Like many various product life cycles, motor homes migrate over time.
I know Phoenix Cruisers were originally class "B" motor homes around year 1999. To keep up with the market trend at the time, they migrated into the skinny B+ market to provide more comfort & practicality with a wider width and some additional length, marketed as a "B" alternative. As time passed, that concept continued with longer and longer models. Since 2004 (maybe even further back), the PC line up is the exact same motor home structure made at different lengths, now from 21'-7" to 30'-10". I don't know what happened to their shortest 2100 model but not long ago it used to be made 5" shorter.
As far as the Sprinter versus the Ford-E350 & Chevy-3500, I wonder like Burlmart, scratching my head why the Sprinter diesel has taken such a huge lead. I always felt the Chevy 3500 was the clear winner. But then...unlike the masses, I feel slide outs are a bad idea, so I surely don't know what the heck I am talking about. :)
Happy New Year To All!!!
