Removed the piston that opens the side door. Now I can open the door all the way.

Hey George

[For got to mention....we're in San Clemente, CA this week. It's in the 80's. Next week it's Mission Bay, San Diego then off to Tucson.]

I love Mission Bay, where do you stay when you go there?

We always stay at Campland on the Bay

Organized pass thru storage, rolled out the awning to dry out, and opened her up to air out for awhile on a rare 60 degree January day.

Tinkering with our new 2014 Eagle 5wh. Replaced C751 locks, and added locks to Propane cabinets.

Also added small valve drain to hot water tank. removed plastic drain plug because I always drain the tank between outings, so makes it easy and no worries about stripping plastic plug.

New wheel covers

Ordered LED bulbs to replace all incandescent bulls to save 75% power draw


Hummmm. What else?

I'm getting rid of all the 12 volt lites and putting in Led strips I'm 50% done. They are real cheap and a no brainer to install. I bought 2 reels of White Led's and 4 packs of led connectors on ebay for less than 50 bux! Led's use 1/3 of the power of a fluorescent bulb. They are really bright when you get the roll of 600 led's per roll.

Congrats on your 1st 2014 trip! All I got accomplished for the Jayco today was pricing some supplies at the local big box hardware store for some upcoming planned mods.

Bruce,
Wow that's crazy for FL

Today I made some X chocks after reading on this forum that they are not replacements for wedge chocks

Exciting two days for my Jay Fliight 26 BH

I live near Fort Worth TX. I am now a two camper owner. For a few years I have owned an Aliner aframe camper. Well on Monday we purchased a 2011 Jay Flight 26 BH that was like new from a dealer in Austin, TX. Wife said she needs more room. I am keeping the Aliner for days I travel alone. Well we pulled the Jay Flight now named "MeMaw's Mobile Mansion" from Austin to Fort Worth in a 40MPH head wind. I must say it was an adventure. TV is a 2013 Expedition with HD tow package. Got the "MMM" home and parked it in front of the house until I had time to trim a few overhanging tree limbs so I can get it into the driveway. The next day (Tuesday) my neighbor an experienced travel trailer tower came over to assist me in backing it into the driveway. As we pulled away from the curb, the right rear swung over and caught on the brick mail box. It ripped the right rear corner open. So we simply drove it to the repair shop and called the insurance company. So far my Jayco has been an experience. I know I will look back on this one day and laugh. Tell me what your first mishap was with your Jayco adventure.

I put another coat of wax on the front cap. That makes 3 coats now, I think.

Turned off and emptied my Norcold after performing a test for my dealer. The cooling unit has died.

Well YESTERDAY I turned on the furnace and did some cleaning in the trailer. Furnace went out after about 15 minutes, not because it had warmed up to temp but the propane bottle ran out, and the other one was turned off. Gotta get that filled now.

Wife Picked up some sheets and blankets for the bunk house
I picked up and installed some tire covers. One for the spare and 2 for the axels.

Remove a foot of snow from around 3 sides of it. Won't see the other side for about another month.

Yesterday I put another coat of wax on the front cap. Today I washed windows and helped Sallie clean the inside of the trailer.
