The Phoenix TRX motorhome is designed to have a small footprint that makes it easy to drive around town as well as comfortable to drive on the highways. Built on an AWD Ford Transit Chassis, this Class B+ motorhome is loaded with extras from Ford. In fact, Phoenix orders its chassis with every available option.
In the video below, we get a quick tour from the team from Phoenix’s D&H RV & Marine of this high-end motorhome. They claim the Phoenix TRX 1563 motorhome will get about 11 mpg on average.
While the video does not go into great detail, it will provide a quick overview of some of the nicer features of this motorhome. You can get more details and check out the floor plan here.
I was impressed with how well-built the coach appeared. Inside, you’ll find solid wood cabinetry, solid surface countertops, and high-quality leather furniture.
The bathroom features a macerator toilet that makes dumping easier and more manageable. (To be honest, I have never found this job a big deal even without a macerator toilet, but OK, supposedly this makes it easier.)

If they had gone with a cassette toilet, then they could have bigger fresh and gray tanks. At this price point an advanced electrical system, upgraded suspension, and a quiet A/C (Truma, Houghten or 12 volt) should be part of the package.
What’s not to like? ….How about the PRICE?
Price is relative and it is in line with other similar RVs.
It’s still a lot of money for something so small. Better off with a truck and TT which would save you thousands.
3000 towed weight is deal killer. Subtract 10% as a safety margin and you will be limited to very little selection for tow vehicle. Smart Car, Honda Fit, Tracker.
It’s 23’ long. It IS a tow vehicle.
