OK - just left a msg for the salesguy to add the OVEN back in. Also to make sure I get both the WD hitch and the dual sway control. And if they can do a graphics delete. Being a fan of a certain state school, the blue graphics would not look good with my garnet/gold TV. I have had some work done at a local graphics shop and I'm sure he can do some amazing work on the x23j.

It's going to be a long 8 weeks (hoping for shorter).

anticipation!!!!
8 weeks, well, it will be worth the wait!

Good move on the oven and the WDH. Even if you don't use the oven very often, I think sooner rather than later you will be glad it is there.
Will they do a graphics delete?? It would be neat to have a custom trailer. I guess you are thinking a Florida State theme....?

I found a guy over on the Jayco forums that, get this, paid $120 for a graphics delete I'm hoping that if I do it this early in the process I will not have to pay them to NOT put them on

FSU in color only, don't want a big seminole logo on it when I go to trade it in next year OK, I think I'm kidding......

For any car nuts, here's what I did to a Mustang, hope to not go to crazy with the HTT http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h17/nole_trainer/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ20

Someone else mentioned, but hopefully you will get the Reese SC, which is almost a clone of the Equilizer. I switched to it a couple of years ago and am completely happy. I think the Reese SC, Equalizer, or Reese Dual Cam are the best choices. Price kind of varies as to what the dealer sells.

Congratualations.

Research on RV's is hard because most everyone likes what they have, but may not be what you want. Bottom line, if you like it, that's all that is important.

Happy Camping!!

i think adding the oven is a good idea, since the 23J has tons of inside storage available.
it makes sense in smaller hybrids, to delete the oven, since inside storage is at a premium.
our 23SS has more inside storage than we can fill!

I would have left the oven off and got a little convection oven. That is what I did and I keep it outside on trips so I don't have the heat in the trailer. The oven in the trailer is used to hold our bread.

if you don't have electric hookups, a convection oven is useless.
in Calif., less than 1% of our state park campsites have electric hookups, so we don't have that luxury and a regular oven is very necessary.
but, if i ever start full-timing, my new rig will have a convection.
