If the 2008 crusader's canvas is made by isabella now, who made the 2007 canvas does anyone know???????

Does anyone know the differences between the 2 apart from the 2007 having a heater and cd/mp3 as standard..............

I think the 2007 model beds pull out to erect the camper (best option) and the 2008 model uses the same system as the pathfinder where you have to unfold and erect from there.

Both units are great but just to defend the pathfinder, they are a simpler design but less strain on the back to open up and the canvas takes seconds to cover the unit and even then theres no worry as I' ve never had the interior wet during setting up. I bought our camper in 2006 from Highbridge and was told that this was the easier option to open and fold and the beds are lower to get in and out. But at the end of the day I would have either unit.

I have a 2008 Crusader and find the beds really easy to fold out and haven't got them wet so far.  When putting up, it's quick to pull the outer canvas over the top and when you are putting them away, you just need to fold over the edges of the canvas just before folding the beds in.

In terms of price, we compared the Pathfinder and Crusader and felt you would be paying around £300 extra for the Pathfinder for a fan heater and a built in CD player which we felt wasn't worth it.  Also preferred the interior colour of the Crusader.

But whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed.  We love our Crusader.
