Congrats on your 351RLTS rickjp. We've been thinking about that one too but can't find a local dealer who has one in stock for us to take a look at. Closest one is 4 hours away . I did google it and saw a bunch of pics and a couple youtube videos on the 2011 model. It really looks like a great camper, hope you enjoy it.

Same problem here. Where are they all?

Wife and I both also where having fits finding one to view. Never did. From Charlotte to Orlando and Tampa bay..... (really though Jayco didn't build that model any longer or if they ever did). We went to a couple shows and saw a few that matched her criteria...imagination played into the search. Ordered it sight unseen from Terrell rv: just north of Charlotte....
Hopefully she can begin nesting by the end of April....I drive and do what Im told....HOWEVER.......the basement is all mine. Have a 09' 303 RKS Jayco presently, trading same, with SOME storage. Looks like the 351 has 4 times the storage capacity ...... Just right...!

Don't lose any sleep over the trucks ability. You may need to add air bags or in my case Timbrens. It did fine without them.

You will be better able to determine if you need any additional items when you tow it a little.

Welcome to the forum. We purchased a 2012 351RLTS in November and really like it. We left for Florida 1 week after taking delivery and have had almost no problems. Some minor but overall very pleased. It is like having our own condo. I tow it with a Dodge 2500 Cumins. Unit and truck set level and tows well. Thought I might need air bags, but now glad I didn't purchase them as I don't need them. We also really like the thermo windows.

Have fun!

Nice Choice. We are hoping to order our 321RLTS in a week or so. The slight difference in weight between the 351 and 321 will keep me from having to upgrade my license from DZ to A(R). In Ontario, the A is for Road Tractor (Semi) and the R is restriction for a combination when the toad vehicle is over 4600 kilos (10,141 lbs) even though it is only a 3/4 ton pickup/trailer combination. That classification would require yearly medicals and after the age of 65 a yearly rewrite. Lots of bother!
As for air springs, I started to look at air ride pin boxes and realized that in fact air springs would do the same thing, after talking to a co worker that uses them on the same truck as mine for towing a trailer to move a back hoe from job site to job site. The second feature was the ability to raise and lower the truck box containing the hitch, reducing the travel of the front leveling jacks and the ability to level out the combination. So I opted for the deluxe package and had an on board compressor added. It has been very handy for manouverability and dampering the rough roads. Now with the option of the Mor/ryde pin box it should be even smoother.

Finally found one in Illinois and drove 2 hours one way to look at it yesterday - very nice! Long trip, yes, but worth it and glad we finally got to see one. Congrats on yours.
