Proud new owner of a 2016 25bh

Anyone have any reviews of this model? My mistake it’s a 2017.

Congrats. We have a 17 25bh as well. It is a great camper for us and I am sure that you will love it as well. We pull it with a 17 ram 1500 with 3.92 gears. We are also using a blue ox wdh rated for 1k/10k. My truck is new but I will say that proper inflation of the tires is very important. My truck came with p rated tires and I air them up to 40 front and 44 rear. I am not changing the tires yet as they are new. Also, just to give a ballpark as to the weights, tongue weight is 900 lbs and loaded we are under 7k lbs. We do not travel with water and pack fairly light as well. One of my favorite features is the outside kitchen. We use it everytime for every meal. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks we are very excited for the snow to melt so we can get out unit. The weight was a big selling feature for us. I tow with a 2017 f150 5.0 3.31 gears so had to make sure i stayed under my maxes. We upgraded from a 2016 X213

We just bought a 2018 25BH and made one short trip. Love it!

I ordered a Zinus memory foam mattress from Amazon which will be here in a couple of days. I was actually ok with the stock mattress + feather bed top but my wife wasn’t comfy.

Also adding a Progressive Industries EMS for protection.

Pulling with a 2007 F150.

So first trip out of the way and not to happy.... almost all water lines were loose and leaking... still a leak near hot water tank I can’t find. Trim around slide starting to come off.. the screws don’t go into anything. One of the windows won’t open with out actually forcing and shaving the metal off. Found a huge hole in the heating duct under the bottom bunk. Staples in the roof are starting to push up through the rubber. Waiting to hear back from the dealer and see what kind of service I get from jayco

We have a 2018 25BH, took it out last weekend for the first time. Sorry to hear you are having so many problems. I have not noticed anything obvious so far. I added a 4" memory foam topper to the bed and it's pretty comfortable. I work midnight shift and many weekends so the wife complained about not being able to clean house while I'm sleeping. I found I could sleep fairly well in the RV after putting blackout material in the windows.

This is only my 2nd trip in an RV and it poured down rain most of the weekend so we were stuck inside most of the time. Maybe a rookie mistake but the wife wanted the awning out so we could get out the door without getting soaked. I set the pins to max tilt but water still pooled on the awning. I hit the button to bring it back in and the one side collapsed. After I got all the rain off of it I got the arm to go back in place but now when I extend the awning to near full open, it keeps going out instead of stopping. It stops just before I'm afraid of it going too far, I was told not to go past a certain point. I keep it set up with the bump out extended in my driveway for use as a man cave and haven't noticed any problems so far. I still need to check underneath to look for any issues. I have a 2013 F-150 5.0 and it really has to downshift going uphill. Otherwise, haven't had an issue towing it.

One issue I have is backing it into the driveway. There is no way around it, I have to drive into the yard to back it in and that means tearing up the lawn. Because of that and the wife having no idea how to assist with helping to guide me back I bought a dolly to move it around. https://www.trailervalet.com/shop/tr...SABEgI0svD_BwE However, I found that it does not work with what Trailorvalet said is a hybrid type of hitch. When I tried to turn with it, one wheel comes off the ground and the whole thing nearly falls over. At least I was able to return it to Amazon with no restocking fee.
