We went with a 220RD over a 202 because the "dining" area was too small. 6' 200+ lb guy sitting around the table at the far end didn't work. That's my one knock on a 202. Sit on the pot, make sure...

I'm aware of the corporate overlords. The 212 has obvious better build quality than the 220. And the dealer service stated plainly they have better luck with the Jayco trailers than Keystone and...

IMHO "fuel price" posts are pretty useless. QT this AM was 3.28, was 3.45 just 4 days ago. Alsups on one side of the highway was 3.34, the Iron Horse on the other was 3.42. Little stations in...

Seems to me that unless you have a bodacious fresh and grey water tank, the "Navy" shower is the only way to get it done. Our 220 has a 27 gallon grey and that's max 4 days two people, Navy style...

I like the 7.3. Also, I'm not a diesel fan. Not to mention its $10k cheaper. It's also 4x2 because I have no use for a 4x4. Which is why we had to order it - everybody apparently wants a diesel 4x4...
