Phoenix/Coyote RV?

[kjp1969]

Does anyone know anything about Phoenix and its Coyote popup camper?

I found this:
http://www.phoenixcampers.com/
and

Seems to be a one-man-shop picking up where his father, founder of Four Wheel Campers left off. He does lots of custom stuff, like Bronco campers, using old FWC plans, with updates. For example, he uses Filon for the siding, instead of aluminium. The frames are welded aluminum, like FWC.

I like the roof lift system and the under-bunk storage.

I haven't heard much about their products but I definitely like some of the features.

I think the website has changed since the last time I looked at it (a while ago). I can't seem to find any specific information on the phoenix campers. As I recall these were their higher end campers with the welded aluminum frame and the Coyote campers were the lower priced ones with a wood frame. I could be wrong.

Yes the owner is the son of the founder of FWC and the father is now the owner of Tiger Motorhomes.

Do your homework if you are considering a Phoenix. It seems that not all Phoenix campers are built alike. Search through RV.net and you will find some info. I have visited his factory and he seems like a good guy just from what I've seen in person on used campers was not impressive followed up by reading a good amount of negative posts on his quality and customer service.
