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!

Question: Would anyone be so kind as to unscrew the front cover of your unit and tell me in what order the five wires on the left side (connecting the light and fan) go? Thanks! I can call Apollo Monday if no one gets back to me by then.

Ok guys, Today I took off the mirror I'm talking about above. I want to tell you what I found behind the mirror, lots of bubbles in the jell coat and there all full of water. The biggest is about the size of a dime, but most are much smaller.

It appears to me that when the double back tape was applied on the back of the mirror at the factory they didn't run it all the way to the two top corners and water was able to run behind it. On the bottom corners it was sealed so the water became trapped behind the mirror.

For this to happen the water has been there a long time.

St. Louis to South Padre

If I feather the throttle I can make it on one fillup.... or floor it, wear and adult diaper, and I can make it in one day!

[whporwil]

St Louis to South Padre is a two day drive, please bring your leaf blower.

First of all... waxing you camper... I hate you. It was in the low 20's and I had to pick up and move in new family room furniture along qith a new gun safe. at 10 last night when I eas done it was 21 outside with a 10 deg wind chill.

Back to your question' I use a elec leave blower to get the biggest chunk of water off. Hit the top and sides pretty good and it wont'drip for a little while. Otherwisw it will dry out on it's own.

Great news and a question...
We got the microwave/convection oven back and it works!!!!! The tech at Collier County Appliance replaced the door switch and now all is well. And they didn't charge us anything!!!!!

Question: Would anyone be so kind as to unscrew the front cover of your unit and tell me in what order the five wires on the left side (connecting the light and fan) go? Thanks! I can call Apollo Monday if no one gets back to me by then.

We just washed the rig and I found that what I thought were just dirt spots are something else that won't come off with regular car wash soap. Maybe tree sap. Also found what looks like battery acid drips on the outside of the battery compartment (nothing inside and no leaks!) Argh!!!

[CHV_FRK]

The option was for the high gloss gel coat. Base is kinda like gel coat. I think it's fylon or something like that. You can see the texture of the fiberglass though and you can't really buff it as well. The actual gel coat is additional mass on the outside of that. Adds I think about 200lbs to the trailer. It can be buffes and also smoothes out the surface.

Might do it, Mrbuck50. However, we've had ours in full-time use for almost three years without issue, so I'll try a repair first. Taking it in for a free estimate tomorrow (again!) Hopefully, they'll diagnose it this time!

[mrbuck50]

L&MMusic......replace it with a GE. We did and never regret it. Apollo = JUNK!!!
You will have to modify the cabinet to the left of the micro, but its worth it.

Hi Dana, Don't all our campers have a gel coat finish? Jayco offers an optional clear coat finish we paid $1995.00 for. It probally has another name.
