Today i pulled the PU out for a good cleaning for our trip next month and i noticed the one bed rail was really loose, so i tried to tighten the screws and they were breaking off as i was tightening them. It turns out the screws they used are drywall screws. They only used them on the one bedrail, the other three have wood screws. I had to go to Home Depot and pick up some
#10  2 1/2 in. flathead screws to fix the problem. I had to drill new holes through the bedrail to fix the problem. It was a pain but i got it done and its sturdy again. I sent Jayco a nasty e-mail telling them about the problem and i'm waiting so see if they respond. I just had to vent, Thanks, Ed

I love going to Home Depot, it's my home away from home!!
We ordered some wooden shutter blinds for our kitchen that are on sale. We've been looking at them for some time now. We have Six windows in our kitchen, 2 of them are large. Oh yeah, i got my screws too!!!
