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

[sanderson_66]

Since there does not currently seem to be a Jayco owners forum, Moderator Frank has graciously allowed this thread. It will be for discussing Jayco related questions and comments. Anything not Jayco related will be deleted. Sounds more than fair to me. Thank-you Frank!

Hey Doug, good luck on Friday. My B&W hitch is setup highest holes furthest to the rear. The Mor-Ryde and pinbox were at factory settings. The TV and 5vr were within a 1/2" front to back as far as leveling, that of course is "assuming" the ground was level. One problem we had was when driving through the construction our brakes were "grabbing" pretty bad so I turned off my brake controller for a few miles. Let us know how it turned out for y'all.

Ha! Yeah, did not make much sense to me, either. I will be in the infield at Charlotte for both races. I hope it does not do it there cause DW will be with me and she won't go without a/c!!

Loydt, CO Alarm is a common issue at racetrack camping. My friends with a MH and I get many alarms when at Bristol and just down the street from you at Charlotte. Usually worst if no breeze blowing. Too many generators within a area. I had to stop going to the races as I got too many headaches and just a overall worn out feeling which can sometimes be related to overexposure to CO. Also might be related to the quantity of beverages and late nights but I'm admitting to nothing.

Has anybody else noticed that the fuel guage on the generator gas tank is off? When it is completely full it only shows 3/4 full.

Also, while running the genny for a long time the last night in the infield at Talladega, the CO alarm went off in the bedroom twice. On the second time, I just shut the genny off and went back to bed. I had the Gen Turi kit on and all the windows closed, too. I am not sure if it is a bad detector or if it might have been in relation to all the other gennys running nearby? Nonetheless, I am going to simulate the same situation at home to see if it goes off again.

Hi eaherrmann, Wow!!! nice rig. Thought it could have been mine for a minute until I noticed your truck is actually clean:C and not to mention a couple of years newer. Your mileage is quite similar to what I get with our rig except when we get into headwinds.

Cheers and congratulations,

Dave

Hi 2007 Dura,

I think I probably purchased the same replacements for the bedroom closet door locks as Cruz did. I bought them from Beaudry RV now located off I-10 in Phoenix and in Tucson. If you do order from them specify that you want their custom replacements, not the packaged product that they also have available because their version is much heavier duty (although like Cruz said, you do have to drill them). You might also check with M GO BLUE to see if the ones I sent him (Eric) worked for him.

Cheers,

Dave

Wow, what a weekend. 1st of all, we can't say enough on how nice of a trailer this is.:B We are now huge Jayco fans. Our PDI was a joke, we knew more about the 35RLTS then our assigned demo tech. :h We also discovered that RV Direct may save you lots of money, but their service is as rock bottom as the price. :E We're not going to bash the dealer...you want walmart prices, you should expect walmart service. We saved 20k, I can find a better service dept for that price. The 5vr pulled like a dream, the TV had the power to pull it with lots left over, even got 12mpg with load.:C We'll be setting it up over next few days with our first trip planned for Mother's Day. Here's a couple of pics from our "practice" area.

We broke our plastic door locks the 2nd night out !! Went to a local RV parts dealer here in AZ and he showed me a less costly set that are a little longer and made of clear plastic (no ridges). They're made of a thinner plastic which makes them more flexible.
I had to drill the 2 holes in them to screw them into the existing holes. Replaced them the first week of December and they're still there and work great !!

Just got back from picking rig up from having some warranty work done, along with a few nights camping. Had dealer raise the suspension, and a big difference. Was worried about rear jacks before lift, don't think I have a problem now.

ewagnr,
Give the micro/combo a try before ripping out cabinets. This is our 2nd rig with combo and no oven. We prefer the combo, and have even looked to try and find a house model.

In the other thread we had going, someone posted about replacements for the plastic door "locks" in bedroom. Where did you find them. We broke another one this weekend and looking to see if we can find one that holds up better.

Hey Celv66 ... you say PA is over $400 / year to register your truck and trailer.?? Heck, Registratiion in AZ on My truck and trailer combined runs over $1100 a year !! Goes down a little every year, but still ... :S
