Walking on the floor of the slide while closed

[sd396]

My 2016 23mbh has that same problem. Not sure what the manual says but I would never step on or sit in the dinette when it's retracted. I won't even travel with the table set up. It's just too wobbly. I am also careful how much weight we put in the cabinets below the seats for the same reason.

When pulled over at rest areas or other places for a quick lunch we would like to use this area. What are the guidelines/rules regarding the use of the slide?"

The response from Jayco was,
"Good morning,

There is nothing wrong with sitting inside the unit while the slide out is not extended.

You may have lunch in there.

Thank you,"

As far as Jayco is concerned you can use the slide when not deployed. I still error on the side on caution and use only when needed when not deployed.

I honestly dont think folks at Jayco really know their trailers and what they can and can not do.
I asked this question and below are the replies. They contradicted themselves....

I sent this question to Jayco being very specific to my trailer.

I was SHOCKED at Jayco's answer since I always ran 45 - 50 psi.

Here is my question:

I have a 2016 28BHBE with the thermal package.
I am wondering what is the maximum water pressure the water/plumbing system has been tested for. Wondering what psi water pressure regulator I should get for this trailer?
I want to be safe and not over pressure the system.
Thank you.

Jayco's answer:

Good afternoon and Thank You for reaching out to Jayco customer service. We only recommend putting 25 psi through your pipes. To make sure that you don’t burst a water line or break a seal in the lines.

Thank you,

MY FOLLOW UP:
Thank you for the reply but now I am realty confused.
On page 8-3 of the 2016 Jay Flight owners manual, it states the water pump will pressurize the line to 45 psi. On page 8-4, It states that a water pressure regulator should be set for 45 psi to prevent damage when using a city water connection?

Wondering why you would say 25 psi?

Below is Jayco's answer. Very disappointing answer. Sounds like they don't really know.

Good Morning and Thank You for reaching out to Jayco Customer Service. We recommend that any hook ups from outside source be set at 25 psi but you can do 45 psi.

Thank You,

When I first read this post, I tried to envision myself fitting between the trailer ceiling and the "floor" of the slide while it is closed. Doldrums, I guess.
