Hello from Northern Nevada. 😎
I just bought a new (to me) Jayco Jay Flight 29RKS. It’s a 2017. The previous owner had it for two years and used it twice, once each year. It’s still like new, but without the new price. 
It replaced a 1978 prowler that hasn’t aged well. The previous owner of my old trailer did some weird stuff. I’m glad to have the new trailer.

Welcome from Western New York State! Congrats on the great find. I haven't seen one of those Prowlers since '88. A previous GF had one, but two tone green.
May the JayFlight give you many happy memories!

Man is it nice to just flip a switch and the water heater is on. Then walk to the fridge and flip a switch and its on. Sooooo much easier then lighting the pilot light manually on both units from the outside of the trailer. That would usually take several minutes for each one to get them up and going on the old trailer.

How many times did that Prowler go out to Burning Man. We had a 1978 Wilderness (took out the "ER" and called it the Wildness) that went to the playa 6 different times. Congrats on the new trailer.

It hasn’t been to burning man. It’s always been in the forest at that time of year.

The new trailer has been out to Burning Man twice. It supposedly never left the asphalt. The previous owner only used the trailer twice, both times at Burning Man. He's a deputy with Washoe County Sheriffs Department. He would use it to stay in while he was out there working the event.
