Welcome from Wisconsin. Congrats and enjoy your 2017 JayFlight slx baja edition 175rd. Make sure you get a full orientation of how everything works and do a complete and thorough PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection). Don't let them rush you thru this. If something isn't right have them fix it before you sign any more papers and hand over any more $. Otherwise you'll be at their mercy to get it fixed. Do a search for PDI checklists and print one off to take with you.

Understand the PDI. Fortunately two of my daughters work at this Camping World so not only did I get the Dad deal, I am getting some extra attention. walk thru is at 9am tomorrow so I will post the outcome after.

Welcome aboard! I feel as you might have better luck than most with Camping Worlds (I have no experience with them).

Take your time with the PDI, ask a LOT of questions. If needed go back and re ask questions on something they may have already covered. Before leaving make sure to do a mental walk through of all systems. Even simple things like how to get the tv to play over the ceiling speakers.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I did the PDI and closed the deal. Very happy with the unit. Added a second group 24 battery in parallel, switched out the 30 pound propane tank for a 40 that I had in the shop. Reserved a rv park slot in Estes Park next weekend as a shake out trip to learn how to do full hookups. Portable. Solar will be delivered on Tuesday. Misc items to complete the install of the dish tailgater system ordered. So very satisfied today.
