Re: Help on re-adjusting Equal-i-zer WD hitch
From page 19 of the manual: Under or Over Adjustment: If the hitch is transferring too little or too much weight you must make adjustments to the hitch setup. For changes during the initial setup we recommend adding or removing spacer washers first to try and keep the spring arms parallel with the trailer frame. In our experience, this can help reduce the amount of noise the hitch makes during slow, tight turns. It also gives you more adjustment options if needed later. Once the maximum (8) or minimum (4) number of spacer washers has been reached, further adjustments can be made by raising or lowering the Lbrackets. Minor adjustments later for changes in loading can usually be done by moving only the L-brackets.635Views0likes0CommentsRe: Jayco vs. Other brands experiences?
Well...I finally pulled the trigger, sort of! I put a down payment on a 2014 Jayco White Hawk 30DSQB. I have to wait til next Saturday to pick it up! I feel worse then a kid a night before Christmas, and a good kid at that. After 3 years, I found something I couldn't get out of my head, and nothing that I would compare it against. There are some really awesome TTs out there; but like a great wife "you know it, when you feel it." ...and I think the wife is even happier then I am! New adventures are ahead us now.3.4KViews0likes0CommentsJayco vs. Other brands experiences?
I've in the market for a couple of years now, but just can't seem to pull the trigger on any one TT. I've looked at Coachman, Keystone, Forest River, Dutchmen, and lastly Jayco. Maybe it was just the salesman, or maybe the models I've been looking at; but Jayco looks to be built better then any other brand out there. Real wood, solid built cabinets, reinforcements in the right spots, and even quality fabrics. The price range I've looking is $15-23K, and everything I have compared (sitting on the lots only) does not compare to a Jayco. Specifically, the Jayco bunk houses, single slides, i.e. Jay Flight 28BHBE, 29QBH, 32BHDS. I would like to hear opinions from people who either had a Jayco and bought something else and felt it was an improvement... Or people had other brands and now have a Jayco, and felt that made the right decision. My tow vehicle would be a 2011 F150, heavy duty tow package, eco-boost engine, 3.73 axle ratio, and tow capacity of 11,200#.22KViews0likes28CommentsRe: Buying New Travel Trailer Jayco or Z-1 Crossroads??
Did you make a purchase? I'm in the same boat. I really liked the Z-1, when I looked at it, and then I went and looked at a Jayco Jay Flight and the Jay Flight Swift. The salesman demonstrated the strength in the construction, and I was impressed. If it was a show and nothing more, it got me thinking. I will be traveling it my trailer quite a bit, and even long lengths of dirt roads. I want something that is going to last. I might have to re-visit the Z-1 again and convince myself, which is built for the long haul.730Views0likes0CommentsQuestion: Toy Hauler gas smell?
I am new to the trailer market, if fact still haven't purchased a trailer yet, but I have question about Toy haulers. I have seen 3 different types, at least I will call them different types of Toy Haulers. 1st. Separate space for garage and for living. 2nd. Outside space for toys/deck. 3rd. Same living space hauler, not wall separating the garage from the sleeping space. My question is specially related to the 3rd. I know just bringing a quad and/or lawn mower in my house garage for a few short minutes (normally kept in the shed not attached to the house) I get a gas/engine smell that seems to always drift in the house. Now when the living space of the trailer shares the same space as the 'garage', doesn't the smell get onto everything?8.3KViews0likes21Comments
