Love the Jay Flight
Just purchased a '17 267BHSW and will be picking it up next Friday. Can't Wait! We sold our pop up and have moved into the TT world. We've got our first vacation planned and we're headed to Fancy Gap, VA later this summer.

I would suggest a couple of weekend trips to shake down the new trailer. If you have any issues that you can't live with you "might" be able to get it in to be fixed before your vacation.

Recommend a VERY THROUGH PDI. Including the roof and accessible plumbing to make sure everything under the sinks are tight.
I spent 2 1/2 hours going thru my PDI.

Great advice! I have planned to do a night or two here locally before the trip.

Great choice! We bought the same one in January. It has worked out great for our family of 5 + my sister and nephew. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures!
I see you're from Jacksonville. I hope you got the 15k btu AC upgrade. You'll want it while camping in the south. We were at the Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, AL a couple weekends ago and the camper got no lower than 75 during the heat of the day.

Also,
If you have a friend who is RV savvy bring them along. Experience can help identify troubles that your dealer might blow off or rush through the process.
Don't be afraid to play hardball.............if you see something serious that needs to be corrected, tell the dealer "you will get your final check after it's fixed".
