WHAT ONE COSTS
$34,800est. used (2013, 13 yr old)

Sticker was $73,711 in 2012. Out of production since 2013, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2013 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~13,859 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 12,575 lb + fresh water (58 gal, full) 484 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

GVWR (the sticker maximum)15,500 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,529 lb (18%)
Cargo capacity2,925 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 19 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 RF38CK's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

UnderbellyEnclosed

CrossRoads (Mixed tier): CrossRoads' short-lived luxury fifth wheel, built 2011-2016 first under DS Corp and then Keystone - aluminum-framed laminated walls, 12 in I-beam and 7,000 lb axles were competitive, but the line changed floorplan naming twice in six years and vanished, so parts and resale support are thin.

FINDING ONE

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: CrossRoads is a volume manufacturer; 13 years out of production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

The big centre-kitchen car - 40 ft on a 15,500 lb GVWR, so cargo capacity is the tightest of the RF range.
