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

Ok, got the new queen size mattress in, trimmed the platform, etc. It is nice but that new spring mattress weighs a TON compared to the cheapie that was on there. I now have to remember to lift the bed by hand before bringing in the slide. Motor is not strong enough to lift and slide at same time.

m go blue,

Glad you had a good outing. I find that the floor remains cold and the chair by the table by the door is the coldest place to sit. We're considering getting skirting as $$ allows.

Yes the floor did remain a bit cooler but the unit definitely held the heat great...thought about skirting but the only practical skirting right now for us would be if it was able to snapped into place around the outside bottom for us (i.e. easy on/easy off) as we travel we only tend too be in places about 2-3 days...then again your talking skirting for around the bottom and around the overhang in front and yes that will take $$$

CHV_FRK, I would check out the shackles while lifting suspension. Have saw where they can get elongated and then you have troubles. I hope to put a wet bolt kit on mine, which makes it where you can grease them. I saw where on the new Legacy, that is a standard, along with a bunch of other cool stuff.

Did a little work over the weekend. Got to clean awning, bad mildew. I also wired up the rear camera. I also stocked up the trailer.

Today after work, you know, while it was snowing!!!, I air pressure tested the water lines. I had blown the water lines out last season, but while letting out the pressure it seems I had a little more water left than I thought. I think I'll just do the antifreeze next year.

Also with the new dually and new hitch it seems my clearance to the bed rails is less so I dropped the pin. Now to try to get the suspension raised before we leave Saturday. Has anyone done this themselves with the MorRyde? Is there anything I should be looking for or lubing while I have it apart?

eaherrmann,

They sent a new couch?? Crazy! Anyway, glad you got your baby back home. Now let's hope yours and ours are the only ones on this link to sustain that damage!

Yogi154,

If you hate being hot, you'd better get the second AC. Whatever floor plan feels better to you both is the one. The incidentals -- the TV and counter space are after-purchase adaptable. I mean, you can change out the TV, add a portable counter space, etc. Don't sweat the small stuff! Maybe the dealer would assist in some adaptions before sale?

Took our Designer out his past weekend for the first time this year...highs were in low 40's F and lows were about 30F degrees and had no hookups...the insulation factor of it was even better than I thought with the dual pane windows...used the generator when needed and used the electric fireplace and a portable cube heater to supplement the RV furnace; also used the TV and convec oven at the same time and generator did great...at night we turned the Rv furnace down to about 60F and hardly came on (and only relied on battery power at night)...good first time out and was glad to get th first trip over with...next trip will be to fill the water tank and check the lines (weather depending)

Hey All, We finally got our trailer back. We were definitely worried about the service we'd get from the dealer since we didn't buy from them. I will tell EVERYONE that Triangle RV in Fredrick MD does it right! Can't tell where we banged it up and everything works perfectly. Another note, they performed all of our warranty repairs as well. We had a small tear in a couch cushion and Jayco sends a whole new couch. That’s service. All in all,,,,very satisfied...:B

Help We are looking at two Jayco Designers #1 is an 08 36ft RLTS I like it. Dual air's $ 65,000 pretty loaded. I like the open space but a small 32in TV. I like the split bathroom and two sinks. Little short on counter space , but we cook out.
The 09 is a 35ft RLTS the wife likes this one too. I don't like the Tub and the bathroom in general No Window. Plus you loose an upright chest. Part time fully timing (winter time) 42in TV Nice.
OK do we need two A/C's I hate being hot!! I like all the water service in one compartment, the 08 doesn't have it.
Price differance $ 15 bucks. Seams weird to me the list is with-in about $ 240 .
Looking for the Pro's and Con's of these Models
Well let me add this the prices are list. I would be trading in a Cardinal 05 and I'm looking at either unit at about $ 31K and my unit. I like both units We toured the factory last month. They have true Amish workers not like some of the other brands that say they do. I liked the workman ship the quality is there, a family bussiness. I thought that two A/C's is a must. I noticed the LED light's on the 09 too. Wife is a quilter so we will be bringing a table for the stuff. That's why the large floor plan or open floor plan.
I moved my post to your Jayco site

Thanks for your input.
