28bhs in our sights...

Hoping to get some feedback on this camper. Anybody willing to tell me what they think of theirs?

Welcome to the forum. We bought one 4 1/2 years ago, been pretty much trouble free and a solid unit. We have 3 boys so its a bit tight at times but we manage.

I wish I bought the 28bhs instead of the 26bh.

28bhs

We have owned a 2013 28BHS for about 6 months, and thus far I have had to fix several minor things. That said, the trailer has been used about 8 times and we have really enjoyed it. The front bead room is very nice, and my Wife loves the L shape kitchen.

One thing to keep in mind, the tongue weight with two batteries, and full propane tanks is a bit on the heavy side ~850lbs without the 96 gallons of water on board. Given the weight of the unit, be sure to have enough TV before purchasing. I did things the wrong way and ended up with a new TT and a new TV.

All-in-all I have very happy with the floor plan, and I got a screaming deal on a new 13' 17K before TLD with every option available.

I bought a 28BHS last summer after upgrading from a popup. Like others, I have had no major trouble with it. Just a few minor things that go with all TT. I like the kitchen right by the door, as it seems that food going in and out is common with our family. I use it off the grid quite a bit also and the large freshwater capacity is a huge advantage. I have an F150, which handles it OK but I'm glad its not bigger. Very happy so far!

My DW and I purchased a 2012 unit last year and have it at our seasonal site. Used it up to the end of season just about every weekend. Only problems we had was Jayco drove a screw through the wiring on one of our kitchen lights, and a small water leak on the TV antenna due to a poor caulking job at the factory. We're very happy with ours, comfortable, warm. I did relocate the water pump out from the kitchen cabinet to beside the furnace and few other minor mods.

We have a 2007 29BHS and love the layout. The only difference that we can find between the 28 and 29 is that the bunk area is longer. My wife loves the space of the L-shaped kitchen.
