My new trailer is not junk
At least not in the first few weeks. I have owned many trailers and this new Jayco 154 BH seems to be put together better than any of the Forest River or Fleetwood trailers that I have owned in the p...

It's still business as usual @ Jayco. Thor will benefit from the Jayco travel Trailers, mainly the Jayflight.
As for TomG2, i could not agree with you more. The Jayflight SLX proves that simple can be a good thing. So far, are 195RB has been really good for us, not perfect, but really good. Fit / finish inside and out is good, only one minor issue is the pantry door is warped. One of the biggest complaints on the Jayco Owners Forum Site is the bed in this unit. It is a queen size island bed, but Jayco cheaped out by using thin plywood and no lift struts. The biggest complaint is the bed sags in the middle, some have blamed it on the Denver Mattress, others have added 2x4 supports from side to side. That to me just adds to much weight to the bed when lifting. What i did was build a support wall under the bed. 2 things this did ..... added support, and now the bed is darn comfortable, secondly, closed off the under the bed storage on inside to the outside storage, in other words, inside and outside storage is now seperated.... so, if by accident you leave the outside storage door open, what is outdoors stays outdoors. Next spring i am going to add a thicker piece of plywood, cut and hinge it at the support wall, and when you need to access underneath the bed, you are not lifting the entire bed. We are away next week with it for a week of fall camping .... so, we'll see how this Jayflight stacks up to the other 3 i previously enjoyed!
