It's really not that bad. Just remove the corner trim and pull all the staples holding the skins and they come right off. I had to rebuild the rotted right rear corner on mine which also involved...

When I re-built the rear end of my 89 Jayco 1006, I used 1/2" plywood in the large flat area of the tail lights (mainly to have something to screw the lights to) and in the bottom beveled area but I...

I removed the spare tire carrier altogether and keep my spare tire in the garage to avoid dry rot. I throw it in my TV when I travel. I do the same thing with my utility trailers. I covered the...

I am assuming that your hoist system is similar to the one on my older 1006 (manual winch, cables, etc.). If so, it sounds like two of your cables are out of whack (technical term). When I first...

Not really looking to increase capacity. I'm just concerned about the reliability of the Chinese tires (Kendra). Also would like a little wider profile just for cosmetic reasons.

They probably won't spend any more money to try to get them back. They can probably re-cycle some of the old tanks to recoup some of their costs.

Do a Google Image search for "Jayco 804". There are several entries for the same one that is for sale with lots of pics. Looks like a shortened version of the 1006.
