I sure am going to have some questions for you all.

Hey folks.

My name is Johnny and I've worked at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital since I retired from the U. S. Navy in 2008.

I just traded in my 2012 Jayco 1206 pop-up for a Jayco Jay Flight 26BH. I don't pick it up until Tuesday, but I spent some time today walking through it for the third time and I am still pretty excited about the upgrade.

I've never towed anything bigger than a 16 foot trailer before, but hey, you've got to start somewhere, right?

I am going to have a ton of questions for those of you who have experience, so I decided to go ahead and create an account here.

I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you and learning all that I can so that maybe I can avoid some of the mistakes that newbies make.

Welcome and congratulations on your new purchase.
Lots of great folks here.
It's interesting just to read through some threeads too when you have a chance.
People do a lot of cool stuff to set their campers up to suit thier needs better.
I also learn a lot reading through troubleshooting someone elses problem.
That way if it happens to me, I already have an idea of what to check.

Best regards,
Doug

When were you in Millington?

Just wanted to say Thanks for putting in some hours at Children's. It takes some very, very special people to work there every day.

Thanks.

I appreciate that. I really do. There are aspects of working there that are difficult, but the rewards are definitely worth it.

Yep, that was a while back brother. My first tour started in 1988. I worked at the student PSD that time.
