RV Show--We just went to "look!"
Four days after perusing the wonderful trailers at the show, we drove to our nearest dealer, and in an hour we were the proud owners of a 2015 JAY FEATHER SLX 16XRB! We traded in our 1992 Jayco Thrush and feel like we have really moved up in the world. I will NOT miss those elastic cords beneath the Thrush beds! For the first time in almost 30 years I have a BATHROOM of my own! :-)
So now I'm looking forward to spring--which seems very far away. In the meantime I will be lurking on the Jayco forum and enjoying the news and information available here!

That is awesome. We were at the show Sunday. We try to make it every year to see what's new. Congrats on the new unit.

Congratulations on the new trailer and enjoy the forum.
If you haven't already, try the 'search' for the site. There's a lot of information in there, too.

Congrats on the new rig!
That's the reason we're not allowed to go to the boat show, we'd be leaving with one I'm sure!!

We did the same thing in 2012. Also walked into the Ford dealership same year and walked out with a new truck. Whew! Now we're kickin around the idea about getting a 5th wheel. Anybody have any extra cash laying around they don't want?

RV (and boat) shows are dangerous places. The ticket ought to come with a warning like the drug commercials have:
"Visiting RV Shows can have serious side effects and may be addictive! If you experience euphoria, wanderlust, heart palpitations, or two-foot-itus, discontinue use immediately. Consult your Jayco professional if your RV Show visit lasts longer than four hours!" 
Seriously, congratulations and enjoy your new RV!

I hear ya!
The DW and I are lookin' at trading in our X23B for a Jayco whitehawk 27dsrl....
The DW says "There's one thing I like about our trailer".....
Me "What's that??"....
DW "We own the title".....
She makes a good point.
