When growing up, I had a greyhound the same color as yours - ahhh....the memories.

They are great dogs. A lot of people think they are high energy, but are usually exactly the opposite. It's no coincidence that two of the three pictures I posted include her sprawled out sleeping :)

You have an 80-gallon fresh water tank?? I didn't know they made ones that big, especially for a 24' TT. I think ours is 40 gallons at the most.

I think it's one of the selling points of the JayFlight line. It may be two sistered tanks, but it would be great to do dry camping with. We don't do much dry camping yet though.

Did your TT not come with a spare tire cover?

Nope, silly eh? We're currently looking for a fun one to put on.

I've never seen a slideout that drops down flush. Do you actually see that happening?

Ya, it's pretty fascinating and a bit hard to explain. When stored, the slideout floor is raised maybe 2-3 inches, and is not parellel with the trailer floor. The edge of the slideout floor towards the inside of the trailer is higher than the outside edge. When the slideout is extended, the slideout looks like it travels a very miild slope, dropping maybe an inch or two during it's travel. Then, the last 2% of it's travel the inside edge of the slideout drops down another inch or so, making the floor level and very nearly flush with the kitchen floor. The amount that isn't flush is the thickness of the slideout floor material...probably 1/2"-3/4", which is carpeted. All of this also results in the outside wall of the slideout not being parallel with the outside wall of the trailer when the slide is extended, because the wall and floor/ceiling are not at 90 degree angles to each other (allows the slideout wall to be parallel with the trailer wall when closed, when the floor of the slideout is not level). I thought something was wrong with the slideout when I first noticed it, but you can tell it's intentional on closer inspection.
