Great to hear guys. Love you impressions/feelings on things like the movement while parked & the stability whilst driving. And the vibrations of washing machine - all these things are rarely thought about whilst looking at a shiny new motorhome in the dealer. Well done Scott
We found that by using velcro dots we could cut out pieces of Foil back insulation and stick them into all the backs of our food cupboards thus making them much cooler as the sides of the van get very hot as well.
hey guys great tips very relevant information i would never have thought about when buying a motorhome the little things make a difference including driving information around fuel consumption ,handling etc well done video guys😁😁
Hi we have the same model MS24-4 in the Optimum range. We love ours. We have the swivel seats but had to remove the backboard on the passenger seat to get it to swivel right around as Jayco cut the board 2cm too high.
Another great video - really practical review of living in the van. Getting some great destination ideas for when we get our Motorhome. I am struggling to find a video for the Conquest motor homes showing how low the drop down bed goes (assuming you lower the table fully etc) i.e. what's the lowest it can go?
I was wondering if once you have loaded everything, including full fuel and water tanks as well as yourselves, in to your jayco motorhome, whether you have considered taking it to a weighbridge to check the loaded weight hasn’t exceeded the vehicles GVM ?
I'm liking the reviews. I would like to know how the about sleeping aspect, especially for us over six foot and heavy set. So far, I'm sold on this motorhome.
Cheap solution. = The fabric ?? material used as a grip for opening bottles or non slip can be cut to small pieces and used as a anti rattle and antislip mat.
Hi again, no we did not get the optimum version. We did upgrade to leather lounge area and lithium batteries and extra solar panel. We did not feel the need for a diesel heater but have now been to some places where it would have come in handy.
Hi and thanks for sharing, I currently have a jayco silverline caravan and I'm thinking of changing to a motor home, I have a couple of questions I assume table and chairs go into the luton peak ? where could I store a bbq say weber q ? and lastly I tilt my awning with one side down to avoid pooling in rain, what do you do with yours ? keep the videos coming Phil
Hi Phil, spot on, the chairs and table go up in the luton peak. Storage for a BBQ is probably an issue. you could place it on the floor under the dining table when you travel. We did that in the past with the smaller MH. At our hand over, the Jayco sales rep tilted the awning for us, for the rain to run off and we left it just like that. Thanks for the message.
Hi guys, I've watched a few of your videos but haven't seen the one where you decide to upgrade from the RM20.5. Are you happy to share the reasons here?
Of course. We were going to do full time until we had to come home because of our tenants. During our full time we realised we needed more room to make our experience easier for both of us. We both loved our 20-5 but decided full time living in it would be hard for us.
Drove a 38' RV in Alaska ina good cross wind. It was like an americas cup yacht under spinnaker. It could push you across the road easily . RVs and wind mean CAUTION.
Small washing machines dont cater to small loads. Its out of balance. Like putting one towel into a big machine. Van park machines and dryers can be a alternative
Definitely agree with you, we tend to alternate between the washing machine in the van and then also use the ones at van parks if we have a big load of washing to do.

Glad you enjoyed it!

That's a great idea! Thanks for the tip
You are welcome.@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77
Terrific love the info on stability & movement important if one has balance issues. Very informative 💞
Glad it was helpful!

Hi guys, there is always something, as long as it can be fixed all is good. Hope your having lots of fun in the MH.

Just did a vid on the bed which will be in next weeks video. Hope it answers your questions
Drops to the level of sitting area if cushions are removed. The overhead cabinet base drops down into cushion space.
I was wondering if once you have loaded everything, including full fuel and water tanks as well as yourselves, in to your jayco motorhome, whether you have considered taking it to a weighbridge to check the loaded weight hasn’t exceeded the vehicles GVM ?
Hi, no we have not weighed this one yet. We had the little motorhome weighed. It is something we will get around to.
I'm liking the reviews. I would like to know how the about sleeping aspect, especially for us over six foot and heavy set. So far, I'm sold on this motorhome.
Just did a special vid for you regarding this . Will all be in next weeks video.Thanks for the question
Love all your videos
Thank you 😊
In regards to the top cupboards have you heard rattling noise, and found a way to reduce the noise of rattling cups n sauces?
Not that I know of

Hi.
Is your model the ‘Optimum’ version which has the diesel heater and some other upgrades?
Hi again, no we did not get the optimum version. We did upgrade to leather lounge area and lithium batteries and extra solar panel. We did not feel the need for a diesel heater but have now been to some places where it would have come in handy.
@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 great thank you.

regarding movement, isn't there stabiliser legs on it?
Sadly this model does not have stabilisers.Well i hope i have not missed that lol
Could you get them installed?
@@ladysusanjane2682 yes including a full automatic leveling system.

Thanks for sharing. I've ordered an RM20.5 and wondered about the small size being an issue long term.

Definitely have to take it easy in the strong winds. Cheers.
Ditch your loooong intro!
All good, you will see a revamped shorter intro soon.
