what an upgrade
Hi everybody,
After about 20 years of going to NASCAR races, hunt camps and fishing weekends in first a tent then upgrading to a popup I decided enough was enough. After a lot of research we purchased a 2017 28' Jayco Jayflight SLX. What a difference, my only problem with it is that it has made me question my sanity as to why I why waited so long to upgrade to a hard side.
I look forward to learning things, new ideas and hopefully being able to share something new we learned during our adventures.

Same here, and we are loving our TT. I just figured by taking this route we served our time primitive camping and have that skill to fall back on. After so many years of tent, hammock, and pop up camping, we learned all the tricks without the fancy amenities. Congrats on the TT!

Welcome from New York State! A lot of folks have gone from tent to pop up, to hybrid or hard side, etc. It's a natural progression.

Tent campers and backpackers really appreciate what they have more IMO.
Especially when it's raining!
