New 2013 Jayco White Hawk 30DSRE Owners

Cool the led strip would be nice. I agree about the white counters. I don't like them either. Cheapens the look in my opinion. But I see that the 2014s also have the faux granite look still too...

New 2013 Jayco White Hawk 30DSRE Owners

I like the raised ceiling in the 2014 model update. I'm not too fond of what they did to the pantry / closet area though. My 2013 has double doors and three usable shelves. The 2014 seems to have...

I wonder what the R values are normally. I am expecting the coldest weather I would be dealing with is probably going to be about 20 degrees Fahrenheit and that would be a very rare event. Probably...

Thanks Ron!

The parabolic mirror is worth a try. I think if that wasn't already there on my mirror it would have been more difficult to get a good visual along side me. Since I have that though...

Yes, I think pretty much I will load things in the trailer and put near nothing directly in the truck. I think that will help. The truck does have the anti-sway feature. I've got a weight...

I had a couple things wrong about my truck. Payload is right... 1,520. Towing is 8,100 and GVWR is 7,200.

If I loaded the trailer to the max 8,200 I would be a bit overweight. I'll have to...

The payload on my F150 is 1,520 lbs. The wheels on the trailer are closer to center rather than far back. I need to check but I think the tongue weight must be pretty low. My truck still sits...

I have to say that the Ecoboost tows this trailer very well. The trailer has a GVWR of 8,200 and my truck's max is also 8,200. I towed the trailer home from the dealership (50 miles) with full...
