Re: Jayco Jayflight - opinions from owners...?
Bought our 2008 Jayflight 28BHS in 2007. It's been to both coasts (Florida 2x) and as far north as Missouri. I've only had very minor problems and all but 2 of those that I can think of were "self induced." I would definitely buy a Jayco again.723Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
Here is an old mod. I hadn't put up pictures for yet. I didn't want the poles for the dinette rattling around, so I mounted double sided velcro strips (the kind you use for tie up bundles of cords for computers, e.g.) under the existing screws on the bottom of the dinette.474Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
Here are a few mods I recently made to our Jayflight 28BHS: 1. I knew that the plumbing for our outdoor shower was exposed in the rear storage compartment, but the gravity of this matter came to light when I slid our folding table into the storage area which pushed a basketball into the pipes for the outdoor shower and caused a shower inside the storage compartment. Fortunately, it was just a pipe that popped off a connection and it was an easy fix. This is what it looked like before: To correct this design defect, I built a cage around it to prevent any future damage: 2. We also didn't have enough private room in the bath area to be able to change after a shower, so I added this privacy curtain: It seals with velcro on both sides when the curtain is closed: 3. Our last trailer had almost no countertop space. We love the countertop space on our new trailer, but it still isn't enough, so I suspended this wire shelf from the cabinets so we can keep more of the countertop clear:404Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
I know it's not really much of a mod, but in lieu of putting on an additional plastic pipe for a sewer hose holder, I "de-rusted" my bumper by spraying the inside of it with the Rustoleum product that turns the rust into metal. I then painted the interior with rust preventing paint and voila - no more rusty sewer hose (at least for now). Time will tell if I need to go to a pvc style solution. Working on another one and hope to have pics of it soon.366Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012

I've never seen one for a residential toilet so don't know why one would be needed for an RV. It serves 3 purposes you can rinse down the bowl when stuff sticks to the sides. You can also open the flapper and rinse below the toilet. Finally I can diconnect the hose spray nozzle and attach the toilet wand to rinse out the black tank. No more dragging in the hose from outside. Did I say I also use the hose sprayer when cleaning the tub. This is not an original idea Thetford makes a toilet with an optional sprayer Thetford toilet with sprayer And I thought it was a Hillbilly Bidet!322Views0likes0Comments
