Mine's not a 377 but I had the bumper grill with quick disconnect. I dropped the line and routed it to the other side and put the bracket on the side of the steps. I use a Coleman converted to use regulated LP and a long hose.

However, online ads show a yellow sticker like this, which is confusing:

Perhaps the weight on Jayco's site is without generator installed, or the fuel, or propane tanks.

Anyway, with 525ftlbs torque on my truck, I can believe that 14,500 is the limit. My 40' enclosed race trailer has a 16k GVWR, and it's relatively a bear to get moving even when I'm not fully loaded.

Ok, got to the bottom of this. The dry weight on the Jayco site is bare, no fluids, no options besides the Mandatory ones.

Here is a table of option weights that would get added to this base number, which then would be printed on that yellow sticker. That yellow sticker is not a "generic" weight of a 377RLBH (or any other model), it is the actual weight of your trailer as weighed at the factory:

Called the dealer today to see if I could drop her off next week for the gasket replacement...Thank goodness they were up front and honest with me! Told me to drop it off next week and it would be 3 weeks before they'd look at it, then order the parts from Jayco and repair when the part comes in. I told them what the problem was and what needed to be replaced...but there new policy (Now Camping World) is that a tech has to physically see the issue to get the repair done. I'm gonna call Jayco tomorrow and just see if they'll send it directly to me and I'll replace it myself!

Good luck Dan

I tried getting a new landing leg from my dealer and they told me the same thing...they have to look at it first. It not a CW dealer either.

Yes, good luck! About 5 years back I had an issue with the stereo in our HTT. I called Jayco directly and after a bit of discussion they agreed to send a replacement directly to me as long as I was comfortable with installing it. They even sent a check to cover shipping the bad one back to them. I think times have changed, I’ve not heard of a similar agreement in recent years.

Not a mod but an accessory....Got some of the new Camco leveling blocks today. They are a knock off of the anderson levelers but less expensive. Now, whenever I need to level the trailer before using the auto level, it should be a breeze. (kinda sad that you need to level before using "auto level")

Forgot the pic (or it didn’t happen)

I agree Tom. When I pulled into Trackrock Campground few weeks back my neighbor couldn’t wait to see how the ‘one touch’ leveling worked. He was surprised to see I had to prep the system to be successful. Just made these blocks to help.

Whao, that is a direct copy of the Andersens. Wonder if their patent just expired.

[Magnolia Tom]

The size, shape and design are different than the Anderson, but the idea is the same. These are shorter so no need to trim them if you have axles that are close together. You still get the 4” of lift

But if you have to do all this work to hopefully get the auto-level to work why would someone order it. I'd expect it to work flawlessly if I'd paid for it. I can level my trailer in about 10min using 2x8's I made to fit under the wheels, long ones that cover both and shorts for a single tire. If I can't level with 4.5" on one side then I'm not paying for the site and moving.

On the north point and pinnacle you don’t have a choice. That’s what comes with the trailer as a standard feature (i believe it’s part of a mandatory option that includes a bunch of other things). It’s not the best system at all but it does work if you start off fairly level and you have fully charged batteries.
Once it gets started, the rig is level in less than a minute.

Consider yourselves lucky that y'all can tinker with yours! I dropped mine off at the dealership on Wednesday for (probably) my last warranty repairs, as my warranty is over come February. It'll be 3 weeks before they even look at it; then order parts; wait for parts; then finally repair! I figure 2 months before I see her again.

I guess I'll just have to live vicariously thru y'all!

On a positive note...I just made reservations for 3 nights in June at Trailer Village in Grand Canyon National Park! Just need to plan my route out. I think I'm gonna make this a comparison trip for the kiddos and stop at Palo Duro State Park on the return trip so they can experience the difference (even tho we've been to Palo Duro before), but not back to back!

Just break it up...just finished the planning! Gonna drive to Albuquerque, NM and stay 1 night, then on to Grand Canyon for the 3 days. I'll drive back to Santa Rosa, NM for 1 night and then stay at Palo Duro for 2 nights and then back home. EDIT...The DW just informed me that we will be staying 3 nights in Palo Duro!

You should come with us or meet up! It would be a blast and I could put you to work showing me all your mods...and "helping" me with mine!

[Magnolia Tom]

That would be fun but it took us 2 days just to get to palo duro. I'd need at least 2 weeks away from work because a week would be spent driving. But we could definitely get together sometime!

I'm kinda gonna put you on the spot...It's 18 1/2 hours from Magnolia to the Grand Canyon campground. It's 15 1/2 hours for me (I win)...& yes I've had a couple adult beverages tonight! I'll drive 10 hrs the 1st day and stay the night in Albuquerque, NM and then arrive at the Grand Canyon on 6/21 (Thurs). Then we'll leave & we'll stay the night (6/24) in Santa Rosa, NM and arrive in Palo Duro the next day for 3 nights. The kiddos will be out of school...I'm just saying it'd be fun to meet you...that's all! But...I'm sure there will be other adventures to hook up!
