Maiden Voyage in our Jayco 197 Sport

Moved up from a pop up to our "new to us" 2009 JayFeather 197 Sport. We love it! This was at Burns Run West in Oklahoma (Lake Texoma). Quite a bit different than our 8ft pop-up!

Yeah, no more finger tucks or packing up wet canvas. I am glad your trip was a success. Enjoy your new purchase and happy camping.

Enjoy! We just bought a "new to us" 2008 197 this spring. Nifty little trailers, indeed. Ours was like new, had hardly been used or towed. Check the four long skinny bolts that hold the a/c unit to the roof. Two of mine were way, way loose and water would get in when it rained.

I made a little mod to access the space under the "sofa". http://jaycoowners.com/showthread.php?t=2426

I also added a second battery. http://jaycoowners.com/showthread.php?t=2516

I am going to look into the water pump silencing mod as well, as mine sounds like a Jacobs brake on a semi. http://jaycoowners.com/showthread.php?t=1492

Enjoy your new Jayco. It's a nice looking trailer and a nice concrete parking pad and patio for the site.
