“Luxury to the MAX”
INTRODUCTION
When our design team created LaCrosse Luxury Lite, the intent was to build an Ultra Lite travel trailer that was significantly better than the competition. To accomplish our goal, LaCrosse went “outside the box” with innovative floorplan design. We looked at travel trailers in higher price points and said, “our lite weight minded customers would love this – let’s add it!” To ensure a TOTALLY SATISFYING ownership experience, we implemented extensive testing and quality control standards for LaCrosse that went beyond what any product of it’s type will ever experience. We wanted to make sure that LaCrosse could still fit into the budget of a first time RV owner, so we were careful to choose the exact components to build a product that was better AND affordable. The result of our efforts is LaCrosse Luxury Lite– an Ultra Lite travel trailer that has earned the tag line “Luxury to the MAX”.
Visit our web site at www.primetimerv.com for more information on additional features and benefits of LaCrosse Luxury Lite.
As you look through the following pages, we think you will agree with the hundreds of satisfied LaCrosse owners on the road and in campgrounds across America that the LaCrosse Luxury Lite is truly “Luxury to the MAX”!

Deep bowls and LaCrosse’s hi rise metal faucet accommodate even the largest pans.
MAX Feature – Flush Mounted Sink Covers Great looking sink covers are designed to sit flush with the countertop to create lots of extra work space in the kitchen. Sometimes they are even used to hide dirty dishes when an unexpected guest arrives!

MAX Feature – “EZ LUBE” Greaseable Axle Hubs Do it yourself maintenance is a snap with LaCrosses’s EZ Lube greaseable axle hubs. Just connect a standard grease gun to the zirk fitting on the axle hub and lubricate your inner and outter bearings without removing the wheel or the hub.

ETERNABOND Construction
ETERNABOND is the name given to Prime Time’s industry leading construction design that combines light weight durability with tremendous insulation and sound deadening properties. Read on to learn more about the advantages of ETERNABOND
ETERNABOND Feature – Laminated, Aluminum Sidewalls
LaCrosse’s aluminum framed sidewalls are 2” thick with four layers: (1) 1/8” interior lauan with vinyl covering (2) 1.5” welded aluminum and EPS Foam (3) 1/8” exterior lauan (4) Gel coated fiberglass
ETERNABOND Feature – Laminated, Aluminum Rear Wall
LaCrosse’s rear wall is built with the same aluminum framed, laminated construction as the sidewalls. Most competitors cut corners in this area by offering a non-laminated wall that is typically built out of wood. Test for yourself – if the wall is solid, it’s probably laminated. If the wall is spongy, it’s probably not.
CONSTRUCTION
“Luxury to the MAX”
ETERNABOND Feature – Laminated, Aluminum Slide Out End Walls
Just like the end wall, the slide room is typically a place where manufacturers cut corners in construction – not LaCrosse. The slide out end walls are made with the same aluminum, laminated construction.
ETERNABOND Feature – Laminated, Aluminum Slide Roofs
Your slide out roof is one of the most critical areas of your RV so LaCrosse goes the extra mile to assure your complete satisfaction and long term durability. These strong roofs are designed to support hundreds of pounds and can easily be walked on during periodic maintenance or to clean off debris.
ETERNABOND Feature – Laminated, Aluminum Main Floor
No spongy floors with a LaCrosse! The five-layer laminated design of the main floor offers unmatched strength and lightweight durability. An extra layer of moisture barrier (black on top in picture) is secured to the bottom of the floor for extra protection from the elements.
CONSTRUCTION
“Luxury to the MAX”
ETERNABOND Feature – Welded Construction
Unlike many of our competitors, LaCrosse aluminum studs are welded - NOT screwed together - to provide long term strength and durability.
ETERNABOND Feature – EGS Backers in Walls and Floors
LaCrosses are laminated with electro-galvanized sheet metal backer plates in the walls and floors to provide for strong, secure anchor points for cabinets and interior walls. This picture shows EGS backer above a window that will provide an anchor point for an overhead cabinet.
ETERNABOND Feature – 100% Glue Coverage on All Laminated Parts
Prime Time’s advanced glue applicator provides 100% glue coverage on every sheet of our plywood substrate. The glue is mixed with a special dye that glows “purple” under the fluorescent black light of the applicator that clearly indicates to our production team full coverage is being achieved.
CONSTRUCTION
“Luxury to the MAX”
MAX Feature – Powder Coated I-Beam Frames
In order to resist rusting, all LaCrosse frames are sprayed with a high quality powder coated material.
MAX Feature – Enclosed Underbelly
Using a lightweight, yet very strong corrugated ABS material, Prime Time completely encloses the underbelly of the LaCrosse. This protects the vital components in your chassis, provides extra insulation properties, and ensures smooth air flow under the RV during transit.
MAX Feature – Thermal Package Plus
LaCrosse’s enclosed underbelly is heated with a 2” heat duct direct vented from your furnace to protect your holding tanks, water lines, and dump valves from the elements during cold weather use.
CONSTRUCTION
“Luxury to the MAX”
MAX Feature – Heavy Duty EPDM Roof
Your long term satisfaction is guaranteed with LaCrosse’s heavy gauge EPDM roof. Complete with a 12 year warranty this material will resist the annoying chalking and fading that often leads to black run-off marks appearing on the side of your trailer.
MAX Feature – Walk On Roof With 3/8” Decking
LaCrosse’s extra strong roof is capable of supporting heavy snow loads or the periodic trip on the roof for inspection and maintenance.
MAX Feature – Butyl Lined Exterior Moldings and Baggage Doors
You’d be shocked to know that most manufacturers don’t install putty tape under moldings or behind baggage doors – instead they simply seal these areas with a thin bead of exterior silicone. Not LaCrosse! We go the extra mile to prevent harmful water intrusion.
