Did you get this solved? I have a 2351 with two factory installed, adjustable shelves in the shirt closet at the foot of the bed.

Congrats on your sightseeing trip!

+1 for the Borg solid stems. I upgraded at the time I recently upgraded to new Alcoas and Michelins.

+1 for the pen and notepad. I personally don’t use one, instead just adding a note to my ‘Phoenix Cruiser’ notepad kept on my IPhone.


-1 on the rough washboard roads. I, too, travelled off highway down a washboard road (6.25 miles in, 6.25 miles out) at 5mph or less. Tool 55 minutes each way. In the end, it cost me a battery tray. 140lbs of VMax batteries didn’t play well with the cheesy tray slides. I’ve rebuilt it with next size up, 200lb capacity drawer slides. With that said, I have no interest in off highway camping with my PC ever again.

Buy genuine Thetford for the best quality!!

I bought the one from Amazon that was sold by United RV. It was 10$ less on Amazon vs at United RV’s website.

My Cruiser is a 2016, and I can see by the date sticker on the currently installed macerator hose that it is newer than my rig, so must have been replaced once already by the previous owner? I bought the genuine Thetford kit from United RV for a spare, and I store it inside the spare tire cover on the rear cap

Thanks All!
I’m
Going to give this whole valve system a closer look today

I recall there being a Valterra slide valve with the standard travel cap that is forward of the Sanicon sump box. The cap faces the  driver side (left) as you would want it to at a standard dumping station.

I also kinda recall two pull handles on the two individual grey/black tanks  under there.  These were ones that had the wiring for the Barker auto drain motors? I dont recall any locking/pull pins but will double check.

I have purchased a spare genuine Thetford Sanicon hose, for the instance that the (already replaced since new) current o e springs a leak. I don’t have a 4”? Gravity drain hose and attachments though. I prefer the standard gravity drain since there a fewer moving parts to fail.

I assume that the aforementioned, left facing Valterra slide valve with Travel cap is the gravity dump connection. Underneath the cap it appears as clean as new, like it has never been used. Nevertheless I will lay under there again and stare at the plumbing again to see if I can get a better understanding, in the event the electric Sanicon pump fails.

Thanks again

How do you gravity dump, in the event that the Sanicon system fails, or the Barker auto drain valves?

Thank you for confirming that this data KEY is an original PC piece.

I kind of wondered if it was OG Phoenix or not. What lead me to believe that it was, was that the write dates of each of the video files (for 2016 model year) were before this PC was built & sold.
Guess it doesn’t mean that it came from PhoenixUSA though.

I don’t have a way to play mp4 files or I would view all of them. There are two titles I would check straightaway though, one how to control fan speed through the wall mounted thermostat, and the other is how to operate the surround sound feature.

Found this while detailing my interior. Plugged it into my Dinosaur of a laptop and found that it is loaded with how to videos from Phoenix, year 2016. Some even seem to be videos that aren’t on the PhoenixUSA YT channel.
Anybody else, especially original buyers/owners, get one with their Cruiser??

I cannot seem to attach a picture from my iPhone, even when file size has been compressed to below 240kb  :-(

Thank you for the info. Mine is a bit different from the one shown in the video, but there are variances of anything found in life.

I will have to see if it changes color when the hot water flows! I’ve seen a purple-ish color similar to the exterior door handle, so far.

General Discussion / Bathroom sink with illuminated water stream
« on: August 16, 2026, 08:36:15 pm »
Does anybody else have this? I am assuming so.

In the darkness, when I turn on the faucet at the bathroom sink, the stream of water illuminates. Like a fiber optic! It’s kind of neat.

My curiosity wondered how this is done, but when I look under the sink via the tiny cabinet door underneath, I don’t see any electrical to the faucet….i dont see a LED either, as there is a ring at the tip of the faucet that lights up too.

Anybody else notice this on theirs? How’s it done (just to quell my curiosity)?

I do t know where to look as I am not well versed in all of the models.

The subwoofer in my rig, is indeed located under the bed, just forward of those foil furnace duct tubes. It stands vertically.

I have that exact model. I haven’t used it yet, but it is mounted in the exact position you mentioned, by a previous owner.

I have a feeling that all of its parameters reset once you turn off the batteries though. I think you start with full batteries then set the capacity of the batteries as full, then the meter and shunt keep track from there.

Someday soon when I retire I won’t need to shut the batteries off  and I will learn from there.

Do the PC rallies still take place? If so, when/where?
