Chuck is right on with stain removers . Stay away abrasive cleaner they wil leave a dull finish that will be hard to get the gloss back like the other finish.

Those are a really nice solutions. How long did it take to get then after order. Also did you drive your cruiser to Weavers to get them  installed?

I bet you are excited waiting for your new Cruiser . We would love to come down and see it when you get it . I expect to buy used because we are not sure how often we will use it . Living here In the Norh is great and a hard place to leave in he summer. Our 2 PWD are the biggest reason we want to try traveling in an RV . 
Best of luck

A quick introduction. We are Bill and Cathe Seaman and we thinking about owning a Phoenix Cruiser most likely a 2551 .Having never owned an RV of any kind and we are only considering one now to travel with our 2 Portugease Water Dogs to dog events like agility and water trails . Northern Michigan is home for us . The time fram for purchase is up in the air depending on the sale of a 37 ft sailboat we just listed . So for now I'am keeping up on the Used market of what Phoenix Cruiser are for sale and for how much money . We would consider a 2007 or newer depending on price as it seem like their are several used 2551 out there to chose from .
Thank you for your help

I'am currently looking it used Cruisers and how could you tell if it had the insulated glass . The insulated glass seems like a good option for cool weather usage .
Thank you

Well it looks like to me a 2010 or newer is the best option . With a 2010 2551 and newer I would get the full slide with coach and refigerator . This would open up the area when the slide is out and could be a big deal when traveling with 2x50lb  Portugease Waterdogs . I do not know if their are any other advantages to going newer them a 2009 or so . The coach/ Bed is another issue but that is an easily replaceable item from what I can tell .

Well i'am not sure what  to think of the 2010  2551 listed of crag list . How could a 2010 have the old dash board in it ? I send some time yesterday searching and all the pictures of 2009 and 2010s I could find and they all have the new style dash board . Something is fishey here . I could ask Earl it the factory for the build sheet if I wanted to think about making an offer .

I have to said how impressed I 'am with information everyone has provided here . after reveiw  all the posts a newer PC has a lot of advantages . It looks to me like has years go up the price goes  up about $5000 per year . Of course the options and mileage  make a differents but you have to look it each unit and what it is worth to us. So for now we are looking it what is on the market and looking it asking prices and then looking to NADA for an idea of its real value . The range now is from a 2009 to 2012 for 2551 with a low milage 2012 5252 thrown in . The other factor is the distance of 500 miles to 2800 miles and the cost of getting it home to northern Mich . This may take a while to work this out .
Thank you for your help

I have contacted the owner and it seems to be in very good condition with new tires and battery's  . Why would the Dashboard matter ? Right now their is 2011 2551 for sale in FLA  with same mileage for 5k more . We are trying to get all information to make an informed decision .

I want to thank every one for the great ideas . After reading your comments and thinking about how we think how we will use this PC a 2007 or newer is the way to go . The battery invertor  issue is big deal for us as we want to  be able go off and not need to plug in . We also want the option of pulling a trailer some times . So Buying  a low mileage 2006 would still need upgrades and this all adds to the cost of ownership compared to buying a newer PC. There is also the issue of resale to an older unit to consider . We will keep looking and narrowing the list of what we think is the best fit for us.
Thank You again

Looking it buying a used 2551 . There are a couple used 2006 on the the E350 chassis for sale and some newer unit on the E450 chassis right now . Is the newer 2551 on the E 450 chassis worth the price different ? I do realize the newer units are worth more because of age and mileage .This would be my frist RV ever and not sure how much I would use it. What we are trying to decide is what is wrong with the older and cheaper 2006 2551 over said 2011 2551 and $20000 more dollars .
Thank You
