Expert Answers about Jayco Jay Flight Travel Trailer


  • Trouble Shooting Electric Trailer Brakes Not Engaging with New Brake Controller
  • It sounds like your brake controller may be wired incorrectly or more specifically you have an issue with your brake control wire. This is the blue wire that runs from the brake controller to your vehicles connector. I recommend checking the wire to see if its been severed or frayed. Another wire you may want to check is the red wire to the cold side of the brake light switch. A fault or miswiring in either of this would cause your brakes not to engage. You may also want to check your breakaway...

  • Troubleshooting Lights on 2017 Jayco Travel Trailer
  • You are going to have to troubleshoot a bit, but this sounds like a classic case of a poor ground, which causes all sorts of funky issues. First though, there's some other things to check out; use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the connector on your tow vehicle after disconnecting it from your trailer. Check the wiring going into your harness from your taillights to see if those wires are carrying the correct signals, if not then the issue is with the vehicle wiring. If the...

  • Electric Jack Only Works When Connected to Tow Vehicle
  • The problem you have with the Electric Jack w/ Footplate part # EJ-3520-BBX is likely due to a dead battery. The reason it will only work when connected to the tow vehicle is because the tow vehicle is using the 7-way trailer connector to provide a charge to the trailer battery. The trailer battery is likely dead since the jack only works when hooked up to the tow vehicle which in this case is the battery charger. I recommend checking the trailer battery to ensure it is fully charged.

  • Troubleshooting Fastway e2 Trunnion Hitch Sway Bars Angled On Sway Brackets
  • There are not a minimum amount of washers that you will need for the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution #FA92-00-1000. The Sway-Control L-Bracket # FA93-02-5150 can be adjusted along with the link plates to position the brackets so the bars ride flat on the brackets. This will ensure that the parts are not easily damaged by only having contact on the edge of the L-Bracket.

  • No Running Lights & Weak Signals on Trailer When Installing New Lights
  • This is definitely a case of a bad ground. So what I would do is try grounding the # DG52720PB lights you have directly to the trailer frame using a ring terminal and self-tapping screw. Make sure the frame is bare metal and clean, without any dirt, paint, etc.

  • Troubleshooting An Advent Air RV Air Conditioner That Doesn't Turn Off When It Reaches Set Temp
  • The temperature probe for RV AC units is actually up in the air distribution box controller which can kind of throw off what temperature the unit thinks it is. Hot air rises and can get trapped up by the probe causing it to think it's still not where it needs to be. The typical fix for this is to adjust the air dampers in the distribution box and/or to keep the fan running so that it circulates the cool air up to the probe. As for the wires, there shouldn't be any issues with them being...

  • How to Improve Poor AM Radio Reception of Furrion DV1230BL RV Stereo
  • I spoke with the folks at Furrion who tell me that their stereos (for whatever reason) do not include an AM antenna. The antenna that's installed OEM is FM only. To get good AM/FM reception, you'd need to install an aftermarket antenna like part # AN150SR.

  • Troubleshoot Constant Buzzing Speakers
  • If you are hearing a constant buzz sound from the speakers through your Jensen RV Stereo, # JWM60A, the most common cause is damage to the cone in your speakers. Remove the covers to your speakers and check for holes/rips to the paper portion of the cone. If you find this type of damage present, you can repair using a rubber cement.

  • Troubleshooting Coupler Difficulties With A 2015 Jayco Jay Flight 26BHS Travel Trailer
  • The Repair Kit for etrailer and Ram A-Frame Couplers # CA-5100-RK only fits the following couplers # CA5100B, CA-5100-BLB, and # CA-5100-Z, so it would not solve your connection difficulty, unless you had one of these specific couplers. Aside from lubing the hitch ball the only other solution would be to replace your coupler with an easier coupling design like the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch # DM14793-97 or the weld-on version # DM14791-97. The eZ-Latch coupler...
