Does a good job moving heated air around the RV and out to the tent ends.Re: Bal RV LevelerHave been using one for 5 years on my Jayco 17Z. Works great! The large adjustment screw is angled up and out, and can be a leg/trip hazzard so I use an 8" piece of pool noodle to cover it.Re: Flushing water tank. Krusty wrote: I do the bleach thing too. Every spring x2 I also drain the fresh water tank, lines, and water heater after every trip. Takes maybe 5 minutes.Re: 13" tiresWhat kind of HTT do you have? I upgraded from 13" to 14" on my Jayco 17Z this year with no wheelwell clearance problems. You might want to check the HTT forum to get more responses specific to your brand/model.Re: towing jayco x17Z feather ultra lite with hond pilot ex 4w/dCheck the Hybrid section of the JaycoOwners forum. There are a number of threads discussing this very topic, with comments from Pilot/17Z owners. Definitely will need tow package, HD trans cooler, sway bars, etc.Typical battery lifeJust finished up our 5th year of camping. Still using my original battery that came with the RV. It's charged up and sitting in my basement till spring. I hasn't caused me any issues so far, but wondering how many years I can expect to get out of it. Here in MN the battery sits idle for 6 months out of the year. Thoughts?Re: Storge in a Jayfeather 17ZThis is a common question for 17Z owners...We use a duffle bag for each person. Some people use the upper cabinets for clothing storage, but we use that space for food and other camping items.Re: How cold will I be in a Jayco hybrid?Have had our Jayco hybrid for 5 years. Weather and moisture haven't been a problem (outside temps ranging from 30-100F). Outside noise, however, has been a problem - especially when campsites are close together. We use a small portable fan for white noise, or just turn the AC fan on - that thing drowns out everything.Re: How to power a 2-way refer while driving? billkaufmann wrote: darsben wrote: Run it on propane X2 X3Re: WD hitch advice for HTT and Nissan FrontierI have a Jayco 17Z HTT, similar to the 17C you are buying. I've been very happy with the Equalizer 600/6000; easy to use and great sway control, especially with crosswinds. I found the best price online at RV Wholsalers. Prodigy controller works great too.
