RLSA I'm told is Rear Living with Side Aisle

Although I haven't done the math I'm also told that the 351 in my model number is square feet.

I updated the list today. However, I'm not sure the "L" in LKTS means "Lovely" because every kitchen is "lovely" to its owner. I looked at the floor plan for this model and noticed that it appears to have an "L" shaped kitchen island. For the definitive answer, though, I'm going to ask Jayco what the "L" stands for.

Murff posted a new one in a thread that made me giggle.

To create a new post, go to the target forum where you want to post (e.g., Jayco Travel Trailers) and click "New Thread"... it's a little black box in the upper left hand corner. Put in your Subject/Title and then your post and hit submit.

You just did!. Congratulations and welcome to JOF! However, I think what you were really asking was how to get a new acronym added to the list. The list can be only updated by the site team members, so just post it here and someone will put it into the list. Occasionally, it takes a while, but it will get added eventually.
