We selected our 2350 Phoenix Cruiser because we normally boondock. We can do any switchback we encounter if we go slow and easy. A couple of our favorite spaces in NF campgrounds we go to pretty well max out with our rig. We tow the Jeep and sometimes park it elsewhere in the campground. Not often, but an option. The corner bed is a hassle but works. The bath is adequate. The couch is two independently articulated side by side loungers that go from straight up to flat out by pushing a button. Our black tank is 35 gallons which is about the largest we could find on a small rig.
All that said, a little extra room for camping a week at a time would be nice, but we just don't think it is necessary. We came from a couple of decades in the Land of B Class and so this thing seems huge. It is all perspective and how you are going to use the rig. Our separate reclining chair give us plenty of seating options for reading, relaxing, eating or watching TV. Putting up the table for eating takes less than two minutes. We would love to have a dinette but no room in the inn. Besides, we eat mostly outside anyway. That is why we are in the woods and great outdoors....enjoy.
Parking wise, we can park about anywhere the FexEx or UPS can park one of their Sprinters (our PC is on a Ford) and driving and turning radius wise on the 350 chassis is a breeze. We are very pleased.
We travel only as a couple with our doggie. If we had a 40 foot DP it would be the same, so each RVer has to own 2 or 3 rigs to find most exactly what they want. By then, you are older and your lifestyle and camping style changes!
That is a good thing. You get to do 'er all over again and have new experiences!!! That way we don't set home and become old goats and goatesses like lots of our friends have chosen to do when health problems are not a concern to them.
Thirty-three years of monkeying with motor homes and camper vans and we still enjoy them!!
