Just picked our 23B up this past Monday and we are sooo jealous of your weather. Here in Michigan were not going to be camping anytime soon due to the snow. A couple more inches are supposed to be coming this weekend. sigh....

Very nice pictures. And you got a better deal than we did (by a few K!) Where did you go on your maiden voyage? We have yet to take our first trip, pretty wet weather right now, and we haven't done the "waterproofing" on the tents that the handbook says is a must before first trip.

We did not do the waterproofing that the book said for a few trips and it rained every trip for the first year we had it. We had no leaking at all.

Well thank you! That's good to know. .. maybe I'm just a little scared to make the first trip and am over thinking it all?

What is the difference between a 23 J and a 23 B? (we have the 23 B)

the 23 j is very similar except for the table is on the left when you walk in instead of in front of the front bunk next to that is the fridge on the other side you have the kitchen and a sofa that is all on a slide. It is a great set up. My wife and I fell in love with the 23b until we saw the 23J, we bought that model because you didnt have to crawl over the table to get into the front bunk

Ah! Never thought about having to crawl over the table. I guess we'll learn to deal with it. We did not have a lot of options on different models to choose from here in Northern/Central California area. We just knew we wanted a Jayco based on user reviews (and also the warranty!)

The table is not really ever in our way. Once setup we rotate the table 90 degrees as shown below. It also is a bonus area for prepping for meals in the configuration.

When you are logged in, at the top is a tab called “Settings”, click on it. On the left side is a number of items you can edit.

We rotate the table the other way when going to to bed for the night.

In our x20e, our table goes outside under the awning. Don't really miss it in the camper as we normally eat outside. Really opens up the inside without the table.
