My wife and I have ordered a 2552, which we expect to receive in April. We're both retired, and after spending ten years traveling overseas, have decided to upsize from a Lance camper to the PC and start traveling in North America again. Since we have no children/grandchildren to consider, we were able to configure our Cruiser to meet our needs alone. We took the Lance camper on a 3-month trip to Canada and Alaska in 2007 and had no problems living in that confined space, so expect to enjoy the larger size of the 2552. On our ordering trip to Elkhart, we worked with Earl to create our "own" PC. Here's what we hope to see in April:
-- No slide. Earl showed us a 32" dinette being built in another coach, which will only fit the two of us.
-- Without the slide, the driver's side bed will be lengthened and a pocket door installed.
-- Insulated glass, window tint, full body paint (toast), desert sand interior, cherry cabinets, wood floor, Eurochair
-- JBL sound system and surround sound with DVD player
-- Dash Pioneer system without navigation
-- Undercoating, integrated brake controller
-- 17-foot electric awning
-- MagneShades
-- Premium convenience package
-- 6-way power seat Driver’s side only
-- HWH leveling jacks
-- Mirror with compass and outside temp
-- 2 solar panels
-- 50-amp electrical service with additional AC unit
-- Moved the vent/fan from the bedroom to the bathroom, added Ultra Breeze cover
-- Upgraded the front AC unit to 15K with heat pump
-- Added second Fantastic fan in the living room, upgraded to 7500 series with remote control
-- Real leather Eurochair and dinette seats
-- Surge protector -- Progressive Dynamics 9260
-- Side cameras and second rear camera (one for close-up and one for distance)
-- Porch lights on rear cap and drivers side (switches by entry door)
-- Trimetic battery monitor
-- Extra 110 outlet and 12-volt outlet over kitchen sink between the light and outside wall
-- 12-volt outlet next to the 110 outlet at dinette
-- 110 and 12-volt outlets under the overhead cabinets at the head of both beds
-- Drawer in the rear dinette bench
-- Door in the front dinette bench
-- Reversed hinge on driver's side shirt closet
-- Adjustable shelves in both shirt closets
-- Shelves over the head of both beds (15 inches wide x 8 inches deep with 1 “ lip)
-- No headboards
-- Corian on countertop extension
-- Backer board 6 inches wide all the way across the rear wall trunk
We are planning a 5-month trip to Canada and Alaska this summer, so are excited to be able to drive our new Phoenix Cruiser.
