having a hard time finding lots of pics with dinettes. Here are some pictures of our 2350 dinette without a slideout. Being that or rig is a 2007 model, the table legs are the old design. The new design has the table attached to the wall and one leg at the opposite end. I think the table top pivots down to the "Bed" position by simply flipping up and locking the leg under the table, then the table drops down. Hopefully someone with the new design will clarify with pictures. I would like to see how it works myself. In our pictures, you see the framing is finished in cloth but the cushions are leather. This is because we originally had cloth cushions. The new dark green cushions are much more comfortable as they have more dense foam and are thinner, providing better support and more room to boot.     For the 2350, the dinette inside a slideout is significantly smaller and tighter with less leg room, less head room, and a smaller table. |

Ron, I don't think I caught any pictures before of the new dinette seating. I love the contrast in texture and pattern/color. Great job!

Made a decision, ordered the 2350 sprinter with no slide, yeah. A few changes though, Blu Ray player surround sound, 3 way fridge that is stainless steel, fantastic fan in bath, 2 fantastic vent covers, adjustable shelves in closet that can be removed, sprayer in toilet, window awning over dinette, and in dash GPS Rand McNally with back up monitor & CD, I think thats it. Can't wait we are so excited! Steve & Aleece  |

Congrats to you both  !! Our first PC in 2010 was a 2350 Sprinter(no slide) We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Our lifestyle changed a little and we decided that we wanted to become sunbirds and leave FL for 3 or so monthes in the summer so we went with a 2011 2551; now we have a 2013 2910, which we love! Safe travels. Judi |

adjustable shelves in closet that can be removed...Steve & Aleece Very nice deviations, all of them. Since you are adding removable shelves, I would consider the same for the shirt closet, the smaller hanging cabinet, just to the right of the microwave oven. I added a fixed shelf there. Maybe two adjustable shelves would be better. Also ask where the subwoofer will be mounted. I requested it go in the front most dinette bench seat and it does make most sense to put it there. Back in 2007, they placed it under the main bed where precious outdoor storage is compromised, and it's best far away from the bed when one is napping while the other is watching TV. I also highly recommend the thermal windows. I do wonder of the value of the roof antenna. If doing it over, I would request NOT to have one. With digital, it's good only if the rig stays put. It's a science project to figure out where to point it and then scan for channels, repeating the process until we give up and throw in a movie. On The Go TV is best for DVD/BlueRay movies. If you have money to burn, get a tracking satelite dish system though some people are disappointed in them too. Broadcast TV is great at private campgrounds with Cable TV service. Our rooftop antenna is nothing but an ugly roof ornament that put many holes and piles of caulk in the aerodynamic cap where it is mounted. And it rattled a lot until I felt padded it in many places. That large roof top space would be better utilized for a solar panel. Congratulations! |

I have to agree with Ron. If I had my druthers, I'd choose to dispense with the roof antenna and ladder (I don't going up the anyway). I do like the slide though.
Other than that, sounds like you've got it wired (pun intended).
Enjoy in good health and maybe we'll see you on the road.

Pictures of the dinette in the 2350 slideout would be of value to those considering it. Maybe Earl will get some posted next rig coming off the line that way. Regarding our interior color scheme....It just sort-of happened that way. We liked the green interior but not dark green captian seats for fear they would clash with the gray exterior. Later we replaced the green barrel chair with the captain seat but went gray to match the other two. Then this past winter we switched the dinette cushions from cloth to leather. They ran out of original 2007 gray so green was an alternate. The cloth dinette trim (same as the original cushions) also matches the valances throughout so it's not out of place. There is even some dark green vinyl in the valances which makes the dinette a perfect match. It seems the cloth trim would take a beating better than vinyl anyway. PS: I still have to get those galley drawers done before or first trip of the season. But still working crazy hours. I only need one good day to finish them. |

Oh Ron, B!tch, b!tch, b!tch. We leave for yet another western trip on the 25th. Grand-daughter is getting married. Grand-daughter is getting married? Ohmigosh. Am I really that old?
But, thank God, not too old to enjoy this lifestyle (pre-Cancer screening shows NO markers. Pretty good since I smoke like a chimney).
Another post talks about miles per gallon. I'm too embarrased to join that because we get a consistent 9.5 towing.
These rigs are great.
BTW, although I'm not a big fan of green, your Phoenix looks pretty good. Whoda thunk?
Lastly, I'm still waiting for pics of your new drawers (the ones in the Phoenix).
Lastly (again), we'll be passing through IL on 80 - how far are you from there?).
Lastly (finally), yes, I'm drinking again (hear that Jack?).

9.5 mpg with a 2552 towing is exceptional! The green interior was my wife's doing. I take no credit.....or responsibility for that matter. We are an hour north of I-80 Regarding my drawers (wood, not cloth) I got so close to completing the project before the OT kicked in...it figures....Bch, bch, bch  Enjoy your trip! |

Thanks.
Regarding the mileage, I believe smoothing the airflow behind the Phoenix has something to add that wouldn't necessarily happen if it was a regular cabover Class C. That and I drive pretty easy, seldom seeing more than 65.
Work the time while you can (and while you're healthy).
