Everyone's setups are so nice, I feel like I'm in the low-rent district with my trailer. ;) My setup has performed wonderfully for us, so as long as the roof holds up, we'll keep using it.

It appears the previous owner did not proper seal/dry out the roof leakage. I patched some large tears in the roof after I got it, and sealed the patches and roof well, but the wood under the interior covering is showing signs of fuzzy stuff. :'( I have no idea how far the damage extends and estimates to this day are higher than the trailer's value.

Can a portion of the roof be replaced? Or does the entire roof need to be replaced? Maybe this question should be in a different thread. I'm just sort of thinking out loud today. :-blah

Craig, I had to have sections of roof replaced in my old RV so I know that it can be done

Nice setup! This looks about like my rig, just an older model of trailer.

The Jayco is a nice trailer.

Is that a "kid alert" I spy? Man, haven't seen one of those for a long time.

Thanks; yes, we call it a "slow turtle." Inside family joke but we use it more with the kids riding bikes--figured it couldn't hurt to throw more brightly colored objects into the street to slow folks down. :-)

Gulf State Park. It's HOT! Put up rolled Reflectix insulation in all windows and cooled off about 5 dg.

Good times. Big pool and short drive to public park beach. Jellyfish are heavy this week.

We just got back July 1st. from a month's stay over in Silverhill,Al. at Wales West RV Park... Which is about 30 min. from the State Park. We wanted to stay at the State Park, but they only allow up to 2 weeks at a time. We did drive thru it though. The Beach pavilion near the park entrance is really nice.

Have had this for about five years or so. Got it for $900 and everything worked. Used it quite a bit at first but not so much since out son was born. Got Nother one on the way so we a are looking to upgrade next year. Something bigger and more kid friendly. But for what we wanted at the time it was perfect!

Opens up to about 24 feet and has tons of storage. Nothing fancy but better than a tent :)
