Wow Jay Flights are popular

Currently on a trip from Seattle down to Anaheim and San Diego with our White Hawk 28DSBH. Based out of the Anaheim RV Resort right now and having a blast.

I haven't seen a single White Hawk so far, but I've seen several dozen Jay Flights in the parks and on the road. Proved to me how popular those Flights really are.

Strange but I've also seen about 10 Lance trailers. I don't see them very often around home so that was a surprise.

I would be interested in learning what percent of the market Jay Flight travel trailers have.

Me too. I just got a "13" 28BHS and could not be any more happy with it.

JayFlights are America's #1 selling TT for 7 consequtive years. I too see a lot on the road.

Lance's are made in Southern CA, so I imagine there could be a dispropotionate number of them on the roads around the state. Lance makes a nice product, little pricier and they still don't have larger floorplans so not really a consideration for lots of famlies.

By the way that sounds like an awsome trip. We have always stayed in hotels when going to DL and SD, someday we will take the TT.

How did the EcoBoost like the Grapevine? All the reviews I hear rave about it, so I imaging it pulled it without concern.

The truck handled all the passes without a problem. For the grapevine the truck dropped to 3rd gear and tranny temp briefly went to 212 degrees maintaining 55 mph. It dropped back to 202 as soon as we crested the long hill. This was the first true test of the truck I've ever really thrown at it.

I couldn't be happier with the Ecoboost motor and the F150 platform.
