Hello

Hi everyone. Another newbie to the JOF, but not new to camping. My wife and I are on our fourth TT spread over the last 30 years. Our friend Hurricane Harvey took the 3rd one from us but we recently purchased an clean used 2015 Jayco Eagle 338RETS and are thoroughly loving it! This is by far the heaviest TT I’ve owned but my F-250 seems to handle it ok. I’ve been impressed by all of the good information already found on this site. It’s been a great help to figure out where everything is and how it works in this new TT. Look forward to meeting/conversing with other members.

Dennis

Sorry to hear that Harvey paid you a visit. The morbid side of me wonders if you have any photos you could post of the damage.

Anyway, that aside, welcome to Team Jayco!

Happy trails and good adventures!

The damage wasn’t readily noticeable in pictures. It was a 2011 32’ Passport.The water came in from rain water blowing in around A/C and all of the vents on the roof. I tried to clean up the water ASAP but the damage was done. Within a few weeks, it was like walking on the trampoline inside. The ceiling had also gotten very wet. The adjuster did me right by totaling.
