Any suggestions for new owners? How is your prism on long trips?
Do you tow a vehicle behind?

I just perched a new one , however its to soon to make any comments on it yet. Have had it for just two weeks, Going back to the dealer today for my hit list fixes. Was not too impressed with the dealer prep and too many missing screws in the coach. All that I can say is the Prism drives/handles well . The trip home was 150 miles on US 4 in fl. Was impressed with the 3.0 MB diesel.

Hi, we did a 5 week road trip from Pgh Pa to Key West. Pleased with the prism performance. I drove it 3 hours! It was quite easy to handle...l passed cars and a few trucks but didn't park in a campground space.
We had plenty of packing space. Stopped for diesel every 275 miles.

We're new owners of a 2011 Prism. We took it to Florida for its maiden voyage and to begin to figure out what all the features, buttons, etc. were and how various parts worked. So far we're quite pleased. However I do wish it had come with a more thorough manual, more specific with pictures of where things are. For instance, where is the drain for the fresh water tank? I'll figure it out eventually but it out to be easier! We've put about 5,000 miles on the camper and are pleased with almost 15 MPG. The diesel (our first) hums along nicely.

Open up the back hatch on the aft storage locker. Looking straight in on the back wall you will see a round screw in port about six to five inches in dia. Unscrew the port and reach in. you will feel three valves one drains the water heater , water lines and one the fresh water tank.

Will be leaving Florida June 12th for Alaska . So far Wife and I love the 220 Prism. We are getting 14 MPG with only 1800 miles on it.
