Are There Things You'd Like Jayco to Change?

[Murphie]

I would agree with a lot of the previous posts when it comes to things that they could have done but didn't which wouldn't have added much to the costs. Wind sensor for electrical awning. I will install this myself in the next little while. It's a hundred dollar item but had they added it from the factory it would have been only a tenth of the cost. A vent opening in the main living area. It's rather dark in our trailer on overcast days, that would have made a big difference. A light for the outside stairs which are hard to see even with the outside light on. Have since added one. A better set of tires than the Marathons from China. Rigid heating ducts. One of our lines were ripped almost in half. Better tank monitors. It was so disappointing to see that old monitor in our trailer. A light in our storage compartment. Will add one myself. I guess that's about it. Oh oh oh, one more thing. Get rid of those cheap cheap plastic sinks.

I can't change your arm length or install a "thingy", but I had the same problem. This is how I solved it.



I went to the local hardware store and bought a magnetic door latch. If it is very windy I would not trust it, but in 3 years I have not had it close when it was "latched". I can pull on the top of the door to "unlatch" the door.

I would love Jayco to be more proactive about communicating model year changes and providing specifics to the selling dealers. I ordered a 2013 but got a 2014. I ordered Amaretto but it was discontinued. All these things were surprises. My salesman was very diligent about checking with the factory, but many times even he felt that Jayco couldn't get him an answer.

I would assume that factories would plan and ramp up well before the production actually starts, so why then the lack of communication to the folks on the ground?

Would love windows in the sides on our slid on our 27dsrl whitehawk

Light switch for the bedroom. Climbing on the bed to reach the overhead light is a pain and the reading lights are not located so I can see inside the surround cabinets.

That's it. We really like this TT.

I am 5'3" and use a toothbrush to turn on the vent! Lol!
I think I would like to have better quality locks on the storage doors. I don't think they're going to last much longer. Other than that, I'm very happy with my Jayco!

I would like to see Jayco go back to the deeper shower pans.

There is water on the floor whenever the shower is used in my X23B.....

Wife is short and has a hard time turning on bedroom lite, switch on wall would be nice.

I would like to see color on the awnings again, the all white while cooler are a pain to keep clean. At least the color hides some of the dirt and stains.

I have a 2011 26RLS and my bathroom vent fan has a switch on the wall next to the light switch.It is factory switch.

Ditto our 320RLDS, but not in the bedroom, as others have mentioned. It's a good reach for my 5-4 DW and lots of folks are shorter still.

I wish the outside storage compartments had lights. Doesn't matter now as they completely changed the entertainment center, but in our particular layout, I wish the radio was on the opposite side of the entertainment center so when you have a cable or USB drive plugged into, you didn't hit it as you were walking in the door. Better mattress on both the queen bed and the bunks. We added foam toppers, but would've been nice not to have to spend that extra money. I probably would have also put the switches for both slides by the front door. Other than that I've changed the things I didn't like. Added the digital thermostat, an under the sink water filter and drinking water fountain, LED interior bulbs, and the plexiglass on the screen door.

If I were to pick and choose things to change I would probably add 50A electrical service, a second A/C unit, and better insulation for both the heating and cooling benefits. There are times that the A/C unit has trouble keeping up.

We have a 2013 284BHS and love the trailer except it is a little dark on the inside and have to the lights on during the day. I would like to see a skylight in the living area.

The only other real complaint I have is the poorly designed tub. It should have a lip on the edge so the water does not constantly run onto the floor. I had to run a bead of silicone across the front of the tub so the trailer did not flood!

we have lots of closet space but they used rods in all the closets -I'd like to see more shelves used...

[Crabman]

I hope "they" read this consider all these suggestions!

On our Greyhawk, I would like the outside storage doors hinged on the bottom so I don't have to use my balding head to hold them up. We ordered ours painted, but it would be nice if they painted the sides of the slides. A fiberglass roof in lieu of the rubber. Also, more lights in the storage compartments. Two of the smallest ones have lights, but the rest do not - including the large under-bed storage.

I would like to see shelf material beside the entertainment center to be a bit thicker. On my last move my Play Station fell through the thin shelf material. it will be an easy fix this fall. This was the only item ever on this shelf.

I would like Jayco to do some research on placement of slide out covers. I see many other brands that have theirs mounted such that water runs off and does not pool in the middle of the slide cover.

I've seen TT's with the clear plastic door latch cover where there is a round thingy that engages the door latch when lifted ( without opening the little plastic door to access the door latch )
