    Appreciate the Video. I was considering a 40 ft Wolf Pack 5th wheel and then thought about 60 feet of total motion trying to maneuver and I quickly made my way to this one. I thought about the Forest River Hyper Lite 19HFS but the bathroom countertop in the Hyper Lite looks really cheap compared to the Jayco. I think this is the one - thanks for the help.

    Put cargo net above the closet to retain your helmets. Wire a 12 volt light in the bathroom. Put another deep cycle battery on the rack next to your generator. Cover or lock down the battery and generator. And mod the “bedroom “ to your taste. No sweat!

    You are looking at things from only your perspective, if you get a girl friend someday you will change your perspective on having a bed that has to be run down or is always ready for a nap. If you have a couple little rug rats you will have a different perspective again. Get some tool or dish cloth to keep things from sliding. Marine carpet is actually really good at being the bottom non skid for the cabinets. Helmet can go on the cabinet in the corner you just set it up there, or leave it in the quad or what ever you run. They always need to be made your own as people have such a variety in flavor of what they want. Have fun make it what you want and enjoy going out there. Be Safe.

    Totally enjoyed your video! Would love to see it with some stuff in it now that you’ve had it for a while and how it is working out for you. Did you end up doing any modifications? Where are you storing your helmets? We have a quad and Harleys and are in the market for a toy hauler. Not sure what direction to go..

    • @PhillyLS1
      @PhillyLS1  Před 6 lety +2

      woofman you can't go wrong with forrest river either to be honest. My needs were that my hauler had to get into tight spaces and also light enough to get me out of muddy parking. I've slept up to 4 people comfortably. You definitely don't need the bigger AC unit unless you're in a desert environment. I have the sealed bottom and I can heat the whole trailer with a little electric ceramic heater from Walmart. I literally have no complaints other than the layout could be better for guys who wrench like me. It's a little short on storage. It could use a closet.

    I don't know how you can compare this jayco to the work and play.
    the work and play will still be here when the jayco is in an r v junk yard.
    if you had a smaller work and play to compare. you would see the difference in quality.

    • @patb9375
      @patb9375 Před 4 lety +1

      It is all what you want and need. Do you have others going with or will you be alone, what are you hauling? What do you have to tow it with, your tow vehicle will have a max towing AND a max cargo and you can not exceed them. On many vehicles if you pack much gear or if you have a few people go with you blow the cargo capacity before you even hook up the trailer. If you have a half tn you need to think shorter if you are driving a bigger truck check the numbers you may not have the truck to tow what you want to tow.
