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!

RE: Gas Tank ... I have two 5 gallon rectangular plastic gas "cans" that I can get all but about a 1/2 to 3/4 gallon out of if I twist the fill nozzel to the side. I dump them both into the tank, then transfer the remaining from one into the other and dump it again. End up with about 9 1/2 gallons out of 10 in the tank ... not too bad.

Fridge - Good Pics Ed ... I have a couple of fans and a small illuminated switch I'm going to mount inside so I can turn on/off. This should help with reducing the heat build up in the pantry too !Thanks;

M GO Blu - when you ran the fridge for those 9 days on LP, did your pantry get really hot inside? Ours did after a day or two.!?!

Hi everyone
Discovered something this morning you all should know about. First I'm an RLSA owner and I have been having problems with my front remote control landing gear. Today I removed the LP tanks to fill them an discovered two wires that come from the back of the compartment to the front of it laying on the shaft that goes from the electric motor to the other side of the trailer. Since this shaft turns any time you raise or lower your front gear it needs to be moved out of the way.

Ok now why are some of you installing fridge fans???

We had ours on for 9 days straight on LP and never had a problem....

As for CHV...what does that article refer to?

[eaherrmann]

Hopefully the pics are self explanatory. This is the 10cf fridge.








These work great, bay area nice and cool. No interior heat build up at all. Do not aim fan at the LP area on the right, don't want to blow out the flame. The way I have it setup does not interfere with the LP mode.
Hope this helps 🙂

[CHV_FRK]

How's this?



What is it really? I thought they did that test on all of ours. 🙂

[M_GO_BLUE1]

Yeah the gas can for the genny is a pain as I can't either get all the gas from the can into the tank...

I read about the "Polar Barrier" options they were testing. I guess it is an added option on the '09 models? As far as the a/c fan goes, I changed out my thermostats and just wired the fan to run on high speed only.

Bummer for me if this new one does not already have the fridge fans built in like my '05 Designer did. Only difference in the firdge is this one is a 10 cu/ft where the other was an 8.

Also, on the genny tank, it tanks a funky gas can to fill it up. I tried the one I use for the lawn mower and it hits the top of the baggage door and you can't fill it. Anybody found one that works? Maybe a long funnel?

eaherrmann I would like to see a couple pics.

Our A/C also has obvious difference between hi and lo settings, especially noticeable in the "quick cool" mode.

As far as the Fridge fans, the lower fan faces in to draw cool air in, the upper fan faces out to push warm air out. I used 2 12vdc fans, 2' of dual conductor wire, a few zip ties to secure fans and most importantly, double sided foam tape to attenuate any vibration noises. When the trailer is dead silent you can barely hear the fans. Anyone need pics?

Hey Doug, Do you get a "seatbelt" light and the oh so enjoyable bong when your passenger isn't wearing a seatbelt?

Thnx,
Ed

A/C fan control ... has obvious difference in fan speed between Hi and Lo.

RE: Fridge ... I've got two DC Fans ... did you mount one in the upper outside vent and one in the lower outside vent ??

Well eaherrmann...as much as I would like to be "da man"...I'm not! We just use it for washing. So what is your AC fan speed situation? Easy with the mods...the wife may check in here!!

[eaherrmann]

Stream water?? you da man. Water up north must be ALOT better than what we have done under. Then again, camping world does sell a 45 gal collapsable water bladder that you could toss in the back of the pickup and go "hunting" for fresh water. Been to Mexico,only drank safe mixed drinks BUT the ice cubes are made from the local water 😞
