This combo just pulled into my campground in Red Deer. The trailer looks to be about 25 feet from the side.I'll see if I can engage them in conversation and find out more as the day goes on. thanks!Kevin
Hello friends, As you can probably see based on my other posts, in less than a month I'm picking up my new 2018 Jayco Jay Flight 285 RLS SLX. Its GVWR is 8250 pounds, and I have a 2017 Ram 3500 CTD. My question is this: is it worthwhile at all to lo...
Hello friends, My new Jayco 285 RLS SLX, which I don't get for a month (aww!) doesn't have a medicine cabinet in the bathroom, only a mirror attached to the wall. Not a big deal for just one person (me), but I was wondering, has anyone replaced a m...
