Yup, your boy looks like he's running in to get mom, "Come on mom, we're leaving"
Did you ever get the seal material? If not, and you have exhausted your search, maybe some bulk stuff from J.C. Whitney might work?

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.

We went to Lake Summersville outside of Beckly, WV. Pretty good trip, rained off and on; another thing, I learned now to not always trust the GPS. There are some roads you just can't (don't want to) go with a travel trailer. I'll need to confirm the route prior to departure next time.
I did find the seal material from the dealer and also found it online. I have yet to replace it but plan to make the replacement this winter.
thanks,

Welcome to WV!!!! I live here and have the same problem. There are roads on my Garmin that don't exist or they look more like goat paths. We love going driving in the country and frequently laugh at some of the roads it considers passable.
We haven't been to Summersville yet but have lots of friends that go there.

According to our RV retailer, our pop out hard sided bed makes this Jayco a HTT. Technically, I thought HTT’s featured soft sided pop outs, but I’m new to all of this. Here is a link to photos of our travels this summer. Cheers all!

your Jayco is an "expandable" but not a hybrid. a hybrid is a marriage of a conventional TT and a popup. have to have canvas ends, to be a hybrid.
all hybrids are "expandables" but not all "expandables" are hybrids.
your Jayco isn't any different than any other TT that has a hard-sided bed slide, except yours is on the rear of the trailer, instead of the side of the trailer, like most have.
using the manufacturers term of "expandable" would mean any RV with a slideout is an "expandable".![scratchead [emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/scratchead.gif)
but you have a very nice trailer there and i hope you and your family create great memories in it.

I would still consider it a Hybrid. A Hi-Lo is a Hybrid.

Disagree, popeye. Hybrids involve tented bed ends. No Hi-Los have that. Hi-Lo: expandable, yes; hybrid, no.

Not just my opinion. Myrvnetwork.com also thinks so. Not saying anything except each person will have his/her own definition and should be allowed to.

that was written by someone who has no idea of the history/creation of hybrid travel trailers. if you go to their Hybrid section of their forum, there's never been a post or thread there.
shows how unused their forum is.
that info goes against what every other industry definition of hybrids is. that's why most here define a "hybrid" as a TT with canvas bunk ends.
i frequent 4 different Hybrid forums and all consider a HTT, as being a TT with canvas ends.
Hi-Lo and Trailmanor are so unique that they don't really fit into a particular category, except "expandable".

I have to agree with Bikendan......an Hybrid is a combination of a popup and a travel trailer. If it has canvas and it's expandable............than it's an Hybrid.
If it just extend without canvas....than it's an expandable.
Are you gonna call a motorhome with a slide out an hybrid? I don't think so.
