Platform bed lift

We also built an extension for our regular queen sized mattress in our 5er. Just framed it out and plywood for the top. I use the open spaces for storage. We're full-time, so storage and comfort are...

Propane Generator

We bought a Champion dual fuel last fall. We only have 1 AC, and we're stationary, as we're full timers with full time jobs. The Champion 4500 is big enough to keep our 40 ft fiver going with AC on...

We were told on our Designer that there was a built in regulator. We removed our in-line and did some pressure testing. There was indeed. Our new non Jayco fiver also has a built in regulator. It...

Smoke Detector

I just ordered a Kidde combination photo electric smoke detector/CO2 detector from Amazon. $23.00 plus tax.

It's got a 7 year life. Hoping I'll replace the unit before I have to replace the...

blowing out the burner tube made no difference at all. It will heat a tank (6 gal) and then it's out again. Is it the control module that controls the gas flow? And heaven forbid, what is that cost,...

Our 2001 GMC 2500HD 8.1 Crew Cab LWB 4x4 gets about 10 empty, and about 8 towing. We didn't buy it for the mileage. We bought it for the towing capacity. It'll move anything we need it to.

water heater won't stay lit

We have a 1998 Jayco Designer fifth wheel. We are full timers who work, so we aren't home to monitor the hot water heater. Often it is out when it's time to shower, do dishes, etc. Frustration is the...

No, it's only in the slide. That's been the issue...is it or isn't it? So I'll call Jayco today and see if I can get an answer. Whatever they say, I'll post.

Since we'll be in Twin Falls, Idaho tomorrow, a Jayco manufacturing site, I'll make some phone calls. If it has to stay, then we could take Tunce's idea and just shift it toward the kitchen. Thanks!

Support in interior center of 14' slide

A truck driver would call them "load locks" and they are indeed designed to keep things from shifting. A person in the RV park where we live said he forgot to put them in once, and tweaked his slide...

1998 Designer wiring/thermostat issue

I committed (yep, I'm a girl!) the cardinal no-no today and un-did the thermostat without taking a pic of the wiring. I really need some assistance if anyone has contacts or knows where I can get...

It looks as though getting the space and design you want may mean moving to a toy hauler 5er. The Jayco Seismic 3712 is quite a unit. Here's a link to the floorplans...

The Quad Cab gives you room, but not always the towing you'll need. You'll want that 4.7 or the bigger 5.9, depending on what you're towing. I drove a 2000 Dakota with the 4.7 for 8 years. We even...
