New Jayco Octane 222
Picking up my new 2017 Octane 222 tomorrow.

First camper. A little nervous. Four hours from the house.

Wish me luck and feel free to impart any advice.

Do a VERY THOROUGH walk through and PDI. Take lots of notes. Have them show you and then repeat what they showed you.

Get your hitch set up right. Watch them do it. Walk through that with them. See if you can get it all set up and then take it for a quick ride for a couple miles and then come back and double check the settings.
4 hours is to long to just wing it on the first set up.

Trip went great. Took her out in the maiden voyage last weekend and had a great time.

Going on a 3 day trip this weekend.
