Nice, thanks for the review, I am considering a Jayco Jay Feather 19MRK 4,795 lbs empty, max 6,250 lbs. I hear that they are pretty good and I like the fact they have the new material adzel instead of wood so no rot. I think I may consider a tandem axle 4 tires instead of just two, which may be a bit stronger.
Yeah. I wish I had a tandem axle. I also agree that adzel is better than my metal siding. I plan on doing the same with my next rig. Thanks for commenting. Best of luck.
Maxxfan air fan without the remote. It was around 200 bucks. It has the ability to move air in both directions. I love it. I wish there was another one in the front of the rig so I could move air through both though. I did not want to cut the roof though. Thanks for watching. 👍👍
In the video you had mentioned that you use a tundra to pull your Jayco with and you had mentioned some thing about using a weight distribution hitch are there any other recommendations that you would suggest? I am looking to buy my first camper and I’m very seriously considering the Jayco SLX seven model 174bh and I’m hoping to pull it with my F150
Yes. I pull with a Tundra and distribution hitch based on recommendation from the RV dealer. Others use weight distribution hitches with sway bars, air bags, etc…. depending on setup and tow vehicle. You will need a brake distribution hitch as well. I would check with experts on your particular truck with regards to tow ratings to figure what you need.
With regards to the trailer. It’s a good trailer for a first trailer. It’s actually my 4th rig, but I like the size and it’s ability to camp in most sites at national parks. Any bigger you burn more gas and can’t camp in most sites with national parks.
We pulled a 7000 pound Winnebago tandem with our Tundra, and the distribution hitch. The only change I made was an upgrade to heavy valved Bilstein shocks, and put in a digital Tekonsha brake controller. The truck pulled it with no problems, even on some very rough highways in Louisiana.
Yeah. Tundra is a solid truck. I’ve been thinking about airbags, but I’ve not done it yet to level out the truck and trailer. I recently bent the rear drive shaft towing my little Jayco. Crazy. I don’t know how it happened.

I just bought this same trailer, thanks for the tips!
Nice. How do you like it? I’ve had many good adventures in mine.
Enjoyed the video
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. 👍
Thanks for the video. Which fan did you put in the bathroom?

when your backing into a down slop to get your trailer in a odd camp ground site do they say to disconnect the distribution hitch before backing in?
They must have coated the Bajas better than the STX, all the STX's that I've seen have frame surface rust within a year
Wow. Good info. I live in AZ. No rust on my rig as a result.
Since ur 6ft tall does your head hit the AC unit ?
I don’t. But it’s close.
Thanks

Where did you get fan for bathroom?
I bought it at camping world. I think it was 200 bucks or so a few years ago.
