Quality /durability of Shasta Phoenix 5ers? 34RD?
We went shopping again today, to look at some more used units. More musty or doggy smelling ones! So, we decided to look at some new ones. We saw this unit (34RD) and I fell in love with the floor plan of the kitchen/dining/living area!! Rear dining!! Very unusual!! I love to cook! There was so much room in the kitchen with the counter space and pantry!! So, that was the "wow" factor!
However, one huge concern is the smaller size of the bedroom closet! If we put a washer and dryer in the closet, that takes up both ends of the closet, leaving a tiny space for hanging clothes. We plan to live in it while we do renovations on our house, so it should be able to withstand daily use for quite some time....perhaps a year.
The other concern that I have...The shower surround sections are attached to the walls behind them with some kind of screws or rivets all along the interior of the shower surround. I am wondering if the holes that have been created by the rivets would allow water intrusion to the walls behind the shower surround...any experience or thoughts on this type of construction? I know that this brand is not high-end, so there are some cheap-outs on these units, but the weight and the length, as well as the price fits our parameters, so we are interested in the unit.
Does anyone own one of these? Or any other Shasta Phoenix? Would love to hear about the quality /durability/ insulation factor of these units, etc.
We did not see any stickers that said that it was a 4 season camper. Don't know if these come with a four season package.... Please share any problems you have had with the make and the manufacturer!
Thanks for your help in advance!!
