Having lived on both sides of the mountains I agree with Hoppers4. Not only is the water heater exposed, but the outside shower, assuming you have one is also a concern. We saw some cold temps when...

You might be a redneck if your wife ever told you to get the transmission out of the tub so she can take a bath.

Our 23FB's floor plan is almost identical to your unit. It is just the two of us with three small dogs and we find the size just about perfect. We wanted a trailer that was easily towed by a half...

Smile Winterizing

If you have an outside shower don't forget to drain those lines too. Easy to over look when you are concentrating on the inside of the TT. 2 gals are probably enough but not a bad idea to get a...

For winter

I suggest not using your stabilizers as they become four more ways critters can get in your tt. Also, dont forget to drain the outside shower if you have one. That one is easy to forget. I also...

genny choice

Just my opinion but I was camped in a forest service campground and a guy had the Champion 4000 sold by Cabela's. When he ran it you could hear it over half this large campground. Maybe you could...

water damage

If possible, leave the windows open some for air exchange. Also fans and a dehumidifier will help dry it out. I think you got to it fast enough and the fact the water is clean and not black water...

similar trailer

AS you can see, we have a very similar Jayco with a dry weight of 4700#. Frankly I would not tow with less than a 5.3 V8. The 22FB has a dry weightt of around 4300 #. I think you are asking for...

I agree with David, Jayco really needs to rewrite the owners manual on the city water/gravity fill question. It has thrown alot of us at first.

Relief Valve

Every propane tank has one. On a 20# cylinder it is located on the back side of the main valve. I am inclined to think the tank may have been sitting out in the hot sun and it built up too much...
