General Discussion / TPMS Tire Pressure System

« Last post by BLRiley on January 13, 2026, 10:15:13 am »

Hello. We are the proud owners of a “new to us” 2014 PC 2552. This is our first post on the forum and I’m looking for advice.
We are about to purchase a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. We chose the TST brand with our previous towable and were very happy with that brand.
My question is, do we want the “flow through” sensors or are the standard sensors the way to go?
It appears the price is about the same.
Thank you and so impressed with this forum!

General Discussion / Snap on covers for the Ramco mirrors

« Last post by Amsoilman on December 05, 2025, 10:04:18 am »

I have a 2016, 3100, and my grandson took a chip out of my mirror housing. Just the white plastic. Has anyone found a snap on cover as I don’t want to replace the entire mirror. I called Ramco and they said they don’t have it, but he believes someone makes them. My Google search turned up nothing. Thanks in advance anybody that can help

The more I search the more I think it’s regional.  I’ve physically checked local Sam’s clubs and they don’t carry them or offer to order them. Could be some other areas in my state do but I’m not driving hundreds of miles looking for batteries

My experience with the battery box compartment is gained from having issues with two Cruisers.  The battery compartments trays are not positioned low enough and the drawer slides are too feeble.  Why those considerations were incorporated in the original design is anybody's guess.  Leaving the compartment open to debris further suggests there wasn't much design effort.
I modified the battery compartment height on the first cruiser to provide adequate clearance for the battery posts.  I lowered the tray to allow 6v Marine batteries.
The second, which is my current PC, needs battery compartment attention to replace the drawer slides.  I am going to lower the tray and install new drawer slides.   The prior owner had installed 12v batteries to solve the clearance problem.  The tray slides bind.  When forced open with the amount of extreme effort necessary, expelling the tray is a frequent hazard.   The stops are broken and unrepairable. 
There is an alternative offered by their successor that I think Phoenix Cruiser should consider

Tin, on my 2552, I pulled my tray, flattened the front lip to give me the needed length, removed the hasps,(no longer needed), swapped out my rails to a set with 500 lb capacity and lowered them as far as they could be installed. This gave me  just over 11” of clearance in height and plenty of length.  The two slots where the hasps used to grasp are perfect for an adjustable tarp strap, (Home Depot), that holds the tray solid. The 500 lb rated sliders run smooth as glass.

Thanks Ron; your original tray is the same as ours.  Your pictures are helpful.

I’ve looked at the GC 2’s at Sam's.  Looks to me it requires a modification to the battery tray to fit the 2552.  Don’t know how difficult that is.

Our 2007 PC battery compartment was the first year of two batteries in a slide-out tray on the passenger side mounted below floor level.  I believe it is the same as all subsequent PCs with 12V batteries in a slide-out tray.

Some time over the years, Phoenix changed from two 12V batteries wired-parallel, to two 6V batteries wired-series, but I don't know if 6V batteries are still installed in new PCs today.  Phoenix might have switched back to two 12Vs.... though I could not imagine the logic behind doing so.

Anyway, because 6V batteries are taller than 12Vs, I had to replace the slide-out battery tray with a steel stock plate to gain the extra height required.  The plate I had around the house has a few bends in just the right places for the application.  I cradled the batteries on the plate as shown by CLICKING HERE.

Because I deleted the slide-out tray, I went with sealed AGM batteries as they require zero maintenance.  I arranged the batteries with + and - terminals placed properly for ease of external charging and jumping which also works well with a kill-all disconnect switch that I added more recently.

For reference, CLICK HERE to see pictures of my original 12V batteries in the original slide-out tray.  This photo album was made to show how I added a protective splash shield for the batteries from the rear tires.  I don't know how Phoenix is protecting the batteries from the rear tires today, if they have since done so.
