131 | Profiled |
| Sunset Trail | Value | TT | The other volume travel-trailer family, incl. the Select Series and Sport sub-lines | 77 | Pending |
| Zinger Lite | Value–Light | TT | The lighter tandem-axle Zinger roster, separate from the full-size line since 2018; 25–34 ft, 5 of 6 plans profiled | 72 | Profiled |
| Hampton | Luxury | 5W · Dest. | Fifth wheels and destination trailers, incl. the Hampton Select Series | 50 | Pending |
| Zinger Lite Mini | Entry | TT | New for 2026 and the only single-axle line CrossRoads builds; 16–22 ft from 2,550 lb dry, all 6 plans profiled | 44 | Profiled |
| Redwood | Luxury | 5W · Toy Hauler | The luxury fifth wheel, incl. the Redwood Regency and the Redwood toy haulers | 16 | Pending |
| Cruiser Aire | Mid | TT · 5W | The Cruiser Aire extended-stay trailers | 12 | Pending |
| Cruiser | Extended stay | Dest. | The Cruiser extended-stay and destination trailers | 7 | Pending |
| Volante | — | TT · 5W | Discontinued — still in used inventory but absent from the current CrossRoads line-up | 12 | Used only |
The line roster is taken from the CrossRoads factory brochures index, which is the manufacturer's own list: Zinger, Zinger Lite, Zinger Lite Mini, Sunset Trail (+ Select Series, + Sport), Cruiser, Cruiser Aire, Cruiser Destination Trailers, Hampton (+ Fifth Wheel, + Select Series), Redwood (+ Regency, + Toy Haulers). Volante is not on it. Listing counts are live RVUSA dealer inventory on 15 July 2026, and each was checked against two controls: a make-wide query (479 listings) and a deliberately invalid model string (also 479, because RVUSA silently falls back to the make-wide result when a model does not resolve). Every figure in the column above is well clear of 479, so each is a genuine per-line count rather than a fallback. The three Zinger rosters together account for 247 of the 479 live CrossRoads listings — just over half the brand's dealer inventory — which is why they are profiled first.
03 How the range fits together
CrossRoads' ladder is unusually legible once you separate the three Zinger rosters. At the bottom, the Zinger Lite Mini is the entry point to the whole catalogue — 16 to 22 feet, from 2,550 pounds dry and a 224-pound tongue on the lightest plan, and the only single-axle line the company builds. Above it the Zinger Lite is the tandem-axle half-ton line, 25 to 34 feet on 7,500 to 8,800-pound chassis. Above that the full-size Zinger runs 32 to 43 feet on 9,500 to 13,200-pound chassis, from six berths to twelve, and is where the brand does its volume. Sunset Trail runs a parallel travel-trailer family at similar money. At the top, Hampton and Redwood are the fifth wheels, with Redwood the luxury flagship, and Cruiser covers the extended-stay and destination trailers designed to be parked rather than towed weekly.
The cross-shop is the value bracket rather than the badge. The Zinger sits against Forest River's Salem / Wildwood and Aurora, Prime Time's Avenger, Keystone's Springdale, Coachmen's Catalina and Palomino's Puma; the Zinger Lite against Jayco's Jay Flight SLX, Keystone's Passport and Grand Design's Transcend Xplor; and the Zinger Lite Mini against Forest River's Geo Pro and E-Pro, Winnebago's Micro Minnie, Cherokee's Wolf Pup, the r·pod and No Boundaries. Several of those are Thor stablemates rather than outside rivals, which is worth remembering when a dealer frames a comparison.
One thing CrossRoads does better than most of the value bracket: it publishes an MSRP for every floorplan on its own roster card, and its GVWR is published per plan rather than derived. Across all 21 plans in the three Zinger rosters, the dry weight plus the cargo capacity equals the published GVWR to the pound — so the weights in this catalog are shown without derivation or estimation. What it does not publish is an exterior width, an axle rating, a tire size, or a reliable per-plan interior height, and there is no 2026 brochure for any Zinger line — the most recent factory literature is February 2025, and there is no brochure for the Zinger Lite Mini in any year. Those gaps are marked on the line hubs rather than filled in.
