It's a 2012 Jayco Jay Flight 26BH and we traded our 2007 Jayco 232 hybrid in. We are so looking forward to the ease of setup and teardown it isn't funny! This thing is loaded...roof ladder, electric awning, ducted A/C, porcelain toilet, outside stereo speakers, outside step light etc. etc. Also has a queen bed up front and 2 bunks out back, double on bottom and twin on top. Interior pics tomorrow. I already modified it by installing a new hand towel ring in the bathroom and moved the spare over for installation of a 2" receiver hitch! :muhaha:

Yeah that is rust...not bad really for a nearly 10 year old truck that has spent its entire life in snow country starting in Alaska and ending up in New York. Gotta love salt and sand!

Ben is now 5'9" tall and still growing. He eats a LOT! :muhaha:

Congrats on the new rig Lifted. The vans are cool but sometimes there's nothing quite like the comforts of home when you're out "camping" :cheers: :guitar:

Yup, salesman got me again...he met my target trade-in price and we shook hands! The hitch is for our bike rack. We are heading for our maiden voyage with this camper Friday morning up to Higley Flow State Park up in the Adirondacks. I don't like sleeping on the ground or in a wet tent so I will gladly buy a new camper and go in style!

Super Nice!
I gather your last name is Harper??

Kinda grabbed my eye b'cuz in Canada saying "Camping Harper Style" would be just like saying "Camping Obama Style" to Americans.
So I was expecting as a joke, either pictures of the cheepest small tent imaginable, or a super luxurios opulent rig, fit for royalty.

Pleasantly surprised, I like yours better !
:cheers:

I'm so happy that we will have little set up now!!! :bounce: :muhaha: We had our old camper down to about 45 mins of set up for having to put down 3 bunk end and the rest of the stuff. What will we do with all the extra time that we will have with the little set up :D :D
