Title: Phoenix Cruiser sighhtings
Post by: suekg on July 24, 2015, 04:53:26 pm
I just returned from a trip to Manistee Michigan, and we stayed at Little River Casino RV Park, and saw two other PCs. I didn't get to talk to either of the owners,  buty I was surprised to see them all at the same p!ace!

Well, I'm there a couple times a month, but not recently. I really like the campground with the woods right there for the dog and great restaurants to walk to.

I'm two hours south in muskegon. We hav a marina down the street from us and hat charges $10 a night - hot showers, power, etc with a view of muskegon lake. Really nice spot.

No Cruiser's sighted in Wisconsin.
Was anyone at the Oshkosh air show this past week? We stayed at the show with our Phoenix for a few days earlier in the week. Thousands of RV's but I didn't see any other Phoenix Cruisers.

A lot of neat RV's there to look at in camp Scholler................I still think our Cruiser was the nicest looking coach there. Born Free was the only manufacturer there with a new coach on display.

This is a real nice place to camp. Wish the weather would have been better, I might have gotten a chance to say hello to whom ever the owners were  they had a nice coach by the way.

Woohoo, my first PC sighting - and right next door!  We pulled into the Munising MI Tourist Park campground on the south shore of Lake Superior and there was a beautiful 2551 in the spot next to us.  100 slots in the campground and our next door neighbors are a very friendly couple from Michigan.

Tell me about it.  We recently returned from a 3.5 week trip out west and back home near Chicago, and did NOT see another PC.   :'(

We have the same story with our first motor home HERE (https://www.flickr.com/photos/37432012@N08/albums/72157621472936441) called a Mirage, built on a Toyota pickup truck chassis, also offered on a Ford and Datsun.  They were made from 1978 to 1986.  Since 1983 when we bought ours, total sightings can be counted using only one hand.

We just got back at 7:45 pm from riding around on the golf cart. Saw a third PC on the othe side of the campground. This one is a 2350 from Virginia. We did not get to meet the owners.

We just returned home to St Augustine from traveling to Maine. In one of the campgrounds Brattleboro, VT KOA North, we found ourselves parked right in front of a PC. Nice couple. Didn't get their names. They are from just outside of Savannah,GA. She used to own a flower shop and her husband is trying to complete a bucket list item of bicycle riding 50 miles in 50 states before their 50th anniversary.
Was nice to see a PC in the wild!!

Spotted this beauty in Spartanburg SC today.  Didn't get to say hello since we were taking our daughter to chemo.  If you are on this forum, hello and hope you are enjoying your travels.

Spent the last two weeks traveling the Natchez Trace parkway from Nashville to Natchez and back. Beautiful area.  We stopped at Rock springs on the way back.  We had to drive around a very narrow park road to get to a trail head.  We left our 2350 in the parking lot.  Low and behold when we returned there was abeautiful PC 2400 parked behind us in the middle of nowhere.  We met a very nice couple who had only had their  PC for a couple of months.  They are from Tennessee.  Theirs was the only PC we saw in over 1200 miles.

I'm glad you made it to the Trace. We enjoyed our run down it last year and met another Phoenix owner at one of the campgrounds we stayed at. I'm guessing you camped at Rocky Spring. That's where a tornado passed over us and touched down a few miles away. We had heard the warning on the weather radio and alerted the other campers so everyone was huddled in those cinder block bathrooms, even our cat (who seriously did not like the smells in the men's room). We had massive wind and rain but the camp was in pretty good shape after it passed. As we drove out on the Trace the next day, we saw where they had already cut and moved downed trees and branches. It is a very well maintained road.

I hope you had some fall colors. It would be gorgeous driving through them. I'd also like to drive it when some of those trails are blanketed in spring wildflowers. Thanks for triggering some great memories.

You were the reason we planned the trip. Thank you for your post.  Theleaves were not colorful and it rained or was cloudy every day but we enjoyed having a beautiful highway almost entirely to ourselves.  The park had a sign along one stretch of the highway marking a huge tornado in MAy 2011.  Made us think maybe spring wouldn't be quite as much fun😃😃 :-D.  The crews kept the road beautifully even with leaves and debris in the rain.

We've driven the Trace twice, last in 2012 (pic).  Had a really great book with us that made it very interesting: http://smile.amazon.com/Traveling-Trace-Complete-Historic-Nashville/dp/1558533400/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1446900924&sr=1-1&keywords=traveling+the+trace

Spotted my first PC today while driving east on Monocacy Blvd  The PC, probably a 2551 or 2552 was westbound heading for RT 15.  Fun to see a PC around Frederick MD.

Probably Tom Hanlon. We're in Frederick but our baby is in storage right up the road. We drove that route last week on the way to emissions test station. They don't test over 25 feet or so but you have to take it in for them to look at first. We now have a waiver for life... or until we change our legal address.

We'd love to meet another Phoenix owner. If you feel the same, send me a personal message and we'll work out a time and place.

Not me. Mine has been winterized and is sitting next to the house waiting for spring.

Include us in your get together plans. Both of you already have my email address.

Passed a PC this past Sunday just east of the Ohio - Indiana border on I-70 headed west. It was around 8:00 am. Looked like a newer 2551/2. We weren't in ours  :'(  Wondered who it was as we have only seen a handful while out and about.
