  1. Thanks All! It does have the bypass system for antifreeze. My experienced neighbor did help me with that. He blew out the water first, and then we sucked up the antifreeze to all the places and traps mentioned here. About that darn furnace switch.... I guess it is referring to once it is installed to turn it on/off (see attached pics in separate posts). It just bothers me I cant really get to the switch (like for in the Summer, I want it OFF). Maybe I could just pull the fuse? To "completely charge the battery".....Plug camper in to 110V at the house for a couple hours? Thanks again Becky
  2. Thank you for clarifying for this newbie!
  3. I, the newby, am back needing some more advice. I've read my manuals a few times, called the dealer service dept (that did not call back), and I've searched this blog but cant pin down a topic. So here goes. I'm winterizing my Jayco Jayflight 2021. Its getting cold here in N. KY. 1)Should I take my battery indoors? I am thinking about the tiny things that may drain it (besides the cold)... the stereo clock, the CO and low battery detector, maybe other things I don't know about. 2)Should I concern myself about getting to the on/off switch on my furnace? My furnace is under a seat at the table. Cant get to it unless I unscrew the particle board seat or unscrew the vent. The user instructions of the furnace say I am supposed to turn it off when not in use. That would be most of the time for me. I only plan on camping in the warmer weather. But it is very unaccessible and doesn't seem to be a thing to do in this TT. Did Jayco just not think of that? 3)Any other winterizing tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone Becky

    In relation to "gently apply" the trailer brake.... Does the manual brake slide work like a brake pedal? You can "step" on the brake pedal a little for a slow stop or full force. I assumed that the manual brake slide was all or nothing. (and I have made alot of incorrect assumptions with this new venture). Thanks

    Thanks for all of this information. To answer a few questions.... the camper is "17 foot" but is longer when I manually measured from bumper to bumper. I pull with a 2017 Chev Silverado Z71 four door. The camper is just over 3400 pounds. I did not have water or supplies in it. It got cold and rainy before I had a chance to take it on its maiden camping voyage, so all I have done is pull it around town a bit, drove it home from the dealer on the interstate, and practiced backing and parking in a parking lot. So, yes, I am very green. I've never pulled anything, But that is also why I had my neighbor drive me down the interstate in it to see how it felt to him. He has alot of experience with larger campers. I just want to be safe. I didn't like how it felt when a semi passed me or when the wind blew. Kirk, the pictures you posted.... you said nothing is bolted, but that has a plate with bolts? Thanks everyone

    Hello! I am new to owning a "camper". I have always tent camped. I bought a new 2021 Jayco travel trailer. Single axle. I've been given lots of advice of do this or that. I feel like it sways alot. An experienced large camper owner agrees. However, I've also been told that my frame should not be drilled to connect anything to and that I do not need any kind of stabilizer bars for such a small trailer. Any advice here? I'd like to decrease the bunny hopping and sway and not compromise the integrity of the frame. Thanks!
