BouncingTiggers 98 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yahooooo!!!! After some of the most intense haggling I've ever done we reached an agreement on a 2011 Jayco 23B. I say intense only because I didn't give up until I got the price exactly where I wanted it. :rofl2: I'll be trading in our 2010 Roo 19 that we have had for two seasons & two trips to the fort. Now that we have a dog & know exactly what we like & don't like in a trailer it is time to upgrade. Again we are purchasing through RVDirect & would recommend anyone give them a try. They again have the best prices I could find & they have excellent customer service. We won't be picking it up for another few weeks but here are some pics. Once I finally get it I can get me a snarky logo & a musket mickey from Jen :rofl2: :D :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stefa70 205 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Congrats Steve!! Looks very similar to my roo 23b, except I also have a back door and my couch and table are reversed (My table is in the slide) When is your maiden voyage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks very similar to my roo 23b, except I also have a back door and my couch and table are reversed (My table is in the slide) When is your maiden voyage?The paperwork won't be finished until this coming week. They have to fedex everything to me & then we will need to setup the PDI which should be in about 2 weeks or so. Unfortunatley we don't usually get out until June when the weather is warmer but I don't know what we will do this year. I'm itching to get out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daddyphat808 - Eric 16 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Congrats!!! Nothing better than a 23B! I love that not much has changed with the exception of some cabinets. I see a new project on my hands!! I am so glad you got it at the price you were looking for! :rofl2: :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Congrats! How was RVdirect with negotiating on the price? I got a quote from them, but a local dealer gave the same price without asking and I got the local to go down a little more. Have fun!Best Regards,Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have fun!Best Regards,NormThis time I was looking at a unit on one of their lots so was able to negotiate more than if I was ordering. If that is what you are try to do than I'd buy from the local guy just because I like supporting local businesses. In saying that my local dealer was $4000+ higher than RVDirect. If you are ordering a unit I'd be surprised if the local dealer could touch them. When I ordered my Roo 19 they sent me all the paperwork & the actual invoice price was on it. They were only making $1000 on the sale which to me wasn't much & they were still $5000 lower than my local dealers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JCJRSmith 6 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Congratulations!!!The very first camper I ever owned was a 2002 Jayco Kiwi 23B. Loved it. Here it is at Fort Wilderness in 2004: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JCJRSmith 6 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Here is a modification I did to our 23B - I put home-made shelves in the closet - made it much easier for storing clothes for me, SWMBO and the kids: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daddyphat808 - Eric 16 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Here are pictures of our mods so far.First we added a night light in the kitchen area. It is from boatusa. What is nice at night with the kids it gives a clear view of the floor so I can make it to the fridge or bathroom.The biggest change was adding laminate flooring. The floor felt a little soft for me so we pulled the vinyl and sheeted it with 1/4 plywood. This let us check the floor for any leaks. We found a small one in the back corner closet. And also give a little more strength. With the flooring and the 1/4 ply it added almost 1/2 an inch and a sturdier feel.Next up is shelving in the rear coat hanging area. It was a no brainer.Then we added drawers to the shelf area next to the stove. This made a huge change in having a place to store silverware and such!Last is we moved the track that holds the shower curtain farther out at the top to give us chubby fellas a little more space.

That floor looks really good & must have taken a long time.Thanks for posting them.Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
