Well, first off, let me introduce myself to yall. My name is Joel and I am from LA. My wife and I have been talking about getting a Travel Trailer and we had the perfect chance to get one - her cousins wanted to go camping and my wife refuses to sleep in a tent so I had to buy a Travel Trailer....dang the luck huh? Well, I bought a Jayco JayFlight 28BHS. I pull it with my Titan and it does resonably well. Anyway, thats it for now. Anyone have any suggestions or recomendations to do to it?

The first thing you should do is take some pictures, so we can see it!

Drive to the nearest Camping World, hand your credit card over to your wife and stand back.

Happy Camping. Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like us...we dove in and bought a new TT this year also. Do lots of reading on these forums and you will learn a lot.

As others have hinted, be ready to spend some money if you get wrapped up in buying accessories, etc.

Happy Camping!

Congratulations! We have a Jayflight 28BHS as well and absolutely love it. Hope you have as much fun with yours as we do with ours.

If you did not get a weight distribution hitch with sway control (i.e. - Equalizer or Reese dual cam) get one now.

Other than that - enjoy packing it up and enjoy camping!

We love our Jayco!
