First and Foremost: Thank you, Moderator, for allowing this thread to continue.
2nd: Janice and I are home safe from our trip to Arizona. I will post a summary of our experiences in an appropriate section of the forum.
3rd: I've an item concerning the woodwork on the 35RLTS that developed during the latter part of our travels that may be of interest to new 35RLTS owners. Apparently the feet of the couch and the single table leg do not like the dry dessert air. One foot on the couch has developed a crack and two cracks have appeared in the table leg. I suspect that it is just a reaction to the change in humidity for which there is no simple solution but I will be seeking action from Jayco.
Finally a caution about the power cord to the rear jack motor!!! I noticed just prior to leaving Mesa that there was about a 2 foot loop of power cord hanging down from the bottom of the trailer almost to the ground, a gentle tug produced another foot or so. Not a good situation because the loop would have snagged the first obstacle on the ground. I could see no way to secure the cord up in the trailer so I wrapped it around the motor a few times until there was no excess slack and taped it to the motor. Needless to say I will be having a chat with our dealer about a more permanent fix and I suggest that owners inspect the situation in their units.
