The 2024 Prime Time RV Crusader 375FLS just may be the perfect fifth wheel for those who like to RV in comfort and style. With 7-foot-plus ceiling in the main area and a king bed at the rear, this RV is especially well-suited for even the tallest RVers. But space in the Crusader 375FLS is more than vertical. The front area boasts a fantastic living room — with enough room to have the whole gang over to watch the game on the massive TV.

The RV Trader Process

RV Trader asked RV shoppers what was most important to them in their RV buying process. Potential buyers — like you — helped us to identify a list of six key areas that camping and travel enthusiasts always look at when they’re searching for the perfect RV: sleeping space, bathroom, living area, four-season capabilities, and storage space.

The RV Trader team then got to work providing you with an honest and unbiased evaluations. And that’s where I come in. I’m Lynne Fedorick, RV expert and enthusiast. Whenever I review any RV, my goal is always to perform the review objectively. I evaluate everything on the RV from top to bottom. All without any undue influence from manufacturers or retailers.

RV Trader sent me to the Forest River showroom in Elkhart, Indiana to look at 2024 RVs from the diverse brands included in the Forest River family. I inspected each RV with the buyer’s perspective at the forefront. How well would each RV meet the needs and requirements of its intended buyer? Above all, I wanted to seek out answers to this question, so I looked at the six key areas with this in mind. 

So, let’s take a closer look at the Crusader 375FLS.

 

Sleeping Space

Beyond a pale colored door at the rear of the 375FLS, you’ll find the master bedroom featuring a walk-around king bed. Here, plenty of windows create an inviting space. (While blackout roller shades help to ensure peaceful, uninterrupted sleep.) On either side of the bed, you’ll find a nightstand with USB ports that could hold a CPAP machine. To the right of the bed is the wardrobe closet. While it is prepped for a washer and dryer, there’s not an incredible amount of room. Even so, at the foot of the bed there is a dresser that can be used to store smaller clothing items. Beneath the bed you’ll find more generous storage space.

In the living room, two sleeper sofas that pull out and create sleeping space for four additional guests. Each has a convenient space underneath to store bedding and pillows.

 

Bathroom

The bathroom in the Crusader 375FLS is spacious enough that anyone under 6 foot 5 inches will feel comfortable — even in the shower, which has sliding glass doors and a shower seat. There’s an EasyCare porcelain toilet and plenty of cabinet storage in and above the vanity. There’s even another cabinet above the toilet to ensure all your essentials have a place.

 

Living Area

As I mentioned in the intro, the living room at the front of the Crusader 375FLS is an absolute showstopper. It’s dominated by an entertainment center that includes a 70-inch TV over a cozy 15,000 Btu fireplace. It’s flanked by two pull-out sofa beds and faced by comfy theater seating. The theater seats have handy beverage holders and a central storage console. It’s a perfect place for guests to visit or sleep over. The 7-foot-plus ceiling of the living room adds a really residential feel here. 

Two 15-foot awnings with awning lights also add sheltered outdoor living space.

 

Kitchen

You’ll find all the necessities to entertain guests in the central kitchen in the Crusader 375FLS. There’s a modern dining table and chair set under a modern light fixture in the kitchen slide-out. This does a lot to add a chic vibe to this kitchen. But there are a lot of other nice touches. There are the stainless-steel, residential-style appliances, including a 16-cubic-foot, French-door refrigerator, a four-burner cooktop, a full-size oven with a warming drawer, and an air fryer/microwave. Food preparation will be a breeze with this kitchen’s efficient triangle full of expansive white, solid-surface counters, and complete with a farmhouse-style sink and pull-down faucet. 

There’s also plenty of storage space for food storage, kitchen tools, and more in cabinets throughout the kitchen. (Plus, a walk-in pantry with oodles of shelves.) A four-bottle wine rack shelf make this RV more adult-oriented, especially if you’re planning a personal wine tour. 

 

Four-Season Capabilities

The Crusader 375FLS comes outfitted with two air conditioners, a gas furnace, and an electric fireplace. But what really bolsters its four-season capabilities are its enclosed underbelly, tank heaters, and insulation package. 

 

Storage Space

There isn’t an excessive amount of storage space in this RV, especially for hanging clothes such as jackets and coats. However, it’s certainly adequate and what there is can be maximized — easily. For instance, with a simple addition of coat hooks in the pantry area, this area could be used for jacket storage. 

Outside, a roomy passthrough basement storage cabinet is big enough to hold camping chairs, sporting equipment, and whatever else you need to store. 

 

Final Thought on the Crusader 375FLS

Finding an RV that they can truly feel comfortable in can be difficult for taller RVers. It’s just a fact. But — forgive the pun — this is where the Prime Time RV Crusader 375FLS stands out. This fifth wheel has plenty of headroom throughout and a full-size king bed that lets you stretch out in comfort.
