I would say this is due to their 2 year warranty and willingness to fix what is wrong without a hassle. I owned two Jayco's and both had a long list of problems. Perhaps I was in the minority of owners but both had some obvious QC defects and one leaked badly. Since most people here sing their praises, as I said, perhaps I was unlucky twice. As far as models I'm not a big fan of the Superlite's and IMHO the regular Eagle's are a better product for not much more $$$ Good luck in your search. Also Shop KZ, Crossroads and such. They also offer 2 year warranties.

Jayco puts out an excellant product. We've had 2 minor warranty issues and they were fixed promptly.

I would agree that you get what you pay for. The lightweights, entry level units don't hold up. I have a Designer Legacy fifth wheel and love it...lots of upgrades like extra insulation in roof and walls (cooler in summer, warmer in winter) Insulated windows, cherry wood, floor to ceiling shower walls (Short walls tend to get water behind them over time)...I could go on but I would buy another when the time comes. 2003 3330 Jayco Legacy MrRepair • View posts North East New Member Joined: 10/21/2009 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/27/09 04:17pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I'm a fan for sure. this is my third 5ver and i could have gotten any 5ver but went with the Jayco 2010 Jayco Designer 35RLTS 2009 GMC 3500 Dully 4x4,CC,D/A TURK2500 • View posts USA Senior Member Joined: 04/12/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/27/09 05:52pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator 54ktmracer1 wrote: are Jayco`s as good as all the salesmen say? IMO if the RV salesman was selling brand "X", the conversation wouldn't change. I tend to rely on consumer feedback (this forum, etc.) and some personal due diligence, which sounds like what you are doing now. As far as Jayco, I have owned two Eagles, had a couple of issues with my present Eagle, but overall pleased with my TT and the company behind it. What ever manufacture/model you decide on, put as much time in picking out a good RV dealer as well. Turk2500 05 Jayco Eagle, 278FBS, UVW 7,063lbs, GVWR 9,000lbs.

The first was a TT and the current is a fifth wheel. Nearing 10 years and 60,000 miles with zero problems of any consequence and only 1 warranty repair, I'd say the go for it.

Service however is something we experienced when we had to take ours back to the factory to repair a bit of user inflicted damage - They treated us great and delivered everything promised, when promised From someplace in SE Wisconsin 2006 Silverado 2500 Ext-cab / reg box / D/A 2006 Jayco Eagle 325BHS 2001 Goldwing, Cyclemate trailer and a tent (to remind me why we have the Jayco) 1999 BMW 1200C (007 bike) too cool to part with Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 6   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Fifth-Wheels  > Jayco Owners
