Know this is a little dated but I would like to know also. Any real experience with any change.

I'm not a 2400 owner, but will take a stab at your question about the fresh tank capacity.  It probably depends on the type of camping you do.  Lots and lots of people hook up to fresh water when they get a site, in which case, their FW tank capacity is sort of a mute point.  Personally, I always operate off of my tanks, even if W hookup is available.  For one person, my 38 gallons gets me two weeks when I act conservatively.  Then its no big deal to simply fill up the tank when I'm at a campground with water.  Hope that helps, at least a little!

Edit:  I just realized that my response may be misleading without giving you more info.  I am able to go two weeks before filling up the FW tank largely because I use campground showers and drink bottled water.  I am only using the FW tank for toilet flushes and dish washing.  So I'm using 2g or so per day (6g is in the water heater and not counted towards the 38g total).

Thank you Carol. I appreciate your explaining that further. I am hearing about the same from most who use the showers at sites. I hope to do some boon docking and as I told Ron it is a 31 gallon tank. I agree I should be able to make that work most often. But your reassurance is helpful as I am only forum educated to this point, a real green horn.

Thanks Ron. I agree with what you said it is just that the 2400 has a 31 gallon tank I believe and that is the lowest of any RV I have looked at. But I guess for just me it should work. Ironically the only major contender for my money other than the PC has a 60 gallon tank. I guess that is over kill.

Thank you, that is reassuring since there have been so many views and no responses until yours. I am glad to see you enjoyed yours.

Hello and thanks in advance. This is my first post outside the intro post.
I am likely looking at a 2011 2400 Ford. I am aware that it has a sofa bed only. I also saw previous posts about the air mattress I believe it has. So I know I will need to address that. I will make a case about the lack of a bedroom but it actually does not matter to me as long as the sofa can be addressed reasonably.
The other concern I have is the lower fresh tank capacity.
Are there any easy solutions to the tank issue or not?
Any other specific issues to the 2400 or the 2011 models?

I should also ask any 2400 owners here if they are happy with the coach?

It has 25000 miles and the photos looks clean.

Hi Jan 

We are on our second PC.  We had a 2350 and now a 2551 both with slides.  Like you, we thought we would enjoy a smaller unit the first time.  We found it to be a little too small for long term travel (3 months at a time).
The 2551 meets our needs perfectly.  The twin beds, compared to the corner bed, and the much larger bathroom are perfect for the two of us.  We even find the 2551 easier to drive then the 2350.

Like Judi said, consider your needs before you buy.  You might also like to rent a unit for a short trip and decide what you like and don't like about it.  If we had rented a unit with a corner bed prior to our first purchase we would not have ordered a 2350.  It is all personal preference.  If you are mostly going to be traveling alone the corner bed could be perfect for you.

Thanks for your advice. I must say I do like that model a lot. I like the twin bed plan  and I really like the models that have the dinette option. If I had a DW I would get a larger unit.

Jan,
Welcome to the Forum . We have had 3 PC's starting with the 2350, no slide. We were new to the RV world at the time and did not see the need for a slide. What a mistake!! Two PC's without and now the 2910 with the slide. I understand that everyone's needs are different and there are those that swear by the no slide option. Not us. The slide offers so much more living space. My advice is to think carefully what you want/need and how you plan to use the RV now and in the future.

Judi Nicholson  (are we related???)

Thank you Judi. I am from the Winchester Va area if you know any there. I am not dead set against the slides just thinking not. Many people have a different opinion so my mind is open still. I need to see the models up close and hope to make a trip to the factory in the next few months. I hope a lot will get cleared up, especially a model and slide or no slide.  As far as space goes, I am open to several floor plans but most of my travel will be solo so beyond a 2351 or 2400 is not likely for me. Thanks again.

Hello and looking forward to learning more about the PC. I confess I am about 2 months into researching the brands and others are still on the short list. The PC is the one most interesting to me. I have not seen one though.

I mean this in the best of ways but Ron Dittmer is everywhere I read anything about rev's. Especially if I search for PC specific info on any worldly board. I was actually reading a post of his here on the general forum when I got the approval email. He is a great Ambassador for PC.

I am likely about 4-8 months from ordering or buying. It is just me and a dog. As a result I am looking for a small unit (2100,2350.2351,2400) really preferring the smaller with no slide. I will ask more about this and rational for one over the other as I get finished with all the posts. I am on page 18. I see much of my thoughts being answered already but more questions pop up also as I read.

I am caring for my mother who is alert and ambulatory but not wise to leave her alone. Not sure if she would want to be involved with the rv or not but suspect she will for short trips of a couple weeks. She is nearly 86 and my priority in life at this point. Any thoughts on her needs or floorpan specific to this issue is appreciated. I have an suv that she has been all over the country in with 2 very large dogs. So the tight space and inconvenience of that she has no problem with.

Sorry for the long winded intro and I will get back to my forum reading and maybe my taxes.
