Yes, the current day Phoenix model 2350 has reduced outdoor storage. My older 2007 has a very big outdoor compartment. It was later compromised when the company improved the center of gravity by moving the fresh water tank forward & rotated 90 degrees. Compounding the losses was when the company increased the size of the slide out to include the fridge. It forced the furnace into the outdoor storage compartment as well.
I do wonder if the stretched 2350 called a 2450 made with the longer bed, if the outdoor storage could be reclaimed. Also if ordering the rig without the slide out, I'd request the furnace be placed back where it is on my older 2007 model. That would make for a massive outdoor storage compartment, bigger than my big one. I believe the company would fulfill such a request at no additional charge.
If I ordered a 2450 today, I'd try my best to get maximum outdoor storage and a larger bathroom from the extra length.
