110v Outlets 145RB

Hi All, I've been researching the 2018 145RB SLX and watching YouTube videos. The only visible 110v outlet in the video is located on wall over counter. Are there any other outlets in this model?
I'm looking at a model with the roof air. Not sure if they leave the 110v outlet in the upper cabinet that would be used for the side mount a/c.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

There are usually several outlets around the floor on just about all models. One in the cabinet if you have a microwave and at least one or two around the tv hookups. You do not see low wall outlets in youtube videos. I would be very surprised if any of the new models do not have several outlets low on the walls.

Thank you for the heads up on that.
Hoping also a 145RB owner will chime in.

Can't speak to a 2018 model but on our 2013 145RB we have a factory outlet above kitchen counter, one under the dinette and one on the sofa base near the exterior door. My Wife says "not enough" but we make it work.

I will work with power strips to increase my capacity.
Thanks so much.

Now the million dollar question:
Since your 145 is approximately three years old is there anything structurally or mechanically I should keep an eye on?

Other than routine maintenance (wash, wax, check seams on roof, grease bearings, maintain tire pressures, etc) we have not had any major issues. Early models had a problem with water infiltrating from A/C pan into the trailer wall. Our trailer was fixed and I believe Jayco fixed this on later models. I must admit that when we are in hot summer weather and are using A/C, I do ensure that the trailer is levelled with a slight tilt to the side the A/C is on.

Only other issue with 145rb and similar SLX trailers is they sit low - the cleanout pipe is only approx. 10 inches off the ground. Be careful when going up or down steep drives, etc so you don't bottom out. It has not been a problem for us yet but we are getting an axle flip in April to give us 4-5 inches more lift.

Thanks again for your quick response.
My unit is equipped with the roof air so that will eliminate the issues with the side mount air but also takes away my center roof vent.
I plan on only using Dicor products on the roof which I believe is a DiflexII material.
My previous campers were fiberglass roof so rubber is new for me. I'm hoping it will be resiliant to the occasional tree branch.
I also plan to flip the axle.
I was worried about the front window leaks i've read about but I will carry a can of brushable Pro-Flex RV with me.

Thanks again for your input.
I hope I'm as happy with mine as you are with yours.
Planning to leave for South Carolina Saturday morning for the shake down trip.

So curiosity is killing me.
Do they eliminate the upper 110v receptacle when they delete the side mount A/C...
I will soon find out...

Keep in mind you only have 30 amps to begin with and a power strip could be your biggest enemy. Hope this chart helps with your distribution of power.
