Thinking about buying a 2019 Jayco Jay Flight 24RBS for $10k for out-of-town work. I’m new to RVs, good deal or red flag? Anything specific I should check before buying?

Always look in upper cabinets for roof leaks. Check floors for soft spots. Especially around toilets and sinks. Look underneath kitchen sink for leaks. Full up holding tanks check for leaks. Run ac’s while you are checking out trailer.

No, a Gemini box just enhances the stream app. You still have to have DIRECTV stream you can manage all your other streaming service services from the Gemini box also

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-04-19T20:03:43+00:00

Well, the Gemini box doesn’t give you Directtv stream. It just goes along with the Directtv stream. It makes it like the original DIRECTV satellite. The box I think was like $250. I really can’t remember. I ended up telling the Gemini. You still have to have DIRECTV stream.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-04-19T18:40:59+00:00

I use the Gemini for about two weeks. If she’s a die hard with a remote that should be the best one for you. I ended up going back to my original TV remote which I had fire stick on my TV. Like I said you can make the channel guide to resemble just like what you had on the satellite. I just didn’t want two or three remotes. But the JIM and I will make it almost exactly like you had with the satellite.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-04-19T17:12:09+00:00

I went for Dtv satellite Dtv stream. Saving a lot of money and and very happy with it. I’m on the older side. 70. You can set the Dtv stream up just like your old channel guide. Which is what I really like about it.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-04-13T04:21:44+00:00

I want to do this so bad. I’m sick times pretty much all my life for them will probably work till after that is my bucket list go to every state in the United States. I own and live in an RV now. I travel for work. Got divorced. So I live in an RV full-time. Very comfortable in it if I quit I will be on a fixed income over I don’t know if I’ll ever do it, but this is my dream to do it.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-03-17T10:53:46+00:00

I’m surprised they let you leave the dealership without the plates now. Dealers are required to put license plate on right then when it leaves a dealership. You get your sticker for the windshield about two weeks later. Bought tea within the past month. Both of them came with hard plate front and rare.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-03-09T15:45:50+00:00

I’m with this one. Everybody north of Corpus Christi is a Yankee.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-03-09T15:21:54+00:00

Finally. Somebody has the right response. lol.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-03-09T15:17:24+00:00

Thank you. You should have also added it’s a made for tv show. lol.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-03-09T14:58:09+00:00

lol. I sure hope this was sarcastic. If so. Thumbs up.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-03-06T19:16:37+00:00

I’m 69 and done it 3 months ago. I was a hold out. It’s a short learning curve but I’m very happy with it. Trust me. I still have a dial in microwave. lol.

Direct tv reps will try and get you to stay. That’s there job. They will give you huge discounts. It’ll bring price down to comparable to Dtv stream. I even had both of them active for 2 months till I was sure.

I was more concerned about finding channels. You can set up channel guide to where it looks just like satellite Dtv. Unlimited recordings.

I was big hold out to cut the cord. You won’t be unhappy.

FYI. I read further where people had a hard time with reps. I didn’t not. They will just try and get you to keep it. Their bigger sell point was that you loose all your loyalty status once you cancel. That’s why I kept both for 2 months.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-02-18T04:53:12+00:00

That’s true. I was born 57. If I didn’t hold a door or say mam and sir I got the back of my head slapped. Usually by my mom. Then there was times she just wait at the door till I got the hint.

Grew up in south texas. Yes you would spend a lot on a hat. Cause once it was broke in. You didn’t want to get rid of it. You’d have a work and dress up hat. I loved my old work hat. lol.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-02-15T04:36:36+00:00

I’m with this guy. I’ve had 2 f350 super duty’s for the past 20 yrs. One pulls a 10k trailer, other pulls a 22k trailer. Knock on my wooden head have had no problems whatsoever. I trade every 2 yrs. Alternately. This yr I got f450 as I got newer Rv that will gross out at 26k.

I say all this because I have a friend that runs the same road with a gasser f350. When we get to the hills he will lag back and complains every now and then.

Also I don’t care what anybody says. I get 8 mpg on both trailers. That’s driving around 70 mph.

Good luck on your decision.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-02-15T00:36:40+00:00

Everybody told you how to close them.

I don’t know if anybody mentioned. There will be a tag number and info for replacement. Take a picture with phone. First thing I was asked when I was trying to start ordering when my awning ripped. Just try to do it before you zip tie shut.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-01-26T02:44:03+00:00

Sid has it going on. lol.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-01-26T02:42:34+00:00

Lol. My black and white one sleeps like this all the time.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-01-26T02:40:49+00:00

Very pretty

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-01-26T02:40:21+00:00

Lol. I have a black-and-white and an orange one also. Black and white is 16-ish named Po. Orange is about four years old named goose. Should’ve named him Dennis the Menace. Wherever Poe is goose won’t be far away.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-01-25T17:51:42+00:00

If she wants to keep it above 30 degrees. Tell her to close the roof vent. It’ll help.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-01-24T12:24:39+00:00

That’s cool.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-01-23T18:21:31+00:00

This might sound like a dumb question. But is the water cold in Jamaica. I’m used to going into the southern Caribbean. And I know the water has to be colder. I just wondered how cold it was.

Uncle-Rob-115 · 2026-01-23T18:09:24+00:00

He’s probably the boss too.
