Jayco Eagle and f250 puller questions....a few
We have logged many miles on our Jayco Eagle 33.5 RETS in the past 3 years....yellowstone, glacier, and rushmore from Albuq. First off I must say that the sales talk about dedicated Amish folks building these by hand is total BS...workmanship and details are **** on this rig. I have replaced almost every screw in the cabin and re-nailed all the moulding...that being said, we love the floor plan, so we suck it up...2 year warranty stuff (many items) was dedicated to bigger (drunk amish??) issues.
I digress....I do have some legit questions. I had 2 (both sides unfortunately) blowouts on this last trip. No damage beyond the wheel fenders and some bent metal, thank goodness. I have replaced the wheel wells, but noticed yesterday 2 random (white) wires hanging from the axle area. They look like they are part of brake system and at the end of the line (I can follow the others through all 4 wheels, and they end at this wheel). Any ideas what I should do?? Cap them? Unite them? I can get a pic if need be.
2nd question is about the f250. It seems to really sag in the back end when hooked up. The trailer is level and really rides nicely, but that back end sag looks really ugly on a nice truck! Should I get airbags? I think that the trailer level is more important than the truck.
BTW....if you have a slider hitch, use it...got careless (day of 2nd blowout, I was tired after a long day) and blew out my back driver window...great end to a great dsy!!! Thanks all!!
