Expert Answers about Jayco Jay Flight SLX Travel Trailer


  • Best Way To Haul a 100 Generator On a 2021 Jayco Jay Flight Travel Trailer
  • I do have another solution for you as your 2021 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 224BH will not have a weight capacity given from Jayco for the rear bumper. In my experience they will never allow for more weight than a spare tire or gas grill that is installed by the manufacturer. The Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier # CC-255 will mount above your propane tanks on the front A-Frame of your Jayco. This carrier is capable of supporting up to 300lbs so your 101lb generator can also be on...

  • Recommendation of Cover for 30" x 28" x 16" A/C Unit
  • I can definitely help! The absolute closest match we have for your 30" long x 28" wide x 16" high A/C is the Camco Vinyl RV Air Conditioner Cover - Black # CAM45263. This particular cover measures 33-3/16" long x 28" wide x 15" tall. With the overhang of the 33-3/16" length, you should have enough room to adjust to make up for the 1" height you need for your A/C. Another alternative is to purchase a complete cover for your new 2022 Jayco 195RB travel trailer. This full cover is designed...

  • Power Audit For Solar Set Up And Battery Bank
  • The size of your battery bank will depend on your power consumption mostly. You will need to find out the Amp hours or Ah of your appliances. Then how long you will run them each day, you can use this information to gauge how big of a battery bank you will need. If you are a middle of the road power consumer you will probably need 200-500 watts. That said a 300W solar panel system if properly installed and in peak conditions can charge four 50 Ah 12 volt batteries connected in parallel...

  • Recommended Timbren Axle-less Suspension System With 4 Lift For 2016 Jayco Jay Flight 195RB
  • To add a 4" lift Timbren Axle-less suspension to your 2016 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Travel Trailer I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 4" Lift Spindle - Regular Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S06 which has a 3500lb rating to match the axle on your trailer. The # ASR3500S06 will bolt up to your trailer frame and replace your current leaf spring suspension with the built in progressive rate AEON main spring that does a great job at absorbing road shock, and will offer a...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a Jayco Jay Flight SLX 195RB That Allows for Reverse
  • The Jayco Jay Flight SLX 195RB has a gross vehicle weight rating of 3,500 lbs so the most the hitch weight will ever be is around 525 lbs. The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System part # FA92-00-0800 is my recommendation for this. It can be used in reverse as well without unhooking. Please note, you'll also need the 2" Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ91-00-6080 to complete your setup.

  • Is there a Replacement Dexter Axle that Fits in Place of a 3,500 Pound Lippert Axle
  • Is your axle actually bent or are you just seeing the bow that is supposed to be in the axle? A beam style trailer axle has a bow in it so the center of the axle is higher than either of the ends. When weight is on the axle it straightens out. This is part of how it gets its capacity. So if that is what you are seeing it is normal. If it is bent from damage or was overloaded then you would definitely want to replace the axle. To find the correct replacement there are some measurements...

  • Recommended Power Jack for Use With Lippert Jack-It Bike Rack
  • The Lippert Jack-It bike rack, part # LC429756 fits most jacks as long as they have an outer tube up to 2-1/4 inches in diameter and 22-1/2 inches of clearance above the trailer frame. The # LC285318 would be a good choice for a trailer jack. With its 3550 lb capacity, the jack will have plenty of power for even the heaviest trailers. Using a jack that's higher in capacity than what you actually need is a good idea for several reasons. The extra reserve power will come in handy if you're...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and E-Bike Rack for Jayco Travel Trailer
  • The best trailer hitch option we offer for travel trailers is the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs part # 13703 as it's very universal and can fit pretty much any trailer due to the adjustable frame brackets and crosstube. It has a 500 lb weight capacity which will be more than enough for a bike rack and a few bikes. In regards to the bike rack, there aren't many options for e-bikes that work on travel trailers due to the harsher ride. That said, we do still have one in...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch and 3 Drop Shank For 2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 195RB TT
  • I would be happy to recommend a weight distribution system with 3" drop adjustment to level your truck with a hitch height of 21.25" to your 2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 195RB Travel Trailer with a coupler height of 18.5", but the correct weight distribution system will be dependent on the total tongue weight of your setup. Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The easiest...

  • How To Tell if the Fastway e2 4.5K Weight Distribution System Offers Enough Rise
  • The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution part # FA92-00-0450 comes with a shank that offers up to 6" of rise. This should be more than enough for your needs. To confirm, simply measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler while level and then from the ground to the top inside edge of the vehicle receiver. The difference will be your rise requirement. You'll then just need to invert the shank and move the hitch head accordingly. The next size up is the Fastway e2...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2019 Jayco Jay Flight 174BH
  • Yes, a weight distribution system will help to reduce porpoising (bobbing up and down) as well as sway (if equipped with sway control) caused from the turbulence of passing semis. In regards to reversing, this is a very misunderstood subject about weight distribution systems as nearly all allow for you to reverse the trailer with the system still attached. The issue is when you try to reverse at a sharp angle which can then cause the spring bars to bind. If you do however need to reverse...

  • Recommended Storage Cover for 2021 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Travel Trailer 145RB
  • From the specs available to me online, it looks like your 2021 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Travel Trailer is 16'-6" in length. This will be from the back bumper to the coupler on the trailer tongue. To determine the proper fit, measure the length (not including the trailer tongue) and sidewall height (undercarriage to the top of the natural roof line). This cover is designed to accommodate rooftop accessories such as AC units and vents. Based on this, I suggest the Adco Polypropylene Storage...

  • Can You Replace Load Range C 205/75-15 Tires On Trailer with Load Range E
  • I do have an option for you but we don't offer any E rated tires in this size, only B, C, and D. That said, I just recommend sticking with the load range you have as this will produce the best ride for the trailer. If you find yourself needing more capacity then you are likely exceeding the weight capacity of the trailer so you'll need to be sure to check this. If you just need new tires I recommend the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Spoke Wheel part # AM32395 which...

  • Best Option for Solera RV Slide-Out Awning 2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Travel Trailer
  • For determining the proper size Solera Slider you need, measure the total width of your slide room from the outside including the flange then add about 5" (2-1/2" each for the left/right side overhang). You can have greater than 2-1/2" overhang if you want, but it is suggested that you have at least/approximately this at minimum. Based on the number you provided, of 71", I suggest the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning, # LCV000168105 in black.

  • Will Easy Grease Hub and Drum AKHD-655-35-EZ-K Fit A 2016 Lippert 3500lb Axle?
  • Yes, since the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K you were looking at uses the standard bearing combination used by 3500lb axles which is # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing, this hub will fit your 2016 Lippert 3500lb Axle perfectly. With that said this hub has the less common 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. If that is what your current hub has this would be correct, but the majority of 3500lb axles use the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. You can verify this by using...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2021 Jayco SLX 8 224 BH
  • I looked up the specs of your 2021 Jayco SLX 8 224 BH and for a weight distribution system the best option is the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 and has the best sway control at fighting sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Sway Control for 2020 Jayco Jay Flight SLX
  • According to my research, the tongue weight of your new Jayco Jay Flight will be somewhere between 1000-1350 lbs, so you'll want to be sure to get a system that can handle that tongue weight. Also, because travel trailers are especially vulnerable to sway caused by oncoming or passing traffic, it's pretty crucial that you use a weight distribution system that has an integrated sway control component. I'd recommend going with an Equal-i-zer system like # EQ37141ET which is compatible with...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For 2016 JAY FLIGHT SLX
  • Yes, the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control is a great choice to tow with your 2016 JAY FLIGHT SLX. It appears that trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating 7500 lbs which is in alignment with your selected hitch. Your selected hits can handle up 12,000lbs gross towing weight and has a Tongue Weight capacity up to 1200lbs. As long as your tow vehicle can handle the weight, you are spot on with your choice. When choosing weight distribution hitch it will have...
