Its what the dealer stocked that was willing to take our 1yo Forest river Hybrid as a trade as the FR dealer didn't return calls and we liked the space of the RLDS..

This was a big part of the 1st Jayco we owned...name recognition. I feel as if the other manufacturers hide behind other names.

2nd Jayco we bought was based upon the quality of the 1st one and that it had most of what we wnated and I could still tow it.

Because Jayco makes an awesome Super C (Seneca) motorhome and we got an awesome deal on a leftover 2014.

We went looking for a previously enjoyed TT seriously starting about a month ago. The first one we looked at was the Jayco 21FB we wound up buying.
It has the layout we want, plenty of storage for the gear and within the parameters of our TV. The dealer was very good, low pressure, excellent with every aspect of the sale including a comprehensive "this is how it all works", a new battery, full propane tanks and most important they made us a very good deal.
We looked at a lot of TTs including some new and very similarly sized/layout models but the Jayco was the best bang for the buck. Can't wait to get it out into the woods for some R&R.

2 year warranty

Most trailers we looked at all seemed to offer reasonably similar materials/floor plans/ etc.

We had good luck with our first Jayco. Figured they earned our business a second time.

We have our first Jayco and our first camper. We bought a 2015 27.5 HT RLST 5th wheel in September of this year and we both love it. I liked the idea of the 2 year warranty and the floor plan. We have had some problems with the Quality of the unit and for what we pay for them it should never have been shipped. My dealer is great and has bent over backwards and if not for them it would be back at Jayco. That said I would still buy another Jayco

We bought ours for three reasons: reputation for quality, warranty, and their standard features were better than the others. I'm not sure I agree that their quality is any better than the others, but certainly not worse. Our biggest issue had to do with one of the slides. Misaligned and out of square, and Jayco really fought fixing it correctly. We're past it now, and Jayco will stay at the top of my list when the time comes.

I rescued ours!
it is a 2001 Kiwi 17a that was sitting neglected in the adjacent RV storage yard where our sign company moved to in June of 2013. I noticed it looked like a pretty good little trailer so I inquired about its status and by May of this year we were the new owners.

Checked out several brands at several dealerships. They all look good when your shopping new. Wanted a hybrid and settled on ordering the Jayco 17Z after reading comments on this site, exploring the Jayco site, the two year warranty and the unit just seemed to meet our needs. Oh and a great dealer in Southern RV in Richmond, VA.
So thanks to many of you for the information.

We first bought a used 1995 1006 Pop-up ... got an excellent deal from the previous owners. We barely were into our first summer when we decided we needed something bigger. A bit of online research found us another used, this time a 14SO. Huge living space combined with a low tow weight, Tandem Axle for smooth towing, and it's the largest Pop-Up ever made, we were sold. Our local Jayco dealer is 5 mins away and always helpful, even if we didn't buy it there. Since bought, I've upgraded the battery box, and added a dual tank propane system. Love our Jayco, our next Upgrade will be into a Jayco hybrid.

Quality trailer (on our 3rd: camping trailer 1406 > Qwest 294 > Swift 294BHS) and quality dealer (Town and Country RV Clyde OH). Very, very few problems over the years - all quickly fixed. Solid units.

Fit and finish is excellent, Owned a Jayco new in 97, never had to repair a thing the 8 years we owned the 264 BH Eagle. Have a 2015 on the way....can't wait to get on the road this spring.

It had the features I was looking for in a smaller class A (31UL) at a lower price than other manufacturers. Good quality and 2 year warranty. Also like the dealer Coleraine RV in Cincinnati.

Our kids needed their own beds so a bunkhouse was a must. After looking at many other brands the build quality of Jayco seemed a lot better, better materials too. Having a murphy bed wasn't on our radar but once we saw the amount of room during the day, with the bed up, we were sold. It's nice to have a full living room in a travel trailer and it's not too cramped a night either.
This is the second camper that we've owned, had a Thor product for 3 years prior, and I have zero complaints so far.

Our first trailer was a Jayco 29d light weight trailer we went with Jayco on my sisters recommendation she had had a few campers and had problems with them other than the Jayco, we had it 7 years no problems. Wanted a bigger one went with a 2015 Vcross had issues with the slides not working no vent for the stove so you couldn't cook inside with out setting off the smoke detector(we should have noticed that befor we bought it). Decided to get a fifth wheel and there really wasn't a question of it not being a a Jayco, we purchased a 2016 rsts north point. Haven't had it out yet. Have found three shades that won't stay down will call and see about getting them fixed or r placed.

We bought a 195 RB because we are only 2 people and the floor plan was the best for our needs. In addition we have the Jayco RV dealer in town who was easy to deal with and I like to wring a neck if something does not get fixed the first time, even though I had no need for warranty work yet.

First and foremost the dealer, Blade RV in Mount Vernon, WA. Second the floor plan, price, size of the tanks (which ruled out 3 other brands) and the full body paint.
