Expert Answers about Jayco Jay Flight Travel Trailer


  • Should a 2007 Jayco 20BH Use a 6 Ply or 8 Ply Tire
  • Ply rating isn't really as relevant as just going with a tire that has more weight capacity than the trailer will weight. That's an easier way to pick out the correct size. If we use the wheel and tire part # TA43RR that you referenced as an example this would have the needed weight capacity. With four of these you'd have a capacity of 6,640 lbs which is more than the capacity of 6,000 lbs that you need. These are 6 ply tires. Looking at another option, the part # AM31994 is same tire...

  • What Grade Bolts Are Recommended To Install Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler
  • I recommend using Grade 5 1/2" x 4" bolts to install the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # DM12717. These would allow for the full weight capacity of the coupler to be achieved. These can be picked up at most local hardware stores.

  • Best Equalizer Suspension Upgrade For Tandem 3,500 lb Axles
  • Those are some good options, and the best overall upgrade (without getting too crazy like you said!) for your Jayco with tandem 3,500 lb axles is going to be the MORryde CRE3000 with the X-factor crossmember. The Road Armor is good, but the combination of the upgraded MORryde equalizers with the crossmember will give you more added benefit. The cushioned equalizers are going to provide you with a more comfortable ride due to their rubber construction and suspension travel, which is going...

  • Can 7000lb Braking Assemblies Be Used On 5000lb Axle?
  • As long as your 5000lb axle uses 12" x 2" brakes like a typical 5200-7000lb axle then the stronger 7000lb brake assemblies will fit just fine. They will provide stronger braking, but that is not necessarily better. If you can adjust your trailer brake controller to the point that it locks up the wheels with your current brakes, you won't see any gains with the stronger brakes. But if you cannot lock up the wheels with your current brakes, going with the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer...

  • Does Keyed Power Source Wire Need to Be Connected When Installing Stereo in RV
  • You need the switched wire to be connected to a constant power source in your situation otherwise it will not turn on. The keyed power source on stereos is what tells the stereo to turn on when you turn the key on of the vehicle. So you need it to have power basically all the time so that it can turn on and off when needed using the power switch of it instead.

  • The cover that I recommend for your 2013 Jayco Jay Flight 22FB travel trailer is the Adco Olefin HD RV Cover for Travel Trailers # AD87ZR. The Adco Olefin HD RV Cover for Travel Trailers # AD87ZR is the best cover we have for UV and weather protection.

  • Which Torklift Glowstep Fits 2017 Jayco 29RKS
  • Since the height from the ground to the doorway on your Jayco Model 29RKS is 34 inches the Torklift GlowStep Revolution part # TLA8004 that you referenced is the correct step to go with. This step has a height range of between 32-1/2 and 44 inches. I attached an install video link for these steps on a very similar 2015 Jayco Pinnacle for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended All Season Cover for a Jayco Jay Flight 36BHDS
  • The cover that I recommend for a Jayco Jay Flight 36BHDS is the Adco Olefin HD All-Climate + Wind RV Cover for Travel Trailer part # AD39ZR. This is our best all-season cover with a ton of great features like zippered panels for entry, weighted straps for easy install, and guards for wear points like the ladders/rain gutters. It's also backed by a three year warranty. It will work great in rain, wind, and snow due to the Olefin top and polypropylene sides.

  • Weight Distribution System for 2019 Keystone Springdale 1750RD
  • I looked up the specs on the 2019 Springdale 1750RD and got the same 4,400 GVWR, but the hitch weight was different at 520 lbs. Normally the hitch weight when loaded is 10-15% of the total trailer weight, so I assume the weight you gave was the unloaded weight. Either way, I can help you get the best system for your trailer. When choosing a weight distribution system, you want to go off of the loaded trailer tongue weight as well as any cargo weight behind the rear axle of your tow...

  • Coupler Lock, Pin Lock, and Hitch Pin Lock for Underslung Coupler
  • We have a coupler lock that fits underslung couplers with the Atwood AMPlock part # AMP56FR but we don't have a matching kit that includes a hitch pin lock and coupler latch lock all with the same key. Then for a matching pin lock and hitch pin lock you could use the part # e99039.

  • Wiring Diagram for Dometic RV Water Heater
  • There's a wiring diagram in the install instructions for the Dometic RV Water Heater part # DMC74FR that I attached to this page. I don't have a way to verify what the wires of your RV are that ran to your old water heater though. We do have to recommend that a qualified tech be who installs the water heater.

  • Propane Tanks in the Way of Frame Brackets for Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System
  • Since the propane tank is in the way preventing installation of the frame brackets for Reese weight distribution system # RP66083 you will need to use alternate brackets # RP58305. These brackets will bolt to the sides of the trailer frame rather than sitting on top of the frame.

  • The 205/75R15 tires measure slightly over 27".

  • Tilting Bike Rack Recommendation Similar to Swagman Original 3-Bike Rack
  • There isn't a way to convert the 3-bike Swagman Original part # S64152-2 that you referenced to a tilting rack. For a similarly priced rack that does tilt and would work great we have the SportRack # SR2703 which would work great. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

  • Which Solera Slide Topper Fits Flange Width of 155 inches
  • Since your flange width is 155 inch the correct slide topper length is 13-1/2 feet so you'd need the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168109 which fits flange widths from 152" - 157". This is black in color. If you'd prefer white you'd want the # LCV000163300.

  • Recommended Easy to Use Weight Distribution System for 2012 Jayco Jay Flight 33RLDS
  • I looked up your 2012 Jayco Jay Flight 33RLDS and the dry hitch weight is 1,060 lbs. For your 2008 Ford F-350 and this trailer, I recommend the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion # RP66561. This system is an easy installation and is rated for total tongue weights between 700 and 1,400 lbs. This tongue weight range is for the loaded trailer tongue weight plus any cargo behind the rear axle of your truck. This weight distribution system will work...

  • Picking Out Replacement AC Unit for 2015 Jayco Jayflight 26BHS
  • I don't know what unit you have on your 2015 Jayco JayFlight 26BHS but if it happens to be a Dometic the Advent Air Unit part # ACDOM150 that you referenced was designed to easily replace Dometics so it would be a really great solution. It uses wiring connectors that would plug right in and allow you to use your current thermostat. Otherwise the part # ACM150C is a really great option that comes with a start capacitor and an air distribution box.

  • Replacement Trailer Spindle for 3 inch Diameter Trailer Axle
  • Since your axle diameter is 3 inch that would mean that your axle capacity is between 5.2k and 7k so for a replacement spindle the EZ Lube Spindle part # TRU37FR would fit and work well. This has a 5 bolt spindle though.

  • How To Choose the Correct Replacement Dexter 3,500 Lb Axle
  • It sounds like you might be looking for a replacement Dexter 3,500 lb and if that is the case we have a few options. These options will vary based on the spring center and hub face measurements. The two options we offer which come with hub/drums and braking assemblies are the part # 35545E-ST-89 which has an 89" hub face and 74" spring center and the part # 7359765-EB which has a 95" hub face and 80" spring center.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Circuits that Dont Work With No Trailer Connection Error Code
  • When a brake controller or vehicle states that it does not detect a trailer being connected that's typically related to the brake controller not being able to detect trailer brakes. Which the cause for this problem is almost always corrosion on the trailer connectors preventing the connection from being made. Since you are seeing issues with a few circuits I'd suspect the issue is also related to the ground circuit not being fully connected as well. A weak ground will also cause a trailer...
