New Jay Flight 22FB owner

[wiscamper]

Hi all,

Just brought home a 2011 Jay Flight 22FB. Towed like a dream on the way home behind my Nissan Titan. Only problem was I snapped a cotter pin on my hitch when I was unhooking . If that is the worst thing I will be very happy.
Thanks to everyone here for making my decision an easy one.
One quick question.
With the packet of manuals I received I did not notice anything from Jayco.
Is there usually an owners manual explicitly from Jayco on a new trailer?

Thanks for all the help.

You should have a owners manual, my dealer handed me one when we went over the rv.
Then I also found one in one of the drawers. Good luck with your new camper.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new tt! Yes, there should be an owners manual somewhere...

We have a 2009 22FB. Great compact TT. Let us know if we can help with any questions.

Wow, scary that a cotter pin could fail -anytime-. Call the dealer and let them know that you didn't receive the manual in the packet and request they send you one. When's your maiden voyage... where ya going?

Congrats wiscamper !!! Our '02 had a Jayco manual. It's pretty much generic to the model, with the separate appliance manuals providing more detailed specs.

I luv reading that stuff !!!

Thanks for all the help.
Called the dealer and he is having one sent.
Love reading the stuff my self.

The pin was on the side where you tighten up the chains.
Forgot to pul it out before I losened with the pipe.

Hope to find somewhere close to the Wis Dells in for this weekend.

We went to the Dells last September with our then new tt. We stayed at Christmas Mountain. Nice place, but very difficult to find a level campsite! Someone gave us some extra wood so we could level the tt. Have ya been to the Dells before? We went to the Ringling Bros circus museum. Walked around the little town there. Really neat.

We just returned from a hotel stay near Mackinac Island and wish we had taken the tt with us (left it parked at the fairgrounds in Milwaukee). But spoke with several who were camped at different CG's near Mackinaw City and were really enjoying themselves.

You're from Wisc right? Do you know of anywhere close to Milwaukee that rents kayaks?

I keep thinking that one of these days I'm going to unhook the WD chains, put down the bar and drive away, leaving the darn thing where it sits!

Congratulations on the new TT - they're a great product!

If you're in a real hurry you can go to the Jayco website and request a .pdf manual from customer service. It's an online form you fill out with your trailer VIN number. I did this about a week before I picked up my trailer and they emailed it to me within an hour or so. It let me get a head start on learning about the trailer. Congrats on the new purchase.

Great info RedWing !!!! Thanks .....

[wiscamper]

Thanks RedWing!

As for kayak rentals near Milwaukee, I don't know of any.
Live just outside of Madison

When I picked up our Jayco Skylark the manual was also missing. I did exactly like RedWingsFan stated. Send a request to Jayco customer service and they will email you a .pdf copy of the manual. Plus about a week later a hard copy arrived in the mail with a letter from Jayco. Congrats on your new TT.

Welcome to the forum Wiscamper and congrats on the new purchase.

Took it out this weekend for a quick two night trial run. No problems so far.
Didn't use any water hook-ups or take any with. Just ran it dry for the first time. We never used the water hook-ups in our pop-up so that part is new for us. Did have a little "fun" towing it there in the high winds. Came home fine though without the gusts.
Hope you all had a great l long weekend!
