Out of sight, out of mind...

Hi all - long time without posting, good to be back!


Over the past couple seasons, our trailer has been more of an afterthought than I'd like to admit. We moved to the coast and it gets used as...

We also use the Big Buddy - got one on recommendation from Seann. It works great. We sleep with it on low when it's really cold. It takes up a lot of space, but we usually just set it up at night....

Bluestreak: It seems that the onboard furnace is one of the major drains on the batteries when you don't have hookups. I also found it to be pretty heavy on propane usage - especially during the...

How far can you turn without moving the slider? Looks like you have pretty good clearances other than the leveling issue. I'd like a 5'er eventually. I'm not sure if there's any real reason, or if...

We survived!

We always go big, so for our first ever boondocking outing, we went for 6 nights at 3 different locations. I have such a list of good potential spots compiled, we wanted to try a few...

I towed a 29' Jay Feather with dry weight of about 5000 lbs. I think you would be fine with either. I also had the equalizer, and it drove like it was on rails, although I wouldn't have towed much...

If you have the max payload/tow package, you might be legal and within specs of the truck. I know the newer F150's are available with pretty high ratings.

Another 29QBH'er. It's a great trailer IMO and we've really enjoyed ours. We like that it has plenty of sleep space and some privacy, but the bunkhouse isn't a full separate room so it still...

Has anyone added a voltimeter?

I just purchased an inexpensive LCD screen voltimeter to keep track of my battery power when boondocking. I plan to wire it up soon - probably with a switch of some type so it's not always on.

Jay Flight 29QBH. I think Jay Flight trailers are one of the best values out there for the buck! So far it's been very durable, comfortable, and fun.

Thanks! I was hoping we could get by without the fan! It seems like researching around, most don't need it but I was curious about your experience since your trailer is similar in size to mine.

Seann,

Do you use the fan in your Big Buddy heater while boondocking? It appears that most do not and I imagine it would use a decent amount of juice with the AC adapter through an inverter.

I've heard that the 12v outlet (I do have one there...) may or may not cut it for what I'm trying to do. Has anyone tried this? It sure would be easier!
