They are showing a 2004 PC on their website. Since PC sells factory direct, it can be a problem to find one to look at to see how you like the general design. 2004 is several years ago but you will find the overall body and models to be pretty similar from year to year and give you an idea.
There were many significant changes made since Phoenix's introduction in 1999 through mid-year 2004. Some current-day features might be in a 2003, some may not, from a dry bath, to the superb quality entry door with hide-a-screen door. Kicking the tires on a mid-year 2004 will surely provide a good idea on the quality of a current-day unit. If you hate a mid-year 2004, stop right there and move on to other brands. If on the fence about it, I advise to find the right floor plan and repeat the process.
Of coarse, some depressing influences will be due to the lack of proper maintenance and housekeeping. You have to see and smell past all that. Dog and cat owners love to bring their four-legged family along which can be an issue for others who get broad-sided from a rig not well cleaned from it all. The same goes with smokers.
