This rv certainly looks like it is in good shape. I found out it also has 4 solar panels, 2 house batteries and hydraulic levelers.

BUT, for some reason I have had a bad feeling about this. When I spoke to Darin, the owner of Trades OK, he said this unit was about a 9 out of 10 for the exterior and a 7 out of 10 for the interior. I had started asking Darin some questions about the unit and he wasn’t at the unit so he said to email them to him and he would get me the answers. I got an email from him that he was delivering a unit that Saturday and he would get to it later. He never did.

I got someone to inspect the unit. Darin said he could make Saturday work and everything would be hooked up and unlocked. The inspector called Darin a couple of days before the inspection to make sure everything was a go. According to the inspector Darin didn’t know he was coming Saturday. WTH! The unit was plugged into electric but was winterized. So I don’t know much about the plumbing.

For the inside of the unit the refrigerator was at 54 degrees after being plugged in all night. The A/C would not put out cold air. The lp system had a leak down issue. Now to the problems it has.
This thing had/has leaks. I will be posting some pictures later. The wall between the passenger door and the coach door is in extremely bad shape. The wall on the street side of the slide out is in very bad shape. The wall under the slide out is going to require a picture.

So what do you think?

Hello Ron.

Ii is sort of strange about the 2004 2900. It is listed on nada, but only in a diesel. It is not until 2006 that the gas model is listed. I sent a message to the factory to ask about it. I sent the vin to Tina and now I'm waiting for a reply.

I received this back from Tina about the step well -

Regarding the rear kitchen, there is not currently a floor cover. The step well is small and closed to the door, so it does not seem have a large impact on the kitchen area for most. ..Or at least we have not received that feedback  at the plant.

I think I read about someone talking about the step well. I have not seen one in person and the person who posted might not have either.
I will send you my email address in a pm.

Thanks
Willy

Thank you for the welcome.

A bed that had to be made up every time probably would not be too bad. Looking at the 2100 trying to cook in the stairwell would not work for me. I sleep in a queen size bed now and have a queen size bed in my rv. I am probably going to need the longer bed. I think I read in a post from someone that was taller that they got a 2900 for the queen size bed so their feet didn’t hang off the bed. I have seen a 2004 2900 for sale that I am interested in. There was a 2016 3100 not to far away that I went and looked at. It was the first PC that I had seen. I don’t remember the camper shaking when the salesman or I walked around in it. The headroom seemed fine, I don’t remember having to duck. I didn’t ask to drive it because I wasn’t really interested in that model. I cranked it up and it was quite.

Ron, I think I read you have some of the older brochures. I would really like to get some of these. There is a 2004 brochure on the Phoenix Cruiser Facebook page but it doesn’t show a 2900.

Thanks

Willy

Hello everyone.

My name is Willy. I am in south west Virginia. I currently have a 40 foot fifth wheel camper. That makes it pretty hard to stop at some places. I have been looking at class b camper vans but recently came across the Phoenix Cruiser. I would love to get rid of everything and just travel. I travel solo and have been reading through the forum while I waited to get approval to access the forum.
