Our New RV! | 2021 JAYCO 280RSOK Eagle HT Travel Trailer Walkthrough

[@PoshcatsCamping]

That is a beautiful rig, congratulations and we hope you have many years of adventures on board. To improve your media system door you could remove the hinges and have magnetic catches so that you take the whole cover off when you use it and when you finish, just snap the cover (door) back in place. Love the clock mount 🤪 haha. Really enjoyed the tour, thanks for showing us around. 👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue

[@jesserevilla992]

AlliChuck Congratulations 🍾 thats how VIP'S roll 🏁. Absolutely sleek and timeless look on the front cap. Notice the clear white led's inside coach are properly done, very upscale style. Love the automation from the App. Basically you can full time with a coach like this. Oh and love the 12V fridge; You can keep it on while towing. Very little draw. Just don't keep anything that can bounce hard and crack you insert glass shelves. Great biblical name 🌅

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

Full time is something we keep toying with in the next few years or maybe just going out for 2-3 months at a time even. Keeping our homebase. Aquila just was perfect! Love that it has Greek Myth and Biblical roots too! 😀

[@jesserevilla992]

@@AlliChuckAdventures Understand and yes name hits Greek gods and Biblically powerful. Enjoy

[@jesserevilla992]

Keep in mind, if your lot is large enough. Your home can always become a rental; But the idea you can park back up onto your property when ever you please is Key inside your lease agreement. Gets better if your lot is large enough to hold a secondary 5th Wheel or say a large Towable. That becomes your home while the Jayco is strictly for the road. Meanwhile the home is making you extra $ every month.

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

@@jesserevilla992 I actually thought about that. If we could rent and still be able to park here and live too. Great ideas to look into. Thanks!

@@AlliChuckAdventures This trailer really comes into it`s own when you stay in an area for a few days it`s like you took home with you lol. So many questions for you. Like did it tow like you expected and did not the truck handle it like a boss? How did the hitch workout? Might make for a video for folks that step up in size and weight.

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

@@captainmc0685 yeah so far so good on everything towing wise. I will update these things as we go forward for sure. I wanna see how much of any issues I have getting into tight state park sites too.

[@captainmc0685]

@@AlliChuckAdventures I have had a time at one state park so far it was not a good angle no matter what is did. Walkie talkies and instructing the wife to say drivers side and passenger side along with taking my time; rear camera helped also, we made it lol. I am sure you will be fine just try to never get in a hurry. looking at your trailer specs you are 2 feet longer and about 200 pounds heavier on the dry weights.

I want to add an option for washing clothes. I live in an apartment, and have a full size washer & dryer. However, I’ve become accustomed to using a laundromat each week. I can do several loads of wash at once, and then dry the loads in separate dryers. In and out in just about an hour. When I was living in Europe wash/dry took hours! Hours! Small units and much longer cycles. I’m wondering if I should sell /donate my units. However, I’m enjoying using a local laundromat. What do others do? Am I alone with this thinking?

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

I’m not sure! We may end up getting a combo one for the new Rv once we hit the road for either full time or longer extended trips !

[@WanderingWagners]

Even not being full time we highly recommend the washer/dryer. We can't NOT have one now!
