Yes, I noticed just last night that Phoenix had also added the new Transit 2100 to their inventory page on their site.  I hadn't looked at the inventory page for some time since it was so outdated and inaccurate.  Looks like they have finally corrected that with updated inventory.  Here's hoping they keep the data updated--gives the website more credibility.

One HUGE issue... The microwave mounted on top of the refrigerator?  What happens when some shorter person tries to take out a big pot of stew and it catches on something and tips?

Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but that was the first thought when I saw that picture.

That is my wife's complaint with our 2007 2350.  Her height of 5'-2" places our microwave oven a bit high for her.  Still she manages without my assistance most of the time.

My wife is 5'1".  Same problem.  Also getting into some of the beds.  We found this neat stool that folds. 1"X11", fits right in our travel duffel bag.

Beat you both -- I'm 5'0".  However, I did arrange to marry someone who helps move pots and notices faster than I do when it needs cleaning.  So he cleans.  Agree that a microwave over the refrigerator is an accident waiting to happen.  Probably designed by a tall guy. 

PS -- I also have a little trouble climbing into bed, and the bathroom fan switch is almost out of reach.

Did I just not see it or do the specs just not appear anywhere?   Tank sizes, actual exterior dimensions, etc.   

Also, remember those small Class A's back in the 80s that had full windows across the back?   Looking at the pics of the rear of the coach and looking at the pic of the kitchen my question is......why not?
Looks like the window is there from the outside and covered up by the rear wall from the inside.   What am I missing in this?  From the interior picture of the kitchen it appears there is just a blank wall for the backsplash and the whole thing could be a window and really open up the coach with lots of light.

Jim Byrnes is here at the reunion and brought new brochures so I thought I could answer the question on specs. BUT the two new models are not in there. They are the prototypes going to the Hershey RV show. Jim said they are taking six units to Hershey this year.

I too am at the reunion and have the 2100. So very interested in some of the features in this new prototype. Asked Jim Byrnes some specific questions. It is 22.5’ long—18” more than the 2100. Thus the space for the pantry next to the fridge and longer bed. Just the screw in pedestal table. He didn’t have exterior width but thought a little narrower than current 2100. Microwave is not much higher than curren position. I too use, when needed, one of the fold up stools that I store next to toilet.

I agree.  It would be nice to have a larger rear window.  I wonder if they don't have it so to avoid cooking splatter on the window and metal horizontal shades.  That would be very hard to clean and keep clean.

Other than price, I wonder why PC decided to not use the MB Sprinter killer Transit I-5 3.2 diesel. A platform thats been around for almost 40 years in Europe.
I suppose a good entry "throw it up on the wall to see if it sticks" idea.....then go from there.

Looks like the TRX sold pretty quick.  It has been missing from the "for sale" page for about a week.

Could be sign of the times with the new Ford Transit?

Maybe. I was told it was their template to make more so they didn't really want to sell it. Bill Golden posted more pics of it on the Phoenix Cruisers Travel Club FaceBook Group if anyone is interested. He saw it last week at the factory. It was back from Hershey but the other new model was coming back on a truck.
