FINDING ONE

Patient search — weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Why: Phoenix USA is a small builder; 18-year production run. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

For years Phoenix's best seller - twin beds in 26ft4in. Superseded by the 2552, which is the same idea with 17 more inches. A 2010 'Super Slide' package (2551S) added an air bed and a bigger slide.
