Introducing Luxury On Wheels: The Prime Time Crusader Fifth Wheel
New for 2021, the Crusader fifth wheels come with an auto-leveling system, residential kitchens, deluxe graphics and gel coat on the exterior, ottoman bench dinette seating, and of course, a butcher block island countertop!
Here are some exterior features we love. There is oversized pass-through storage, a “smart arm” awning, and rubberized suspension for a smooth ride. On the interior, we know you’ll be blown away by the hardwood cabinets, residential carpet, premium flooring, and theater seating with recliners. There’s also the bonus of having a hide-a-bed sofa to sleep your occasional guests.
Each fifth wheel in the Crusader line also comes with a 15k BTU a/c unit and a 35k BTU gas furnace. You’ll also enjoy an additional 5100 BTU LED fireplace to keep you cozy. With the Crusader, you’ll be comfortable in your new fifth wheel all year round. There are also optional upgrades for the thermal package to withstand even the most frigid of temperatures.
If you’re big into cooking, you won’t want to miss the kitchen. With solid countertops and a butcher block island, you’ll feel like a master chef. You will also enjoy stainless steel appliances and oversized drawers to fit all your favorite pots and pans.
Each Crusader also has a king-sized shower with a seat. There is also a surrounded tub available in some models. You definitely won’t feel cramped with these bathroom layouts.
Keep reading for the unique features of each of the 6 models available.
305RLP Model Overview
The 305RLP model has a large living area with two opposing slides. One slide is extra deep, so it gives you even more space. There is theater seating for two, a hide-a-bed couch, and a free-standing dinette. These features give you enough room for the entire family to socialize together.
In the kitchen, we love the butler’s pantry that has an abundance of storage space. Plus, you still get the high-end appliances mentioned in the overview of all Crusader fifth wheels.
As you head upstairs, you’ll find the bathroom that has a large shower. Unlike most RVs, it also has a linen closet, so you have storage space for your extra towels. Next comes the bedroom with a queen-sized bed, overhead cabinets, and a large wardrobe that slides out.
315RSK Model Overview
This Crusader model has an external length of 35’ 8”. The living area of the 315RSK is almost the same as the 305 RLP. It too, has opposing slides with most of the same features described above. The only difference is that it has a booth dinette and a smaller pantry.
The major difference with the 315 RSK is the added bedroom space. It has a king-sized bed that slides out to give you a more comfortable night’s sleep. The bedroom in this model still has plenty of storage space, so you can bring all your favorite clothes. It also has space for a washer in the cab area.
330MBH Model Overview
Next up comes the 330MBH model. At 38’ 2”, this model has noticeably more space. It has a separate bunk room in the middle of the RV. This room has a hide-a-bed couch and drop-down loft. There is also a small wardrobe in this extra room. This model is the go-to if you have kids and need extra sleeping space.
The living area is similar to the other models. It has opposing slides, a full kitchen, a hide-a-bed couch and theater seating. A primary difference in the living and dining area is that rather than a dinette, there is a table with four chairs. While some people prefer this over a dinette, you lose out on the extra storage space.
Upstairs is a spacious bathroom with a linen closet like the other 2 models. The 330MBH has a queen bed with a small slide-out wardrobe in the bedroom.
335RLP Model Overview
If you go with the 335 RLP, it won’t disappoint. It doesn’t have a bunk room, but it has one of the most spacious living/kitchen areas and a larger bedroom than the previous models. It is perfect for singles or couples with no kids.
The kitchen comes fully equipped like all the rest. It also has a hide-a-bed-, theater seating, and a dinette. And wonderfully, the 335 RLP also brings back that large pantry!
Upstairs you have the same layout for the bathroom. The bedroom area though is a little larger than the other models. And it has a dresser which is a dream come true for a regular RVer. The bedroom has a king bed that slides out. It also has a washer and dryer prep area in the cab.
382MBH Model Overview
We have now made it to the longest model of the Crusader available. The 382 MBH is 42’ 4” for its exterior length. This means you get the best of every previous model. This version comes with a dinette, so you have added storage space in the dining area. Upgrades to the kitchen include a larger fridge, and you still have pantry space. There is also a bonus outdoor opening fridge next to the outdoor kitchen.
In the middle of the layout, there is a sleep and playroom perfect for the kids. They will also have their own wardrobe space.
The bedroom comes standard with a queen bed, but you can upgrade to a king bed for even more sleeping space. There is also a dresser in the bedroom, which is an amazing feature for an RV. There is also a huge wardrobe and washer/dryer prep in the cab area.
You won’t have to sacrifice anything with the 382MBH!
Crusader 395BHL Model Overview
Last, is the 40’ 10” 395 BHL floor plan. This layout is a lot different from the other models. And we just have to say, it is amazing.
In the back is a totally separate room. This room has a loft with a 54×80 bunk mat and wardrobe. Below the loft is a 54x 74 bed. You won’t have to sacrifice at all if you have a big family. Plus, you can enjoy some added quiet in the evenings since the master bedroom is on the opposite end of the RV up the stairs. There is also a half bath just outside the extra bedroom.
Even with this added bedroom and bathroom in the back, you won’t be sacrificing space in the living area. There are still two slides in this area, although one is smaller and just bumps out your kitchen.
Upstairs you can still enjoy your extra-large bathroom and slide out king bed. There is a little less storage space in this bedroom, but you’ll still have room for your washer and dryer. And considering the added benefit of an entire extra room, we think the compromise is well worth it.
Prime Time Crusader Fifth Wheels are Unmatched
All in all, the entire line of Crusader fifth wheels is unmatched in design and build. Everything is top of the line and feels more like a sticks and bricks home than an RV. Whether you’re a traveling individual or couple or you have a whole band of kids along, you can find a Crusader designed to fit your needs.
