Jayco 2010 Jay Flight 19 BH Questions & Answers
My 2012 Jayco Jayflight 40FKS. Both the bedroom slides are not sealing up tight when put out. They both leave a large gap in one upper corner. How to solve?
An adjustment need to be made on both of your slides. Depending on the type of slide, the adjustment would need to be done on the lower outside or by inside through the cabinet and under the bed. Making the adjustments are not difficult, getting to the adjustment points may be another story. One important point is to be careful to NOT over extend the slide, this can put excessive pressure on the wall and cause the fiberglass on the exterior to crack. I found out the hard way. Wether the points for adjustment are on the inside or outside, most likely it will be a combination of push bolt with a locking nut. You will need to adjust the lower part of the slide towards the inside to even up the gap. If you can get an actual measurement of the gap, you will want the bottom gap to be just slightly larger; roughly 1-2 mm or 1/16 to 1/8". Once the gap is corrected, now you will have to make an adjustment on the screw drive or worm gear to adjust how far out the slide moves. For an older unit, like my previous 5th wheel, it was easier to remove the anchor bolts from the floor, manually push the slide out to make the slide flush and then re-anchor the drive. However you may end up adjusting, make sure you do everything slow and gradual, keeping everything even.
When I upgraded my bed from a queen to a king, I had to adjust the entire motor assembly to have it centered on the slide for even pressure. While you have your tools out and working on this, take a few extra minutes to evaluate the foam seal gasket around the inside of the slide. If you see any tears or cracks, no matter how small, go ahead and replace it now to save you time and energy later and prevent outside elements from getting in.
I need an owners manual for a 2010 Jayco 19BH
RV manufacturers dont issue an owners manual per se. There may be a generic one and if so latest should be on their website. They do bundle the manuals for all of the appliances and hopefully you have this or can look up on the internet anyone that you need. Best source is probably the owners forum. Suggest you join and ask fellow owners any questions you might have.

Locating the water heater bypass on forest river 398
Locating the water heater bypass on a Forest River RV, specifically the Forest River Georgetown 398 model, can vary based on the specific layout and design of the RV. However, in most RVs, including Forest River models, the water heater bypass valves are typically located near the water heater unit itself. Here are some general steps to help you locate the water heater bypass on your Forest River Georgetown 398:
1. **Identify the Water Heater Unit:**
- The water heater in your RV is usually located inside a cabinet or compartment, either inside the RV or accessible from the exterior.
- It is commonly found in the kitchen area, bathroom, or an exterior compartment.
2. **Access the Water Heater Compartment:**
- Locate the compartment where the water heater is installed. This could be inside the RV or in an exterior storage compartment.
- Open the compartment door to access the water heater.
3. **Look for the Bypass Valves:**
- Once you have located the water heater, look for the bypass valves near the water heater unit.
- The bypass valves are used to redirect water flow during winterization or maintenance to bypass the water heater.
4. **Check Behind the Water Heater:**
- In some cases, the bypass valves may be located behind or on the backside of the water heater unit.
- You may need to remove a panel or access door to reach the bypass valves.
5. **Identify the Bypass Valve Configuration:**
- The water heater bypass system typically consists of three valves: a cold water valve, a hot water valve, and a bypass valve.
- The bypass valve should be set to bypass the water heater when winterizing the RV or performing maintenance.
6. **Consult the RV Manual:**
- if you have one, refer to the owner's manual or documentation provided with your Forest River Georgetown 398 for specific information on the location and operation of the water heater bypass system.
If you are unable to locate the water heater bypass valves or have difficulty accessing them, it may be helpful to consult with a Forest River dealer or RV service center for assistance.
