Bought the 264BHW as a show special to see if we really liked camping as we didn't want to spend a lot of money at first.
Used it for 2 years and loved it! We learned exactly what we wanted in the process and the 29.5BHDS fits that bill very closely.
The wife loves the new Modern Farmhouse color and I love the extra outdoor storage and outdoor kitchen compared to what we had. Ordered a few options like fireplace, auto-level, 2nd AC, MORryde pin box, etc. so it is well equipped.
The ONLY things we could want on top of this model is more counter space and more storage in the kitchen area. Other than that, it's perfect for our family.
Now, what do you do to pass the time until it's delivered?!?!!

I just finished my PDI yesterday on a 2018 29.5 BHDS. Big step up from my 2012 tent trailer.

No one was asking, but....
Jayco no longer does the transporting so it's out of their control. When Jayco is done building, the transport company is notified. The transport company takes the unit from Jayco to their location.
The transport company then needs to assign the delivery to a driver. For the larger trailers, there are fewer drivers with a suitable truck so in some cases it takes longer for a driver to become available.

Yes, for the last 29 years. It's a beautiful place..........it's the driest city in Western Washington. Only 12 to 15 inches of rain a year. It's nicknamed The Blue Hole. 78 miles west of us is a little town called Forks that gets 78 inches on average per year! We're going full time the end of May so will be saying goodbye to Sequim!

We are getting our new 29.5BHOK tomorrow, got the party sofa and a few other add ons. Moving up from a Jayco 26BH.
Really looking forward to the larger rooms and outside kitchen.

Congratulations. What was the original build date you were told? I ordered a 29.5BHOK the week after you and still waiting for confirmation from my dealer that it was even built. We were first told April 23rd then May 8th as the offline date. Now I am told it is not built yet... Congratulations again I am jealous your wait is almost over.

Picked her up a week ago from the dealer and broker her in at James Island this past weekend. Great trip, but hot!
Turns out, it's a 2020!
Mounted a 50" in the outdoor kitchen!

congratulation on the camper !!! We picked ours up in January and love it. No major problems so far. About the trash can , we use a step on pop up lid at the end of the counter between there and the table. Works out great even in winter as it blocks the heater vent and pushes more towards the bedroom . We are in Ga so 2nd ac was a must. Its now working great. I did have to go in and adjust some water lines around behind the wall in front compartment as when i used the on board pump the lines rattled and hit the inner wall causing a loud noise. That was a easy fix. Also added new larger battery's in front battery compartment. 3 x group 24s. fit in nice and snug with rubber mat under them. Hope you enjoy yours as we do with ours. Ps. the outside grill works great but im thinking about making a lid just for better grilling.

Thanks! We have a very small pop up trash can, but I think the end of the counter would be a good spot. I will probably add another battery as well.
I have a 17" Blackstone griddle, so not sure how often I'll use the grill. I was actually thinking about taking it out and putting in another drawer.
