RE: Storage bay lighting
No need for switches. Get a light that has on, off and motion sensor. My pass thru came with one on the least used end so I added another on the other end. Leave it in motion sensor mode and every time you open the hatch it will go on.
I thought about doing a motion sensor. So far these are working great.
Thanks!

Storage bay lighting
2023 Jay Flight 267BHS
I wanted to add some LED lights to my storage bay. I also wanted it to be automatic. I found some magnetic switches and LED lights on Amazon.
I have one installed. Just need to get the other side hooked up and get all the wiring cleaned up.

RE: Black Tank Treatments - Yay or Nay?
I certainly appreciate everyone’s comments here and the conversation is very intriguing. Something we all should consider here is the different type of RVer’s. I am very much a weekend warrior (and often months between trips). I can’t help but think a full-timer is going to have a very different approach to black tank use and care vs someone that only uses their camper every other month.
I am 1000% in favor of using as much water as you can while using the camper. But if the camper is in storage mode, I feel like a chemical would help with the smell.

RE: Extra storage on the tongue.
What size TT % truck you have where you could add 150 pounds to the tongue weight and not worry about too much tongue weight.
Not worried about the weight. Wheel chocks don’t weigh too much.

Black Tank Treatments - Yay or Nay?
This is two-part thread....
I have been RV camping for most of my life. I can always remember my dad using the old blue liquid in the toilet after dumping the tanks. This what I did once I started camping with my family.
How many of y'all use chemicals in the black tank?
WHEN do you use the chemicals?
I have seen few videos that talk about the treatments becoming inactive after a long period of time sitting in the tank and even causing issues with build-up. My common sense light comes on when I think about adding the treatment before the trip.
Also, this is my first camper with a built-in flush for the black tank. Once I am done, do I need to add any water or anything?
Thanks in advance!

RE: Extra storage on the tongue.
That fits perfect! I might have to do some measuring down the road.

RE: Extra storage on the tongue.
Pretty ingenious idea. On my battery boxes I tool a small piece of black duct tape and plugged those top vent holes. Otherwise rainwater running off the roof fills the boxes up.
I definitely plan on filling those holes. I was thinking a 5 min. epoxy would do the trick.

Extra storage on the tongue.
I saw this on YouTube and I decided to do it. I don't boondock (yet) so I don't need a second battery. I had to move the original battery over to make room but the new box fits like a glove.

I will be putting wheel chocks and WDH pins in there for storage. Or anything else that I don't mind getting wet. I drilled some holes in the bottom to let any water out (on both boxes).

RE: Small changes to the interior of the new camper!
I love the curtain idea. Did your trailer have a door at all for the spot the curtain covers? My older Jayco 27H has a sliding accordion door that broke years ago and I've been wanting to find a way to fix it. Your idea is perfect, I'm going to copy it rather than try to fix the old door.
No door. Just open to the bunk and sink. The toilet and shower are behind a door, however.

RE: Small changes to the interior of the new camper!
Where’d you find the curtain track?
Amazon. You can cut it to length. The curtain is a shower curtain folded in half.

Small changes to the interior of the new camper!
2023 Jayco Jay Flight 267BHS
We added a few new features to the new camper!
Swapped the mirror to a medicine cabinet.

We also added a privacy curtain between the living space and the bunkhouse/bathroom area.

Modifications to the new camper!
2023 Jayco Jay Flight 267BHS
I wanted to add a light to the outdoor kitchen. I had some LED tube lights laying around so I figured I would mount one to the ceiling. Since the outlet in the outdoor kitchen only has one plug, I wanted to add a 6-way but where it was mounted would not allow it. I relocated the outlet to the little partition. I forgot to take a before pic :S

OH, I also swapped the mini-fridge door hinge to the left side.

I should probably get a pic in the evening so the light actually shows up, LOL! OH, I also swapped the mini-fridge door hinge to the left side.

Our new camper!
My wife and I haven’t been “camping” since before The ‘Rona came around and our old camper has fallen into disrepair. We attempted to gut it and rebuild but it was too much for us to handle. We decided to buy a new camper!
Meet “JayBird”!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52913151502_1191fee602_b.jpg
This is a 2023 Jayco Jay Flight 267BHS. We didn’t intend to buy a brand new unit but we just couldn’t find the right floor plan and this one fit the bill.
We are looking forward to years of making memories with our family!
