General Discussion / Re: The ‘KEY’

Awesome find. I wish i had found a key like that when i got mine that the previous owner left behind. At least i got the factory manual that PC put together with all the parts manuals in it. Now i feel i have to dig through every folder in that book better and look for my key.

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??

General Discussion / Step stabilizer

« Last post by wideglide on September 08, 2026, 12:47:27 pm »

Do any of you use step stabilizers like the Lippert one shown below in the 2nd pic and if so do you love it?  I bought the cheaper ones shown in the 1st pic and they do work but i dont love having to screw them in and out everytime especially in the heat and they take up valuable storage room when moving to and from the destination. The lippert mount to the bottom step and seem to tuck up nicely when retracted. Any opinions are welcomed good or bad. IM a bigger guy and like something to support my weight when going in and out of the RV plus i think it will reduce the fatigue on the steps.

Here is also a youtube vid of the lippert in action.

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

Thanks Larry, I believe I have worked it out for now, will disconnect for now but leave in place and when I visit The Phoenix USA factory in October I'll review the system with them.

General Discussion / Re: Dinette table options for 2552

If you get any feedback from Phoenix, please post it here. We would also be interested in some kind of a table that would fit for the lounge chairs in the 2552. There used to be something to use as a table because there is storage for one in the closet. For now we are using a 2X4 foot folding table but it will not fit in the closet so it has to store in the rear hatch.

Ron, I have ruled out the element.  Like you said it has a plastic end which could be suspect. Fortunately it’s relatively easy to access and appears intact, additionally the area of the electrode is dry. Thanks for the follow up. Bob

Bob, I am glad that you checked it out.  It is unfortunate that the 120V element was not the source of the leak.  Thanks for letting me know.

Disclaimer, I've never seen one of these, but a quick search in Google offers this advice for the beeping...



Common Causes and Fixes

Low Starting Battery:
Your chassis battery voltage may have dropped below the warning threshold (typically under 11.9V), signaling that it is heavily discharged or failing.

Loose or Corroded Connections: Dirt, corrosion, or loose ring terminals on the house, chassis, or ground wires can interrupt the charging flow and trigger a false or low-voltage alarm.

House Charger Failure: If your shore power converter or solar setup is not actively charging the house bank, the system cannot maintain the starting battery.

I see that it has some indicator lights. Which ones are on?

General Discussion / Trix - L - Start

« Last post by CapeCodPC on August 29, 2026, 11:36:22 am »

New owner here.
We have a 2021 2351 D that has a Trix - l - start unit in the engine compartment. This unit started beeping whenever we start the engine and continues beeeping even After the camper is shut off. I can reset this by disconnecting the battery but will start again as soon as we used the unit. I have taken it in for service and have been told I need a new battery (which I expected) the service department has told me that they are recommending that I disconnect the Trix - l start unit that is serving no purpose but to drain the battery.
Any information on this subject will be appreciated.
