Under the Jayco, what are the two water lines for? On my Jayco, water comes out of them sometimes 22:52

Tank drain / overflow

[@erialdameron4193]

Super curious if you could take out the dinette all together! 🤔 Is the water storage underneath?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Dinette could be removed. Nothing below it. Most campers today have the holding tanks mounted under the flooring

[@waynemessersmith4402]

I like the laminated exterior, just have delamination fears, seen too many old trailers, i am sure they have come a long way by now, also they put the black detail stripe on the bedroom door, did they forget the main entry door?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Would need to double check but it’s possible it was overlooked. Good eye! Sometimes I miss things like that when all I see it a little 2” viewfinder :)

He have a deposit on the fiberglass unit. Does it give any increased thermal performance vs a standard stick and tin?? I’m dying to know for the Arizona dry and 30 degree winter nights.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

No, not really. But with less surface area it may actually have a reduced capacity for soaking heat from the sun

[@tallcedars2310]

Nice travel trailer but then I'm biased towards Jayco:) Have been thinking about how I would like the bedroom tv to be stationed out of the way and easily maneauvered for non-breakneck positioning. Fwiw, off the cuff all I can think of is a ceiling mounted tv that levers down to the foot of the bed.

Not sure when. Jayco paused production of a ton of models that aren’t yet back to active status. I think that’s one So I can tell you we have them coming. But I don’t know when

[@stevenkaskus6173]

I want only a queen for two reasons. Need the walk around space and my existing sheet sets , blankets etc... All would fit since I have a queen bed at home. I most likely would need to buy a after mkt mattress since I have really bad physical issues.

Love the fibre skin! Never cared for cooking close to the camper, which would inevitably make it dirty with grease. Would the passthrough doors interfere with sideview cameras if so equipped?

[@nicholasgrosz1587]

Wandering if a max tow f150 could tow this safely. It’s the 3.5 eco, with the 6.5 foot bed. It also has airbags. The truck says it can but will it be safe?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Man this is the kind of question that gets the tow police all fired up lol. There's a few add'l specs we'd need on your truck to know with 100% certainty. I can tell you that I've seen people do it and say "man it's great. no problems" and I've seen just as many people say "we tried it but it didn't feel comfortable." And I think *THAT* is the defining factor. Chances are all the numbers/math will indicate a _safe_ pairing but that doesn't mean a _comfortable_ pairing A lot of things like your towing experience and/or where/how often you're towing may become factors. There are also plenty of companies with a similar layout that will come in less weight as well. Though naturally there will be reasons for it like a shorter ceiling or less equipment overall

[@nicholasgrosz1587]

Thank you sir

[@Metal_Stacking]

Yes it can as long as your wdh is set up properly. I know from pulling mine with the same truck (1730lbs payload). Pay attention to payload on door sticker and load accordingly. Always set wdh after you inflate bags. I do not run air bags as after hitch is set the truck is level and trailer has a very minor forward pitch. This trailer with dual ac fiberflight tongue weight came in at 930lbs with propane and battery. When loading trailer you can easily go up to 1100 lbs tongue weight and I would not recommend towing it with the f150 at that point so you really need to load it accordingly. Before each trip after loading I check the tongue weight adjust load if needed to stay under 1k lbs tongue weight.

[@americanrambler4972]

What are the weight capacity of the standard steps vs the stability steps?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Stable steps are something like 400-600lbs. I don’t know the standard step weight ratings only that under my own weight they flex a lot

[@sassas5492]

The outside skin don't matter to me but I prefer fiberglass because it is more resistant to hail.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It definitely is

[@stevez340]

I love the darker decor! Also, the included ladder, TV and porcelain toilet is such a refreshing upgrade compared to the Cherokee product line😬😬😬

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Very nice Travel Trailer overall!👍👍👍👍 my only hiccup with that one Is the bathroom could use more footsie space!

[@chadhatfield2069]

I’ve got a Jay Flight 28BHS Thanks to you but I have the standard jackknife sofa. Can I order the Stacie Stewart theater seat w/ tray tables through you guys and have it shipped to me?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Possibly. I am not sure exactly how that works. Keep in mind a sofa comes via freight and not something like UPS That means shipping is far more expensive. You’re likely much better off visiting a local furniture store

[@chadhatfield2069]

I’d rather buy it through you and pay whatever it costs. I didn’t get to come out to Coldwater to buy my jay flight and I truly owe you for all of the knowledge you’ve shared over the years and pointing me to this camper.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@chadhatfield2069 Well I tell you what -- mind dropping us a quick review at www.haylettautoandrv.com/review-us/ in return for the assistance? Costs you nothing and we'd sure appreciate it!

[@hallraker79]

I've noticed this on other Jayco models, and the placement of the solar charge controller (or prep in this case) in the bedroom seems a bit strange. I know there are space considerations and everything has to end up somewhere, but I think I'd prefer to see it in the main living area. But I'm guessing they do that because it's a straight shot up onto the roof, and less wiring equals less complexity, and also lower cost. I've said this on other videos, but given the choice I'd take the queen over the king and keep the walk around space. But I'm even fine with a camp queen when that's the only option. Heck, I slept in a full bed until I was about 35, as a side sleeper it wasn't a big deal even at 6'4". I do like when manufacturers give us those options though, because everyone camps differently! Kind of a general question here, but you always say that Haylett options the larger AC unit. Is the cost not much higher, or do you feel the larger unit is needed, even in a Michigan camping climate? And yeah I think they did the best they did with the cooker hooker location. Team overshare unite! Always appreciate the time you take to read our comments and answer any questions! Thanks Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think your reasoning on the solar controller is probably spot on if I had to guess. They upgraded AC from the factory cost very little. To upgraded after the fact cost about 10 times more literally

[@hallraker79]

@@JoshtheRVNerd makes sense! After I wrote that comment, I was playing with the build options on a few trailers, and I was shocked at how little it was to upgrade the A/C. I'd go for it too!

[@Metal_Stacking]

@@hallraker79 I'm in the south have this camper upgraded ac 15k and 2nd unit in bedroom. The main ac after fixing the factory defect with a bunch of ac tape cools very well but on hot days (85 and up high humidity) the 2nd unit is definitely needed. As long as you ac tape the divider between intake and output and tape any gaps to duct system the 15k will definitely be efficient in northern climates.

Need to ask this; can you get the shower glass doors in just clear glass?

[@yitryu]

I'd like to see a side by side shot of them, but I prefer the fibreglass siding and the darker interior. The fibreglass just looks smoother. And you're right about the JPORT, would prefer to have one.

[@davefisher6968]

I like the dark decor with the fiberglass siding too, funny Jayco would build one way and one the other way.

[@Octavia680]

Are the bunk pads/mattress comfortable? Have people needed to add padding or replace them? How much can I expect to spend in upgrades after my RV purchase? 👉🏾Because, I'm poor af🤷🏾‍♀️

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That's a question with a very subjective answer so I think all I can offer is that Jayco offers about double the padding of most brands out there (though Rockwood does a good job too). A basic foam topper available nearly anywhere is inexpensive and easy to cut to size thankfully

[@goodgirlgonesouthsc4340]

[@Browniejb2009]

#LETSJAYCO These are both awesome. I prefer the brown on brown personally. I think both fiberglass and aluminum are sharp. Fiberglass is definitely better for us Iowans during the times of the year it hails though. If my money was on the line and I was planning on keeping it for 10-20 years I would want the peace of mind of the fiberglass. There are 2 things I would update here. I would add a pop-up counter extension in the kitchen. Also, I have seen other campers with small camp kitchens where the counter/sink is on slides to come out like a drawer. In its current configuration it is usable but a little inconvenient it seems. Handy tip: Keep that protective cover in the propane cooker hooker when not in use because nobody likes a dirty propanus.

Hey Josh, is it my imagination or are the ladder rungs too far apart? I think a small kid would have a problem getting to the top bunk.

So when I first read this I thought you were talking about the rear roof ladder lol I’ve seen plenty kids climb up and down those things. I think they do just fine

[@americanrambler4972]

I like the dinette with the free standing table you can move around to suit your preferences. You can turn it sideways for more belly expansion room. Not all of are skinny dudes. I also like the sliding bedroom door.it’s classier than a curtain and less space hogging than a swing door.

Hands down after viewing the intro shots I can say this is the one that I like everything about the position of the table and sofa and style of sofa and superior kitchen design and that bathroom is what I just wrote that I prefer the lower pan shower and this bathroom has it so I'll take this one plus the outside skin a plus for ease of care, longevity, impact resistant. I would like to see the interior you are referring to as the coastal cottage.

[@crazycritterlady8788]

Both are nice looking but u prefer the the fiberglass, and the brown on brown. Lots of solar, the larger propane tanks, the make me happy wall hugging theater seats, and the camp kitchen with the griddle! Even without kids guests can use the bunks instead of dropping the table down. Great idea those swivel tablettes on the theater seats! The DC compressor fridge is always a great thing. The kitch drawers are awesome. So what's not to like? The funky steps on the bed side give me those stable steps there also. And I leave the mates it's got to be good for at least a camping trip or 2 before getting another mattress to plop on top of it or vise versa I like my bed comfy and thick. I'd also put a latch lock on the door of the bedroom.

[@rosemarydoran9907]

I would definitely go with the farmhouse decor and love a fiberglass exterior. I live in the Midwest and itbgets its fair share of hail. Love the theater seating and the ability to flip up the lower bunk and use it for storage. I have no kiddos so I see that area as a pet containment zone with the addition of a gate to block the opening. Two large beds plus toys and blankets or a couple of crates could fit in there nicely. The top bunk would be additional storage if I was a full-timer (can you say Costco haul?). Oh and I would worship the standard queen bed. I would replace it with something decent. Not sure about the grill placement question.i bIbget the safety aspect.
