General Discussion / Re: RV Travel: RV inspector recommends the best older motorhome brands

« on: Today at 07:01:16 pm »

Finding a PC for sale in the western states requires patience and/or luck. It appears they are becoming scarcer everywhere else too, excluding 2552’s and 2910’s.

A gently used 2016 with a slideout is almost the holy grail of PC’s. The good old reliable Liftco slide mechanism is engineered to last and runs even smoother and quieter if you maintain the jack screws with spray lube. The difference is immediately noticeable.  Do not use the oily or greasy stuff that can collect dirt and grime.

I keep my antique 2350 looking nice and never have been turned away from a park with the 10 year rule. One did require a walk around inspection but now we’re the same as all their other returning customers. If in doubt  call and ask before making a reservation.



Did the  company revert back to factory direct? Clicking the inventory link no longer brings up a list of dealerships.

There’s a very low mileage 2016 2351 listed in the for sale by owner section of this forum.  Same wheelbase as the 2350 Sprinter.

You might get lucky and find a 2950  with 50A and dual air.

Twin rear beds, single ds slide, and a camp side  galley like a 2552, but with a mid bath.

That’s definitely one of those “if you know you know” finds that not everyone is looking for. Maybe it will be yours? Winter is  just around the corner and the used motorhome market isn’t really  booming.

7.3 V8 in a 2018? The floorplan drawing is wrong too.

50% sounds about right.  5A x 18 hrs = 1080 wH, or 90aH of battery capacity.

Have you considered LiFePO4  instead? A pair of LiTime group 31 12v 140aH or 165aH batteries packs a lot of punch at 1/3 the weight for about the same price  and can be  safely discharged below 20% capacity.  If your converter can be configured for 14.2v charging, the only additional hardware needed is a dc-dc charger to protect the alternator.  If you might be adding solar at some point,  check out the dual input dc-dc chargers from Renogy that support charging from both the alternator or solar panels.  The difficult  part is figuring out the wiring since PC doesn’t provide diagrams. If you need help with that send me a pm. I made the switch last winter

Voltage adds in series. Current  adds in parallel.

If your old batteries were 6v they were connected in series.

Did you replace two 6v batteries with two 12v batteries?

Two 12v batteries should be connected
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-)

60 watts is really efficient if a single 12v compressor kit really only uses 5A.
After seeing pictures of 2350 with the refrigerator removed I would agree that the insulation has room for improvement, especially on the top.

I saw this thread  about a kit to convert a absorption refrigerator to a 12v compressor type. Looks like a DIY project if inclined.
JC refrigeration also sells  the “Amish” rebuild  kit for absorption refrigerators.

Removing the unit from a PC requires taking apart the entry door frame. It may be easier to just rebuild the old one inside using a drop cloth?  If you need tips or pictures for how to remove it look up Volkemon on the PC Facebook  group

If the sofa motor doesn’t turn on check the 20A self resetting circuit breaker. Both sides (green wires) should measure 12v to ground.

Look for a string of 4 or 5 self resetting circuit breakers. In this picture the one on the left is for the tri-fold sofa motor. The green wire on the left side is 12v out. The other green wire is 12v in from the batteries. Voltage from the truck battery  is always present even with the ignition key off. FYI the black wires are 12v for the slide motor, not ground.

Most rv shoppers  have never even heard of a Phoenix Cruiser.

After 9+ years of adventuring around  CA and the southwest Iv’e only seen 2 other PC’s, a 2350  and a 2100.

This website currently shows PC factory outlets in just 5 states.

Maybe the lease was up and they found a better building?  Apple Maps also shows that as the old address of  EQ Systems.

General Discussion / Re: Anyone ever remove decals from your rv?

« on: April 13, 2025, 08:47:34 pm »

In 2016 I was quoted $3k just to remove and replace the decals with custom  vinyl graphics, not even reproduction decals. Instead I got custom  2 color multi-stripe paint work done for $5k. The white between the stripes had to be painted too, so that’s 3 colors. After 9 years of outdoor storage the paint still looks as new except for spider cracks on the side door.

Paint and body work here in CA is crazy $$$ due to the high costs for labor, rent, insurance, Cal EPA regulations, etc. etc. It’s hard just to find a shop with a big enough paint booth. You may  want to search in Arizona or Nevada too
