It is my understanding that running a 'cleaner' in your fuel will not reduce or eliminate valve coking in DI engines as the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder and does not flow over the...

We replaced our old and gold 2001 GMC 2500HD (8.1/Allison) with a 2015 F350 Powerstroke last year. Great truck with low miles (about 77,000) but I was planning a cross country trip and just didn't...

My mistake - the unit is a Jay Flight not a Jay Feather so it's not a lightweight unit saving ounces by using lightweight materials and it's still falling apart.

I didn't need or want a...

Or is that an oxy-moron?

We have owned our 2015 Jay Flight 26RKS for 2 years now and have put about 6000 miles on it. After the initial pleasure of having a new unit, the interior quality or lack...

My power jack will stop working at random times without blowing the fuse. I pull the fuse and reinsert and it starts working again. I have no idea why.

I've also had a couple of glitches with the power jack on my 2015 26RKS. Blew a fuse once as water had gotten into the little fuse holder and shorted things out, I guess. Replaced the fuse and ok but...

Did that trip a few years ago on my Harley and had a great time. Would I tow my trailer on that road - NO! Beautiful drive if you have the right vehicle otherwise a bit too hairy for me.

Exactly! Same here. I have no issues whatsoever hitching up but getting the ball out of the coupler is ALWAYS a pain.

We're heading out next week so we'll see how it goes. Some good ideas here...

Heard back from Jayco support who said I might have a bad coupler that will need to be cut off and a replacement welded back in place as a warranty repair. Wow, a bit more drastic a fix than I was...

Sounds like this is a very common problem with our trailers for some reason. I sent an email to Jayco about this but haven't heard back yet.

I found the little rubber cap that seals the antenna coax run was not pushed down and sealed as it should be on our new unit. Quick fix but it should have been done at the factory or during pdi.

Hello from Vancouver Island

Picked up our new 2015 Jay Flight 26RKS a couple of weeks ago and am pretty happy with it so far. A few issues but nothing serious so hope it stays that way. :)
