  • Solar Panel Set Up For Pre-Wired RV's & Travel Trailers

Check out this article we made to help you calculate how much power you really need. The general rule of thumb is that a 100-watt solar panel can produce about 30 amp-hours per day, so you can use this guideline to determine about how many panels you need.

  • 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...

  • 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 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 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 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Suspension Upgrade Recommendation for 2021 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 184BS
  • I would recommend the Roadmaster Comfort Ride system part # RM-2460-2560 for your 2021 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 184BS that has 4,400 lb axles. This kit will give you all new suspension/leaf springs like you are looking for but since it comes with shocks too you will see a dramatic improvement in the ride quality of the trailer. Shocks are normally not used on trailer suspension and are a big reason why vehicle suspension is so much smoother since it slows the movement of the suspension down.

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Jayco Jayflight
  • So does your owners manual state that you can't use a weight distribution system? If that's true there isn't a system we can safely recommend. The problem is that if your tongue weight range will vary widely you'll have to set the system up everytime the tongue weight changes. If you are okay with that though the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 will work well for your tongue weight range as it has a range of 400-800 lb and features only sway control on market designed to fight sway before...

  • Can Curt Weight Distribution System be Used with Curt Friction Sway Control
  • The Curt weight distribution system part # C17052 is perfectly compatible with your Curt Friction Sway Control Item # 17200. You'd just need to mount the smaller ball of the kit to the brackets on either side of the hitch ball of this kit and you'd be set. I attached a picture that shows what this will look like.

  • Hitch & Bike Rack For Jayco Travel Trailer For 2 Electric Bikes
  • You'll need a new set up as your Swagman hanging rack is rated for 35 lbs per bike, and the Bike Bunk is rated for a total of 100 lbs (including the rack) so neither is strong enough for both bikes. There isn't a way to have the bikes in front of the trailer so you will need a hitch on your Jayco, and then a hitch-mounted rack. The easiest thing to do is use a bumper-mounted hitch, if your Jayco has a 4" square bumper, the etrailer RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38HR. If it doesn't...

  • Recommended Cover for 2018 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Travel Trailer
  • I'd recommend going with the Adco # 290-52240 cover you'd looked at. The Adco AquaShed protects against water, dust and UV rays. The cover is breathable to prevent mold and mildew, and provides zippers on the passenger side so you can access the travel trailer without needing to remove the cover.

  • Determining Correct Propane Pigtail Hose For Trailer
  • Depending on the specific propane regulator on your trailer you will either need the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail - Stainless Overbraid - Type 1 x 1/4 Male Inverted Flare # 100833-36 or the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check - Type 1 x 1/4" MPT - 36" # 100473-36-MBS. The easiest way to determine the correct hose for your regulator has a brass fitting as shown in the included picture or not.

  • 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 Storage Cover for a 2018 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 175RD
  • The storage covers we offer for your 2018 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 175RD are universal fit options, not custom fit options so they will be a bit larger than your trailer. However, this is not an issue at all as most come with cinching straps that let you take most of the slack out for a snug fit. The basic contour of the trailer is also mimicked with the shape of the cover. According to Jayco, the 2018 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 175RD measures 246" (hitch to bumper) long x 85" wide x 107" tall (ground...

  • Does 50 Amp Surge Protector Offer More Protection than 30 Amp Surge Protector?
  • The Hughes Autoformers are certainly the deluxe of all the power protection products. On top of all the low-voltage, high-voltage, Mis-wiring protections they offer - the hardwired units offer protection from thieves! This unit goes inside your coach instead of hanging from the outdoor post. However, buying a 50-amp unit offers no more protection than a 30-amp unit IF your coach or trailer only connects to 30-amps. If your camper only plugs into 30 amp then you should purchase the...
