First time RVer in Phoenix AZ
Last August I purchased a 36000 mile 2004 Jayco Escapade 28G

I am 58 in June and have always thought about getting an RV and I finally did...The first thing I replaced were Shocks and Sway Bars...What a huge improvement that has been...

I enjoy working on the beast and can't seem to stop...before I take my first big trip this summer, I want to make sure that it is dialed in fully...

I look forward to many adventures to come and to learn from each of you and absorb your collective wisdom.

Thanks all
I appreciate your warm welcomes...I am excited about this new stage of life...

I have been working very diligently on re-caulking every seam, stripping off old caulk, painting all plastic, replacing all screws with stainless steel screws. Adding TPMS System, Backup and side cameras. Removing the flooring and replacing it with beautiful vinyl planking, upgrading all light bulbs with LED's...The thing that I can't seem to find is...The vinyl weather stripping that covers the exterior window tracks..

When I began looking for parts and various items,
I was surprised at how poor a job they do on the RV Parts Websites...with the amount of RV's on the road, one would think that parts are ubiquitous...

Congrats and welcome!

It is addictive once you start upgrading/installing/replacing things! Enjoy!!!
