Pass Through Storage
The pass through storage on our new Jayco 21'TT not only passes from one side to the other , but also goes through to the under bed storage . There are no water pipes or venting and no holes coming from the bottom side of the TT in this area. When I have a side storage door open , before the bed was made up , the DW noticed daylight coming through at the head of the bed . She did not like this considering flying insects entering through the pass through doors and into TT living area . Have any you got good advice on either how to block the area under the bed off from the pass through or do you find this way advantageous in any way? I know the simple fix is to keep the doors shut so lets not go there . Just looking for pros and cons of the open to under bed or closed to under bed .

This is an extension on the truck frame and is not a part of the hitch. Barney I did find this eyelet under my F250 and used this and the same clasp hook as you on our first outing . This worked just great. Thank You , Life is Good514Views0likes0CommentsRe: Emergency Brake Cable
OP here . On this topic of hitch failure , the DW and I once did see a truck pulling a TT traveling the opposite direction on a divide highway with the TT only being pulled by the safety chains !For what reason this happened is unknown but does stress the factor of double checking our hitching procedure before hitting the road. Of course the safety chains are made for the ball failure or not "pinning" the hitch latch, but in case of hitch failure I believe the recommendation of hooking the "breakaway" cable to the frame someway is some solid advice . I was just wondering "how" and where some of you do this. I do have a eyelet off the frame ( which someone mentioned) of the truck that appears to be the best spot, if the cable length permits.

A Newbie here to TT forum , was a long time Fiver and Snowbird forum "troller" and poster. In the Fiver world the Emergency Brake Cable was hooked to the side of my box in the PU . It was not recommended to hook to the hitch in case of hitch failure , So where are you TT guys hooking this important line to? Thanks , Life is Good !7.5KViews0likes21CommentsWater Hose
We have downsized from our Fiver to a small travel trailer . Just wondering how you guys in these smaller rigs store your water hose . Our TV is a pickup so most of our basement stuff will be in Rubbermaid boxes in the box of the truck . Just wondering if anyone has come up with a genius way of storing those unruly things .6.2KViews0likes21Comments
