Hello, We just bought a 2021 Melbourne on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis. We are impressed with how powerful the diesel is, but we have never owned one before. Are there any tips or suggestions we should know? We already learned that at some pumps there are two types of diesel available. The...

Howdy, I have a 2024 Jayco Melbourne 24l. I would like to add an inverter. I have replaced battery with 2 lithium 100ah batteries connected in pararell . Does anyone have any diagrams or instructions on how to add a PD1620 (2000W inverter) to my PD9260C Charger/converter? I have a Southwire ATS...

New to RV'ing , i am electrically inclined and HAVE to know where everything is. Without taking it apart to find out, can anyone tell me where the Converter is located on a Melbourne 24R ?

Hi All, Newly registered on the site but have been stalking all of you for months and learning from you. It helped us make our decision to pull the trigger on a 22 Melbourne Prestige 24RP. We pick it up Saturday. I went through and asked to have a lot of little things fixed and added side view...

I’m on the road and just replaced our house battery because it tested low. Apparently, there is something else wrong. No house lights, yet the microwave clock goes on. Refrigerator will not run in auto. I’m no where near a dealer. Can anyone provide some basic troubleshooting steps. Thank you.

I have a 2020 Jayco Melbourne. Somehow the built in water filter housing cracked and the whole filter housing including mount needs to be replaced. I’m debating on doing it myself. I believe I need to remove the mounting screws for the service panel to access the screws for the filter housing...

Last Friday I received a package of documents regarding the Mercedes Bluedef TEC settlement from the JND Legal Administration. It was a bit overwhelming . I called the closest Mercedes Sprinter service, Mercedes of Northwest Arkansas, to obtain a little clarification and guidance. The service...

We recently purchased a 2017 Melbourne and no matter how I drive it the average fuel economy is about 10 miles per gallon. I have read posts that some people are getting up to 15 miles per gallon. The only way I can get those numbers is going downhill with a tailwind. We live on the coast of...

We recently purchased a 2020 Melbourne on the Mercedes chassis. The engine / chassis battery keeps going dead in less than a week. And yes, everything inside is turned off. The Mercedes owner's manual mentions a 3 week period of no use may result in a dead battery. So there is an obvious known...

Hello fellow Jayco owners! My wife and I recently picked up a 2008 26A Melbourne. I've made a few first upgrades, including the new radio screen attached below 😍 Next up on the project list is solar. I've got 3x100w panels coming with a 40A MPPT charge controller. I've done a RV solar install...

I recently sold my 2008 Melbourne 26a and am thinking of going smaller and newer. It looks like the 24K meets some of our wish list items with the dinette bump out and rear bedroom. I assume things like stove, frig, will be smaller. It looks like it’ll have smaller generator and a single...

We are looking to purchase a MP 24KP. I can get a new 2019 model for $10,000 less than a new 2020 (with the new 2019 MBZ chassis). Any experience to share as to whether one deal is better than the other? Thank you

Has anyone seen the new floor plan for the 2020 Melbourne Prestige 24TP. We traded our 2019 MP back to the dealer to get one that had stabilizer / leveling jacks, and like this new floor plan. If anyone has seen it up close, I would like to know - how comfortable are the front dining seats, how...

Hey folks, I was experimenting with the entertainment system on my 2016 Melbourne, to get my iphone synced/paired, and I'm not sure if it was something I did, or just coincidence. But now the rear-view camera comes on when I start the engine (that is, the rv is in Park), the camera display...

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck getting an ignition key for a Jayco Melbourne with a 2017 Sprinter chassis. We were given only one key for the ignition but would like a backup just in case the original is lost. We have tried hardware stores and big box stores that make...

Model 2017 Melbourne I cannot believe Jayco really did this...can anyone tell me how to get to the water filter housing. Can't even reach the cut off valves. This is the most ridiculous design, behind the permanent water control board (see bottom of filter housing in bottom left of photo)...I...

This model has a diesel generator. It is missing the propane grill quick connect, which is standard in the brochure. Other posts mention the quick connect location is by the steps. Inspection of the chassis reveals two hoses tie wrapped in a circle with one hose labeled grill, and both routed...

Hi, due to severe health reasons I am forced to sell my rv. Unit has 15,500 miles on it and is in perfect condition. Unit is currently in storage in Apache Junction, AZ. I added a power up, power down leveling system on the coach and it works great. List was $104,000 and we have added over...

I have a brand new Jayco Sprinter chassis Melbourne 24L. I live in Montana and have taken only one trip this Fall before winterizing the unit and putting it under a cover. It is plugged in to shore power - so it looks like my coach battery is being maintained. However, the so-called starter...

The two electric steps for our Melbourne leave a gap of about 14 inches from the top step to the entry of the RV. Very high - looking for a solution to add a step (manual) to make it easier to get in. Any solutions. Do not want to ditch the electric steps if possible

I bought a 2011 Melbourne 28F in August of 2011 that had the semi-circular Dinette. At first we rally liked the dinette, but as time went by we grew weary of twisting our head to watch any TV as the TV was hard mounted in the center front. I recently decided to remove the dinette and put in...

I own a Melbourne 28F that has a rear bed that is part of the rear slide. I want to install gas shocks on the bed to support the bed platform when I lift the platform to store items under the bed. Problem: The platform slides forward when the slide is closed. Has anyone solved this and installed...
