I was at the Dallas RV show on Thursday and saw a new 5230 BT Cruiser that wearenh referenced in his post with the link. Well priced and EXACTLY like the 2003 model we bought new right after they started original production. Exactly like in the regard to floor plan. It was on a Ford 350 and ours was a 450 but you could get either back then. Sitting in that coach brought back some great memories of all the fun we had with our 5230. It also made me thankful I am still around 13 years later to enjoy RVs!!
It is great to go to an RV show and see all the units and conclude none of them serve your purpose as well as what you own! The difference in quality of construction and detail of our Phoenix Cruiser is really evident after looking over more mass produced offerings in the same size range. That being said, that little BT Cruiser should sell well because it has lots of storage and a great kitchen all in a small coach. I am attracted particularly to the large side windows which give it a very open feeling. The inside storage is superior to my Phoenix but it is a very different layout because of the jack sofas and no regular bed. The tanks on the BT are also significantly smaller than our PC.
The one on display was "Show Special" $61,995.
