We went through all of this as well and just put a down payment on the white hawk 24mbh. 27bhs was too heavy and I wanted plywood floors but lighter weight. The white hawk covered all of this for us.

We put a down payment on a 27bhs this weekend. I recently bought a tundra crewmax 5.7 and payload is now my concern as well. I can't believe Jayco has an Eagle HT line if you look at the dry specs....

If you were comparing the same floor plan in a 5th to a trailer the answer would be fifth wheel all the way. However the 24mbh would be a pretty easy tow for those trucks with the right setup. We...

I keep my battery on a battery tender at all times. I might do a disconnect later but it keeps me from worrying about it.

The manual states that the Eco switch must be in the same position on both units. So you can use it as long as they are in the same spot. I use it all the time for AC after initial start up as others...

Has anyone seen any 2017 jay feathers yet? My current camper might sell soon so I could pull the trigger on a 2016 but I am curious still on the 2017's with them just around the corner.

Are there any good rule of thumb estimates you can use to predict what a camper will be worth in 5 years vs what it costs new, perhaps as a percentage?

My dilemma is we are now a family of 5 with...
