After all of my numerous problems with my surge braking system we have decided to be done with this camper.  
We have purchased a 2005 Jayco 25E, we are very excited to move up and now have electric brakes.  I know that I haven't been in a popup that long but darn tired of all the problems with the surge brakes.
DW is estatic to have places to put her things and not have to crank the top anymore.

Congrats to you guys. I know it has been a rough year for you all. I sure hope Jayco did you well.

I hope that all works out for you with your new trailer....I just hope that they gave you a really, really good deal on this new one.  You deserve it.  But you did stay with Jayco.

If your Jayco is anything like John's at the Rally (over nearer to where I was camping), well that is my dream hybrid. You should love it. I love my basic Bantam, and as long as it remains in one piece, I will not be moving up anytime soon (or so Raymond thinks anyway :Z )

PopupSgt,
 
    Hey Guy, You beat me to the punch! I am currently looking and pricing on some units. I hope all goes well with the new unit. Can I ask why this model?

We decided on this model due to the privacy of the front bunk.  There is a divider wall that slides over to divide the front bunk from the rest of the camper.  The side of camper slides out, which the kitchen & the couch is on that slide, & the room of the camper.  
We were between the 25G & 23B, but the wife thought the bunks in the 25G seemed small.  She didn't like climbing over the U shaped couch in the 23B to get to the front bunk.  
We did look a little at Starcraft but they have went backwards on their warranty to a 1 year, Jayco has still kept the 2 + 3 warranty.

Thanks, I did not know about the warranties. Two and three year is nice. Kind of gets all the bugs out of it.

Dealer didn't have one on their lot & checked with a few other dealers & none had the 23D.

Can't wait to see it, You deserve to be happy.  
I hope all works out well for you all.  I am looking into this unit as well.

Corey, congrads on the new camper.   :)

I know you can't wait to get it home.  When you go for the walk thru have them(dealer)hook everything up(water,gas ect.) mine did not have outside water hooked up and the first time I hooked up the fresh water found a couple of fittings that were not tight and had some water to mop up :mad:

Enjoy the new toy :#

Congratulations on the Hybrid ! They are beautiful creatures ! Each time I get into John's, I go " I GOTTA GET ME ONE OF THESE" :)

Now there will be two of them to say it :)

Congratulations Corey and I am hope you don't have any brake problems.  I recommend the Prodigy brake controller.  It is really simple to set and then forget it. :)
