  • Replacement Parts For A 2018 Jayco Precept Motorhome Slide Out Awning
  • Jayco tends to use Dometic A&E awnings so you'd most likely have to purchase an entirely new slide topper since we currently only offer Solera branded components. I haven't gotten to work on Dometic awnings so I can't say if it's the same but Solera awning springs can be reset inside of the roller tube to get the tension back. Yours sounds like it might be a bit more broken than just re-tensioning the spring though so you'd like need to replace the arm(s). If you have a Solera model then...

  • How To Help Keep Steering Wheel Centered On Jayco Precept 31U
  • The best option to help tighten up the steering and keep from having to make continual adjustments to stay in a straight light would be to add a steering stabilizer which is designed for these exact issues. The Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets part # RM-RBK22-RSSA is a confirmed fit for a Jayco Precept 31U and what I recommend using. SumoSprings part # SSR-187-40-1 for rear and part # SSF-170-40-2 for the front are great for sway and stability but they don't...

  • Is The Rear View Safety Color Monitor Compatible With The Factory Camera On A 2016 Jayco Precept?
  • Without knowing which cameras you have installed on your 2016 Jayco Precept, I can not say for sure if they will be compatible with the Rear View Safety Color Monitor # RVS-6139Q. However, if your cameras are not compatible, you can use the Rear View Safety Splice Kit # RVS-SPK01 to make them compatible with this monitor.

  • Recommended Suspension Upgrades for a 2018 Jayco Precept 36T
  • The first and most important suspension upgrade you will want to make on your 2018 Jayco Precept 36T is an upgraded rear anti-sway bar, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-149. The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar is going to help minimize the floating/rocking feeling while out on the highway which is typically the most common complaint with a motorhome and the weakest component from the factory. The second most important suspension upgrade you will want to make is a set of...

  • SumoSprings or Air Bags for 2016 Jayco RV on Ford F-53 Chassis
  • For your 2016 Jayco RV built on the Ford F-53 chassis, I recommend going with the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs over an air bag kit. These springs will provide you with excellent support to level your ride and minimize any sway that you are experiencing. Unlike air bags that you will have to inflate and deflate depending on your load (along with making sure they stay at the minimum inflation level during the off season), the SumoSprings can be pretty much left alone after the initial...

  • Anti-Sway Enhancements for 2022 Jayco Precept 36A on Ford F-53 Chassis
  • Yes, we do have solutions to help reduce sway on your 2022 Jayco Precept 36A. I recommend adding a front and rear anti-sway bar. Since your motorhome is built on an F-53 chassis and has a GVWR of 24,000 lbs you can use the following: -Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148 -Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-149 The addition of anti-sway bars will significantly improve stability, handling, and reduce sway and fatigue. They are constructed of 4140 chromoly steel and are thicker...

  • Dolly Towing a 2017 Kia Optima
  • The 2017 Kia Optima is FWD so you'll pull the front wheels up onto the dolly, place the ignition into the ACC position, place the transaxle shift lever into neutral, and then release the parking break. The rear wheels are not connected to the transmission so you won't have to worry about it needing to be lubed. Never tow with the rear wheels on the dolly. For your 2017 Kia Optima I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame - 4,800 lbs - Wide Tread # DM9713093...

  • Picking Out Foot Pads for Jayco Precept 2015 35UP w/ Power Gear Leveling System
  • Measure the diameter of the feet of your Power Gear setup and we'll be able to determine if the # SP64FR4 is a fit. This part number is for 10 inch diameter feet which is most likely what you have. If you had 9 inch diameter feet instead you'd want the # SP54FR4, 7 inch # SP24FR4 11-1/2 inch or 12 inch part # SP84FR74, 8 inch # SP34FR4 etc. I attached a page to see all the options we have since there are quite a few.

  • Determining Torque Specs for Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK22-RSSA

The torque specs for the included hardware can be found on page 2 of the instructions. We don't typically post these numbers on our site simply because they are always subject to change from the manufacturer. To determine the correct torque specs when tightening factory bolts for the chassis/frame brackets, you will actually need to contact the RV's...

  • Best Brake Controller for a 2016 Jayco Precept Class A Motorhome
  • Brake controllers are not vehicle or motorhome specific. They are universal and can be used on a variety of applications even motorcycles. For a brake controller that will work well for you, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 is one of our most popular and well reviewed brake controllers. It has built-in safeguards to protect the vehicle and an easy to use/read LCD display. I have attached a review video of this controller...

  • Recommended Motorhome Bike Rack That Can Carry Two Electric Bikes and 2 Standard Bikes
  • There sure is! I recommend the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # TH69TX which can accommodate bikes weighing up to 60lbs each and tires up to 5" wide, but is limited to a combined weight of 160lbs. This rack is rated for use on a motorhome, and would be great on a vehicle as well if needed.

  • Sumo Springs Versus Timbren Suspension Enhancement For 2019 Jayco Precept 31UL 22,000#
  • While both the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFFF53B & # TFRF53A and the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-170-40-2 & # SSR-180-54-1 are both great solutions for your 2019 Jayco Precept 31UL, there are some differences to take note of. Timbren is a bit more renown in this space and while a very solid product, that strength comes with the tradeoff that the ride quality can be stiff. Made from a rigid rubber construction, it can be less forgiving and this has been...

  • Recommended Helper Spring Product for Class A Motorhome on 2018 Ford F-53 Chassis
  • I'd recommend the SumoSpring product over the Timbren, because of the ride quality. The rubber used in the Timbren springs is pretty stiff. The product works very well in that it offers plenty of support but you will experience a fairly harsh ride once the suspension gets compressed. The SumoSprings are constructed of a microcellular urethane, and have a bit more give to them which will yield a more comfortable ride. The SumoSprings will also reduce sway and body roll during turns. I'd...
