Hello all!!
My girlfriend and I have recently purchased our first camper!! Its a 1973 Jayco 22ft travel trailer that I believe to be a Jay Queen. We aren't new to camping by any means but with our expanding family it was time for something more than a tent!!

Welcome to the forum. What shape is your 1973 Jayco in? Did you have to do any restoration work on it?

Not as of yet...it does need a little bit of work on the back wall...some of the framing is rotted...but other than that it is pretty solid and we are going to camp in it as is for this season. I would like to find an owners manual and a blueprint for it so I can decide if I want to do some restoration on it or if I want to gut it and make it my own this winter.

Welcome, there is a lot of info on this form. Everyone will share their knowledge. Some is posted in other areas and some knowledge is still in the brains of members. Have fun and enjoy.

Sounds like an ambitious and fun project. "They don't make 'em like that anymore"!
