New to the site

Just now stepping in. Just purchased our Jayco Eagle 28.5.We travel a lot in the mountains of the west and considering the other areas of the country. Came here looking for advice on repairs and where to find items such as the grill For the rear bumper mount, And the solar panels for the plug in that came with it. I'm sure there will be many many questions as we go, but haven' dug through it enough to figure it all out. Thanks for the add.

Welcome to the club, so to speak!


On the solar, we've been considering this as well for our NP 383FWS, but
mostly to recharge the batteries, w/ minimal direct power usage.


Most what we've read has steered us toward RENOGY Renogy 400W Monocrystalline Solar RV Kit with 30A Charger Controller

Depending on you specific usage and application, there are many options, however this works directly with the prefab on the JAYCOs.

Welcome aboard.

Cannot help with solar.

For the grill, I recommend not purchasing a RV grill. Most people do not like them, and replace them with something else. Many grills can be adapted to use the onboard propane quick connect

I'll second that. I recommend just buying a table top portable grill, and getting a long quick connect hose to plug into the rig. Will give a lot more flexibility on use (like being able to grill under the awning when raining).
