In Elkhart today, new Phoenix Cruiser owner.
I arrived in the RV mecca - Elkhard IN. My goodness, all the RV makers you read about in one small area here - WOW. I went from a Tent, to a Class C, then a Truck camper, another class C, last one...

Yes you are preaching to the choir on the fit and finish. I just drove 500 miles today in pouring rain all the way, the PC was flawless, no leaks, no creaks, no doors opening, no clangs, NOTHING. If there is such a thing as an RV sports car this is it. Most of all I'm not wiped out like I normally am driving the C's or the A. Heck the A almost killed me with the stress of driving it. The C's killed me because of all the body roll, and no aerodynamics.
I can drive it around like a van and park in single parking spots anywhere,no need for a toad. Stopped at a hotel tonight and was able to back in to a spot between two cars with no problem. Both them and I have room to get to our vehicles.
Two guys parked next to me at an Amish market were admiring the rig and started asking questions so I showed them around. They were stunned at the room inside, the cabinetry, and the size of the rest room.
Come to find out they are inspectors for the transportation department and started "inspecting" the coach. They started pointing out things to me like the way PD ties down their extended tire valves. He said " see this", it shows attention to detail, even we don't do that on our buses.
Here's where the V-10 shines. I tool all the LOOOOONG mountain roads like they were mole hills. 80 mph on 10 and 15 degree grades. Most of the time on flat roads I'm only using 10% of the pedal.
There is no "coach roll" I have always had coach roll in the truck camper, both my C's and in the A, but this had absolutely no roll. Cornering, or with either me passing a truck or a truck passing me it stays rock solid.
Here's the best part, the wife drove it today for a test, and she would never drive the C's of the A, she liked it, said it's just like driving a van.......ahhh that's because it is a van E350. Looks like my life driving just got a whole lot better.
