Re: Why 2 tent beds and not just one on all HTT's?
We have a BIG storage bin that sits outside the camper near the tongue. All of our dirty clothes go in there so it doesn't stink up the camper. Then the bin goes in the bed of the truck for the ride home and right into the laundry room.379Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newbie with a Jayco 23B
If you are plugged in to 110, the battery test button inside the camper will always read as full. It most likely sat on the lot and the battery was run down in the first month. Hopefully now that you had it plugged in for a week, the lights will work for you.456Views0likes0CommentsRe: ? On dry camping for 2 nights propane use?

I already did it overnight with absolutely positively no problems And I left the cg with 2/3 battery!!!!i wasn't worried about the battery at all it was i Only the propane.which was resolved. I don't understand the hostility?? You came in here and asked for opinions. Nobody can state with absolute fact how long your possibly 1/2 and 1/4 filled 20 pound tanks will last. (Yes we now know that you have since put a little effort into figuring this out yourself and we now know one tank is full) You also state that you camped for a night and used very little battery and propane. Of course we should just believe you when you say you used little propane since at the time you really didn't even know how much you actually used. Batteries are funny when it comes to actual usage time. Since your 1 night trip used 1/3 of your battery, it's safe to assume that after 2 nights of use, you will have only used 2/3 of the battery, right? Problem with that is that a battery does not just use up all of its stored energy. The last 1/3 doesn't really get used and as your battery level gets lower, things will not work as well. You may not have enough juice to power the furnace fan even though the battery level indicator reads 1/3. Filling the tank you thought was 1/4 filled would have ensured you have enough lp. A way to charge the battery (just in case) would ensure you have enough battery. Since all you really came in here to hear is that you will be fine on your trip...... You have nothing to worry about, the battery and propane you have is plenty enough for a 2 night trip that is only twice as long as your 1 night experiment. Have a good trip.538Views0likes0CommentsRe: Exactly how important is a slide?
Floor plan plays a part on whether or not a slide is necessary. We have a Starcraft 229TB and the layout (in our opinion) works without needing a slide. Everything is usable while closed. There is enough room behind the dinette, between the kitchen counter and fridge for our kids to play on the floor while the adults play games at the table. We can still sit 5 comfortably at the table and I plan on extending the table somehow to add 2 more seats utilizing the sofa. It seems that the older hybrids were designed with very narrow walkways. We would have wanted a slide if that was what was available when we were shopping around.418Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone here own a Jayco hybrid? setup question
I'm with LEMII. I fold the mattresses in half with the pole in the mattress. The rear is held up by the bathroom wall. Side and front bunks are held up by the straps. I slide them to the side just enough so they don't fold down onto the bed. I then go outside and close the bunks. No need to remove the mattress and then lift it back to the "shelf" that supports the mattresses.346Views0likes0CommentsRe: A/C's in Hybrid Extendable Travel Trailers
We are in central Florida (near Lakeland) and our A/C can keep up in the summer, even without shade. It isn't very cold during the day, but is cool. Cool enough to nap if you wanted to. At night it gets very cold and I find myself turning up the temp so we don't freeze. We do NOT use the gizmos or reflectix. We could probably regulate the temps a little better with them but feel it isn't necessary since it is rather comfortable without. We camped at Lake Louisa State Park last summer (absolutely no shade) and the inside of the camper was probably in the mid 70's during the day with the A/C set to low cool.436Views0likes0Comments
