Re: from 5er to class A gas
Rhino, here is a youtube on tankless water heater. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFKgOb9ZS7Q Also, go to Girard products website http://greenrvproducts.com/girard-tankless-rv-water-heater/ Read their info. The system works. There are varibles and with the system being fairly new to RVing there have been some challenging learning curves. Enjoy your test drive. Hopefully you will have someone on your walk through that knows the system and can demonstrate it for you. We had an excellent demo when we did our walk through. Have fun, Darrell477Views0likes0CommentsRe: from 5er to class A gas
Hi Rhino. There seems to be quite a following on irv2.com and jaycoowners.com , both forums have been really helpful to prospective & new Precept owners. Check us out there too. I would have rather had a larger grey than black but that was not a deciding factor when we made our final decision. As for our coach......very happy indeed. Just under 1000 miles and 2 outings. The first was in an RV park with full hookups, the second in a state park with 50 AMP only. 3 days and 2 nights in the state park and all went well. Systems worked like they were supposed to. The tankless hot water system has some challenges to it and a learning curve. Comfort level is great...just the 2 of us with Tess. Both ACs on thermostat is a nice plus. The entertainment systems are great...............secondary to the state park elements. Improvements in the near future: Safe-T-Plus steering stabilizer install and carefree blinds (of CO) for sun block for the windshield and side windows. A few minor items on warranty and with the 2 year bumper to bumper warranty, we feel pretty secure in our purchase. Good luck,478Views0likes0CommentsRe: from 5er to class A gas

golfnut..........I saw that Jayco has 2 larger units due to be released September/October. They are getting really serious about matching the A classes on the market. We've had Bertha a month and very impressed. I have not done a measure test on my grey/black tanks and for the life of me, I don't understand the grey being smaller either. Good question. We dry camped 3 days, 2 nights this past weekend. I loaded 2/3 fresh at the house. We showered in the public facilities (very nice state park) but used our resources otherwise. When we dumped as we left, still had 1/3 fresh and both grey and black were 1/3. I know that doesn't offer a close gallon measurement. I'm just saying we could have possibly filled the fresh and showered in our unit...being conservative...Navy shower. I am going to crawl under and see if I can see a sizable difference in the tanks. They are visible from the door to the sewer hook ups...I watched the fresh fill and the grey is immediately overhead with a heat pad wired to it. Our focus in searching for our MH was length + slides. We tried to stay under 30' but there weren't many that met our criteria. We really like our 31 UL and look forward to spending more time in her. We have 50A, 2 ACs, 5.5 generator, 4 door 12 cu ft. fridge. The entertainment systems are out of this world (for me anyway)......so many options. Watched a DVD on the dinette TV and surround sound. May not sound like much to some...maybe I am easily impressed. Fit and finish very nice. We have put on about 900 miles..........I will be adding a steering stabilizer to settle the wandering....probably a SafeTplus. JRide is a cushy ride not unlike that of a pusher w/air. Of course the pusher has weight to keep things from wandering. All in all, we are very encouraged. Darrell477Views0likes0CommentsRe: from 5er to class A gas
Hahahahahaha, thanks all. Arch, you can tell I am biting at the bit, can't you. We can only do weekends for now and I started right away lining up and reserving spots in our State Parks and Mary reminded me we have to be home some weekends.........oh well. 2 days after we brought Bertha home, we ran to OK City for a wedding. 3 days, 2 nights, 740 miles and we arrived home smiling. Had the base plate and tow/brake system installed yesterday so we are closer. Mid-October looks like a good possibility for some fall colors in AR. Yep, Life is Good........AKAFUN90Views0likes0CommentsRe: Any tips on the tankless water heater
We are looking seriously at the Jayco 31 UL as our next RV, first coach. It has the tankless water heater...I will find out this week what brand. I have always used a water regulator at the faucet and never any problems. But, my understanding was the regulator was under 35#. From this thread, it seems that 35# may not be enough to support the flow rate needed to properly operate the unit in the 31 UL. I will also need to find out if the onboard pump is an upgrade. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the prior contributions and discussions. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA Darrell573Views0likes0Comments
