The main reason I purchased a JTR was because they are cool a shit, and my girlfriend loves to camp but will never tent camp again, so I knew I was getting a travel traile this year. This was also my first rewal world towing experience.
We just finished a 345 mile round trip adventure, up the Adiraondacks of NY. We averaged 11.7mpg for the trip. I had it up to 12.1 for the first 266 miles, then my co pilot decided she wanted a/c for the remainer of the drive. I kept it below 70 for the entire trip and didn't push it too hard on any of the climbs. I used the auto shift a few times on the way out, but not coming home.
My travel trailer, which has been dubbed "The Shed" is a 2018 Jayco Jayflight RBH, it weighs just shy of 3500 empty. We had the 2 of us, our mountain bikes, cooler, and usual camping gear.
The rear suspension felt a little bouncy on the back roads. I may need to install airbags at some point. I was really hapy with the way it performed this weekend and do not regret my purchase at all.
The rampage tow mirrors with the adapters made by @thornengineering were a godsend.
