The Cat at the house before our first trip.

Here is a photo of our 31BH2B and our truck before our first trip. I will post more after we get the cat back from the dealership.[img]

Looks real good. It also looks like Forest River have changed the rear jacks, so that they pivot from the center of the cat?

I'm liking the new decals. Like the way they changed the rear jacks to.

The rear jacks on my 2011 31TS also pivot from the center. They lower by electric and come down at the same time. I guess it's a trade off, but I rather liked independent rear jacks. It allowed me to crank one side or the other down to avoid a lot of blocks on uneven ground. Using a battery powered drill got them down in no time. Now I have one foot on the ground and sometimes 4 - 6 inches of boards under the other. Not a real big deal, but just more to do when setting up.

That's a good looking rig. The new decals are nice, but - I wish FR wouldn't keep changing the decals so often. It makes our 2007 look old. Wink

The electric rear jacks are self-leveling. You don't need to block up (shim) the high or low side jack. Once the one leg contacts the ground the other will keep moving until it contacts the ground and then it'll load with equal force. I never shim my rear jacks. I do use wood blocks (6X6) of the same size under each leg to shorten the distance they need to travel.
