Hello new to Jayco (actually Starcraft owner)

Hello everyone. We just purchased a NTU 2011 Starcraft Travelstar 187tb hybrid travel trailer. We came from a 2002 Coleman popup. My wife and I have 3 young(ish) kids and we are very excited to use the trailer. First trip is for a 2 day trail run 2 weekends from now. First, I have to de-winterize and familiarize myself with the plumbing system which is a new world to us. I've already installed LED awning lights and a separate dimmer switch to control it and did the fence post with gutter tray sewer hose storage mod. Hoping to learn lots from this forum.

CONGRATULATIONS on the JAYCO!!!

...and WELCOME TO JOF!!! The members here are GREAT!!! There is a lot of GREAT information to be found here. I am sure that you will have information and pictures to share with us... so please do!!

Thanks everyone. Yes, I noticed that there isn't much activity on the StarCraft forum, so I came here instead. I have to dewinterize for the first time this weekend, replacing tires that are almost 7 years old (they still look really good, but don't want to take the risk) and have done minor mods (installed led awning light with dimmer switch, did the sewer hose gutter mod, and some hangers and clips for storage compartment). We take it camping on 4/21 for a quick 2 day shakedown. Can't wait.

Thanks again.
