RE: Hail damage and Mobile Techs?
My friend owns a RV repair center and he offers mobile service. For a repair like yours he would come to you since it does not involve alot of work or special tools. For other jobs he requires the repairs be done in his shop.

RE: Need recommendation for tire pressure for TT tires
I all my vehicles I put the max tire pressure that is on the tire's sidewall when towing. I air up the tires in the morning before the sun heats them up.

RE: Help with new TT purchase
Get the 15K AC. I like having a tub, sometimes after a fun day playing outside the kids need to soak in a tub of warm soapy water. With a family of 6 we love the U shape dinette.

RE: What to do if the slide doesn't work?
My 32BHDS does not have a manual override way to close the slide. I asked a Jayco Rep as well as my salesman. What I was advised to do if it should fail in the opened position was to : drop the underbelly, disconnect the slide motor, get a wrench/socket onto the slide mechanism and crank it until it closes.

RE: First time buying advice/insight
I suggest you get the family together and go to the dealership that has the exact models you are looking at and then spend some time in the TT's. Move around, sit on the toilet, stand in the shower, lay in the beds, etc. Once you do that then you can get a better idea about how that floorplan fits your family.

RE: TV Advice
Since you may upgrade to a Class A in a few years why don't you look into an Excursion. Seating for 8, 3/4 Ton towing capacity and you can find them cheaper than a new mid size SUV so you won't lose much when you sell it when you buy the Class A.

RE: What Can We Tow? What to Buy?
When I had my S-10 I only pulled a pop up with it. I think you may need to look into hybred trailers.

RE: Tub or Shower
While the kids are small, younger than 4, we alwaysed bathed them in the TT. Once they got older they started using the shower. My 6 year old still likes to take a bath sometimes when we camp.
Our second TT did not have a tub, didn't realize how often we used it until we missed it.

RE: What's Your Overall Length?
TT measures 35' 6" add 3 more feet if we extend the bike tray. Our TV is 19'. Have not had problems finding sites to camp, just some sites i need to park the TV next to the TT instead of keeping it in front.

RE: Does This Trailer Make My Butt Look Big?
Had a 27BH then bought the 32BHDS, it is over 6 feet longer. I haven't noticed a difference when towing, just need a little more room to swing her in when backing up.

RE: I'm smitten with a TT and have a frivolous question
How about an Excursion? My 2004 Ex has a tow rating of 9600lbs and we tow a Jayco 32BHDS. Its a gasser but there are diesels out there for sale as well.

RE: Closing or opening a slide out manualy
Believe it or not my TT does not have a manual crank. On my PDI I inquired on how to manually close the slide and was told there is no way to do it. I did read where someone with the same TT did drop the underbelly , disengage the slide motor and used a racket to close the slide.

RE: Slide outs good or bad?
People will eithe love or hate slide outs. We are on our 3rd TT, the current one is the first with slides. With 4 kids and 3 dogs I find slides are necessary. I know with slides there will be some additional maintenance/risks but I believe the Pros outweigh the Cons.
