Jayco JayFlight 24FBS - 5 month review
Hi all, In February this year we bought our first travel trailer, a 2013 Jayco JayFlight 24FBS. We’ve been out about 4 times so far, for a total of 10 nights or so. We’ve towed it around 2,000 mile...

I first tried to get a print of the roof joists soon after we bought the trailer, but back then Jayco must have had a very un-personable person on the phones!! She said since it was under warranty they would not send me the prints. Since then, and while still under warranty, I have gotten 5 or 6 various prints to help with projects and/or ideas. With no hassles from the customer service rep each time.
I used a stud finder to locate any framing up in the ceiling, found the cross joists easily, and also found a couple of ones running front to back between a pair of joists. This was just forward of the ceiling light obove the foot of the bed. After building up my courage, I drilled a small hole near the supposed intersection of two joists. Probed with a wire and felt very confident that it was framed for a 14" vent. Then just cut away slowly and carefully till it was opened up, and found a perfect vent spot!!
Then drilled up through the roof to locate the corners when up top, sliced and X from corner to corner in the rubber roof, then cut the plywood out and installed the vent. Really was very easy once the joists were located.
I am sure that you can get a print of the roof framing by calling or using their website. They will require the VIN of the trailer and some further info, and will e-mail you a pdf of the print.
I have electrical, back wall, bath wall, and plumbing prints. Back wall since I am toying with installing a window in the bath above the stool.
Enjoy!!!
