New to Jayco
Hi Folks,
My wife and I take possession of our first trailer soon - a 21QB. We've rented trailers for years, tented and had a truck camper. The only towable I've had was a 1962 Apache tent trailer. We're looking forward to this new adventure!

We had one of those from 1971-72. We've come a long way.

Thanks oldmanAZ! I see you're tracking your camped nights in your signature. Is that the number of nights in your unit?

Yeah, I think it weighed all of 300 lbs. I could push it around by hand on the campsite. It was absolutely huge when set up with the add a room. Many happy camping experiences, but not so great for living in a rainforest!

Yup. 2015: ~6,000mi loop trip with two weeks in both Michigan and Florida and in 2016 a camp hosting position on 'The Rim' in Arizona. Probably 90 days for 2017.

Welcome to JOF and congratulations on the purchase of your new JF 21QB. My DW and I picked our 21 QB three weeks ago, we cannot wait to pack for our first trip in May.

I like your score card Sherm and Terry! Great idea!
I too am new to Jayco and this forum. So far I am finding it's a great place to learn and share knowledge and experiences. I look forward to more on the trails I have covered already, and, the new ones to come!

Congrats on that trailer. I really like the 21QB floorplan and the low tow weight. I can't find one to look at though, anywhere in Central Virginia.
