Newbies!

Hi all!

We just bought our rig and will be having it delivered to James Island, SC campground by the dealership. Our Camp Host agreement goes until May 2018 so we will have plenty of time to research a towing vehicle, if at all. We will be moving it to our land on Edisto Island, SC after the assignment to live in it the last 6 months of the build, hopefully to be completed by the end of 2018!

Already planning modifications but how do we know how we can attach an awning, drill a hole to attach garage doors, etc? Is there a build schematic that shows stud placement, electrical placement, plumbing? And I bet doing some mods will void warranty?

Also would love to hear about your best ideas for modifications. We are thinking about just using the hauler area for bedroom and making the front bedroom storage system. We need to maximize our outdoor space. Did I mention we also have 3 labradors and my spouse hates camping? LOL, should be quite the adventure!

Welcome to the forum, you will find members with a lot of knowledge. The easiest thing for you is to call Jayco and ask them for plumbing, building, and electrical schematics of your rig. They provide them when asked. Are you going to do a pre-delivery inspection prior to having them ship it.

[chellamaral]

They walked us through before putting it in storage and they said that they would be detailing it before delivery. I feel we should meet them for final inspection and then follow them to campground.

I will be calling the dealership to finalize the date of delivery so I can ask them about doing another inspection. Thanks!

I am attaching a "final walk through" checklist for you to reference if need be. Good luck!!! We love our TT and will be leaving for a 2 week trip to Zion and Bryce in early November.

It sure sounds like it will... let the games begin. James Island CG lookalike a pretty cool place. We'll be passing by there in Dec. traveling from Edisto Beach CG to Buck Hall CG. We'll have to check it out for future reference.

James island has a ton to offer! We will be taking advantage although not a big fan of gaudy Holiday displays...apparently they have the 3rd most attended Holiday of Lights display in the nation and some have reported a 3 hour wait to get into the park. They hire 17 Camp Host couples during this time to work the fest, so we will be safety "eyes and ears"

I am assuming you were able to rebook reservation beachside at Edisto? We really wanted to Camp Host there, but since the Loops are closed...Our land is 1/2 mile from that campground.

We were able to rebook; we'll be staying at the beach campground. We've been going there for years; great place.

Another newbie question.


Any idea of where the two water heater bypass valves are physically located for 2018 Jay Feather X213? Schematic is provided in Jayco owner's manual, but not actual location. Manufacturer's owner's manual is silent.


Need to sanitize potable water system before first use.


Thanks in advance.

I called Jayco yesterday for schematics and they said they were emailing but I haven't received yet. They have one for structural and plumbing but said they couldn't sent electrical until warranty runs out. Just have your VIN number handy.
