We sold our 2350 a few years ago and found out that for what we do it was the best layout for us.  Currently have a Roadtrek 210.  We may be making a deal on a 2013 2350 sprinter in the next couple weeks.

We think alike.

Back in the day when shopping for a motorhome to replace THIS ONE that we owned for 24 years, we wanted everything the big class-C's had, but in the smallest available package.  Model 2350 offered all this, much of what we initially sought, much that we appreciated over time.
- a main floor double bed for two adults
- a dinette that can be kept a dinette all the time
- an easy chair to kick back and relax on
- a real sink, stove, and microwave/convection to do real cooking
- a decent size fridge
- a dry bath
- decent heat, a/c, insulation, thermal windows, etc.
- decent fresh and waste water capacities
- decent interior & exterior storage, and also elbow room
- decent functional services like two house batteries, whole house inverter, etc.
- decent construction
- decent 2007 E350 chassis, power train, towing capacity, etc. (averages over 11 mpg when not towing)
- low profile and low center of gravity

Model 2350 was the silver bullet which fits inside our limitedly sized garage.  Yes, it is longer than the longest pickup truck (crew cab with 8 foot bed) but by only 18".  Our 2350 is a palace compared to our previous motorhome.

I hope you find what you are looking for.  It would be great to have you back.

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.
Goin' where the wind goes...

Thanks to all.  Haven't got it yet.  It's a matter of time.  But 99% sure we will be getting it.

No one size fits all is an old true saying. We recently sold a very nice Roadtrek 210 that I really liked for several reasons but found it a bit too small for staying put in a campground for a few days. We bought a Phoenix Cruiser 2552 in October but have yet to take a trip, however we are not concerned because we owned a 3100 Phoenix about 10 years ago and it was great. The 2552 is the same basic layout except about 3’ shorter. We started downsizing and in retrospect probably should have stayed with the 3100 and saved a lot of $$. During the downsizing we also owned a Phoenix 2350 on the Sprinter chassis for one year, nice rig well built and drove good, but the corner bed didn’t work for us. I would advise you to do some reasearch on the Sprinter’s from the 2011 thru 2016 era so you are aware of the potential for DEF , ABS sensors, service availability and $$$,and other less common issues. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t buy one, they are a great highway vehicle, but there are things that you should be aware of before you take the plunge. I have a lot of respect for Phoenix Cruisers and Coachhouse, they are two of the best built rvs. Good luck in your search.

Dave,  I have owned a 2350 before and traveled about.  Wasn't convinced the corner bed was good for us.  Bought a Roadtrek 210.  To old to crawl over each other in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.  After discussing all the RV's we have owne, the 2350 suited us perfectly for the way we travel.  Thanks for your input and advice.  My only concern would be the DEF on the sprinter 3.0.

My wife and I agree that our model 2350 is not ideal for our middle-of-the-night bathroom visit, but we work with it.  We both get up, one goes right after the other, then its back to bed.

I have lots of reservations with any modern day diesel with DEF and the Sprinter is no exception, but I have beat that conversation to death on multiple forums.
