I second the question.  Who uses a cover and what kind can you recommend?

Well said Ron!

I started with a 2100.  It did fine but I found that big rigs blowing by me on the interstate tended to push me around a bit.  I added the safetyplus as a safety feature in case of a tire blow out. ( Check out the safety plus web site and demonstration videos. )  I added helwig rear stabilizer and helper springs to reduce lean and improve on exit and entrance ramps.  All made it more fun, easier and safer to drive.  I now have a 2552 and like the 2100 it does fine.  After two years I added the safety plus, makes it safer and easier to drive.  I don't get pushed around as much by the big rigs because I am bigger.   I have also added the mobil-eye, acts as my co-pilot if I get too close to the vehicle in front of me or if I wander in my lane.  Makes me a safer driver with less fatigue just like the safety plus and any suspension improvements.  Be safe and enjoy your journey.  If any of you all have not heard of the mobile eye, ask Kyle at the factory.  PS The manga shades are a great addition to and easy to put on and take off.  Wishing you All the best,  Steve Bowser

Hitch,
Don't despair.  Go to the camp ground during the rally time if you can and I am sure Phoenix owners will be pleased to show their units and talk with you.  I attended the 2016 event as a club member.  I am not attending this year but plan to next year.  Try again to contact the club.  The factory can probably give you contact information as they provide a one year membership to each new owner.
Good luck, Steve

I saw a 2001 at the factory this morning with over 150,000 miles on the odometer.  Probably a trade in.

The replacement had more sun screening at top than the original, therefore less sun glare.

We are Planning on going.  We would like to follow the Lewis and Clark route from St Louis.  Lots to see in the west.  Grand circle of national parks in and around Utah, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacer, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and the Bad Lands should not be missed.  Can't do it in one trip.  This will be our forth.  Enjoy!

Hi Ammie,
I got an email from you and tried to respond, since you have a 2100 too you might want to comment to the same person with your thoughts.  I don't do well with anything but email.  Any tips on using this form?  Thanks and best regards,  2travel

Do you rotate your PC tires?  If so what pattern and how often?  Thanks, Steve
 

I have had a windshield replaced on both E350 and E450.  No problem with either.  Be sure to get the glare shield at the top edge, after market wind shield is better than the original.

My 2 cents: E 450 is what you need for the length and weight of a 2551 or greater.  If you could do a side by side test I think you would appreciate the ride and handling of the heavier/stronger/more rigid frame.  I know I do.

Had a 2100 and added the  safety plus.  Now have a 2552, two years old and feel no need for the safety plus even after driving from Nashville through the Utah national parks last year.  That said, there is nothing like peace of mind for blow outs.  After I get some wear on the suspension I will likely add a safety plus.  Happy driving to you.

I don't know if it was memory foam.  We would say it was firm but not hard, like high quality furniture cushioning.  Hope yours works as well.  My guess is if you let Kermit know what you like and don't like, he will find the solution for you. Steve

To Ron and others,  I will measure my dinette and let you know. But, I will not be able to bo that until  March, sorry to slow the discussion down.  Best Regards to all,  Steve

Jim,
 
Both the 2552 and the 2100 have the dinette.  The dinette in the 2552 is in the slide out instead of a couch.  Any other questions?
Steve
