Designer 35RLTS and Jayco Talk...Thanks Frank!!

yeah, I can trim the sides that overhang the base to accomodate a 60x80 queen. As for the length, you may be right on that, but thats ok. I wont cut anything until i have the new mattress in place for measurement.

I'm not sure your bed will end up being that short. Are you going to cut the excess wood off the base?

I am going to have to replace the mattress on our bed. It is absolutely miserable to sleep in. I am going back with a standard, spring mattress with a pillowtop. Also, going to change size from a king to a queen. That way, we will be able to walk around the side of the bed to make it up!! I also should be able to disable the mechanism that makes the bed rise up with the slide. No need for that if the bed is shorter, I hope?

If you look at the very front of mine you can see where the dryer vent is located.

Thanks to all for your information on my questions. I have been lurking around here for a few months reading up on all of the issues with the 35 RLTS. I have to say, so far our problems have only been very minor ones. We had some windows leaking the very day after we took delivery. I am working in Georgia nad we bought from a dealer in Ashland, Ky. Of coarse there is not a dealer close by so I called Jayco. They told me to check the drains on the windows as they sometimes have excess sealant plug the holes. Sure enough. Next we had a small water leak under the kitchen sink and one behind the toilet. 1/4 turn of the fittings and that was fixed. We replaced the vents as suggested on here. That was a huge difference....thanks for that one. Our shower hose broke while DW was bathing the dog. What a mess. trip to Lowes to get a better quality hose and that was fixed. Other than that, we have not had any other issues. I sure wish we had ordered it with Fan in kitchen and washer dryer, but I am doing those myself. Maybe sometime soon I can post a few pics.
Thanks again........

I almost forgot my second question. We did not get the fantastic fan in the kitchen ( bad move ) I am going to add a remote controlled Maxx fan. I have already checked and there is some wiring up there. Does anyone know if it is hot or do I need to connect it somewhere and is it switched?
Thanks again,

If you are looking at the vent there in the kitchen area, then yes those wires are for a fan. They are 12v and they are probably already hot. Check the main fuse panel and remove the associated fuse before installing.

As for yous washer/dryer, the reason I did not install this one myself is because of the location of it. That thing is heavy and it will not be easy getting it in place. I let my dealer do it so if there was a scratch on the wood, etc, it was on them and not me!

It is the first issue with the valve. Looking at the valve, it looks pretty simple, so don't know what went wrong.

Have you had any problems with water pressure when hooked to city water? Like good pressure at hose, but not inside? Have had it where we couldn't run a pressure reducing valve even though good pressure with it installed at hose end, but not much pressure inside. Changed valves, but no difference.

Great service, I too feel that I would get that kind of service from my selling dealer. I have a phantom issue with my mixing valve, but I can deal with it. One time I had hot water come out from the cold water tap. I think we had a pressure surge, then after the surge the supply dropped. With much more pressure in the water heater it popped the mixing valve the other direction and gave me hot for a short period. That can really make you think you're crazy when you can't replicate it 2 seconds later.

Is this the first issue you've had with it you mixing valve?

We are set-up in the outskirts of Asheville, NC for a period of time now. After setting up last week, we noticed that the hot water was coming out as warm water not hot. Could take a shower with only hot water turned on, no cold. Called our selling dealer in Knoxville, TN and talked to service department who said it was probably the mixing valve as they had saw this problem before. I called Jayco to get approved to use a mobile tech, but customer service said it would be a day or 2 before anyone could call me back unless it was an emergency. Called our dealer back, and the owner said he would send a replacement valve next day delivery, for me to call a mobile tech, and send him the bill. Valve arrived next day, had tech install, and have "hot" water again. Jayco did call back the next day, and approved a mobile tech too.

I want to give a thanks to Campers Corner in Knoxville, TN for their outstanding customer service in my opinion. The owner Buzz and service manager Darren were able to take care of our problem in short order, and 1 1/2 years after the sale. If anyone is in the area and needs some service, I highly reccommend them. And not a bad place to buy a camper either.
