New Jayco Owner

Ordered a 2013 X23B a few days ago. Very excited fort first Jayco. I hope it lives up to my expectations. We are upgrading from a pop up TT so this will be a big difference but needed for our young family. Ill be towing with a 2010 Honda Ridgeline. Looking forward to hearing about everyone's experiences and any advice offered.

Congratulation! We love our 23B! One recommendation is to remove the false panel under the sofa, for a shoe storage area. You can also see some of my mods listed in my signature line.

Have a great summer of camping.

please tell me how it tows, I just ordered the x20e which is almost the same floor plan but three feet shorter. I was a little hesitant pulling the x23b with the ridgeline (knowing how my wife packs!).

Will do. My buddy pulls a 23 footer with his ridgeline. It's a few 100 lbs lighter but he lugs around 3 boys and 5 bikes and everything else under the sun. I'll be at the max rated capacity but typical trips around 50-200 miles relatively flat lands. He's had no issues with Ridgeline as TV so I'm hoping for the same.

Thanks. I see your 228 is similar in weights to my 23XB. How do you find towing with the Outlook?

Wait, what? No offense but that sounds like a bad combination. Sounds like way too much trailer for too small a vehicle.

We love our 2013 X23B. We pull it with our 2013 Ford Explorer. It is near the max for towing capacity, but it doesn't struggle with it. The 4WD is geared a bit low, so we tow at 57mph to keep it from revving too much when going up long grades. The features in our Jay Feather are fantastic. I hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours. Can't wait for our first trip of the season. Our 4-year-old Grandson is looking forward to going with us again too. He loves it!

Had a 23b for 4 seasons before trading last fall for 2013 26bh. A great trailer you will love it! Good luck and get out there!
