Am I just dreaming or is this real?
My name is Richard and I am new to the Jayco Owners community.
Recently we purchased a 2014 Jay Flight SLX 184bh because we fell in love with it since it reminded us of the camper we had years back and regretfully sold.
After 5 years with no camper, were pumped to finally get back into the camping game and on the very first trip we quickly realized what a mistake we had made. Two adults, a teenager, our very large Chocolate Lab and plump old kitty found each other elbow to elbow and our waste water tanks were full after just a few hours out! What a mistake we had made choosing the 184bh!
This brings us to today, where we now can call our cramping problems solved since we just sealed the deal on a brand new 2018 Jayco JayFlight 242bhs!
I feel like this is a dream! We are so excited to move up to this beautiful spacious home away from home. We take possession of our new Jayco next week and we’re so excited.
Good thing our “old” 2014 is a very desirable model, we’re told, and should sell quickly!
I can’t wait to add my personal touch with some custom modifications and additions such as a Solar system, central vac, and more.
It will be so hard to wait until next Friday! In the meantime, you can bet I’ll be here, soaking in all the info and learning from the many experiences of other Jayco owners on here.
Here’s to many many years of camping memories to come! God Bless!
Rick

Thanks! I couldn’t sleep with all this excitement and decided to browse the site and stumbled across BigJohn’s gold mine of amazing modding ideas and I just can’t stop reading! https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...-30052-18.html
Can’t wait to get started on some of my own improvements. Will definitely be posting pics of my future projects!
Thanks for the warm welcome!
