Parking at Jayco for the factory tour

[jdux999]

Hello All. I searched the threads and couldn't find the answer. I'll be going to the Jayco factory in 2 weeks and I'd like to know if Jayco lets you boondock in their parking lot overnight if your going to the factory tour and museum. I'll be there Monday and Tuesday. Thanks for the help.

Bunch of parks in the general area less than 10 miles. We wanted hookups as no generator so did not ask or notice a few years ago.

There is adequate room. If you're going for service they have several w/e hook-ups at the service center.

I would call and find out. I would not assume that it is allowed unless you have a appointment.

If you are unable to find a camping spot the Farmstead Inn in Shipshawana is a nice clean safe place. Free breakfast. Lots of parking. You are 12 minutes door to door to Jayco factory service. We stayed there at end of March when we needed the kitchen slide repaired on our 2017 Eagle. None of the local campgrounds opened until April 1st.
Lots to see and do in Shipshawa and Milbury area. Bakeries, cheese shops, lots of shops. At the stop sign in downtown Shipshawa go west On north side of the road is a cheese factory. You can taste test about 20 different cheese types. The grocery store south of the flea market on highway 5 is worth a visit. Oh cash or personal cheque only. No debit or credit cards. They carry your purchases out to your vehicle in real grocery bags... The old school paper ones.
At the time we where there Jayco only had maybe 4 electrical hookups total. You are basically in a parking lot for the factory. Nothing close by as far as variety store. Lots of truck traffic going around on the streets.
It was cold enough in March leaving fridge running overnight on propane gas was a non issue for us in the Inn parking lot. Some of the Hotshot delivery drivers where staying at the Farmstead Inn as well. It was safe and secure in the parking lot. Inn has nice large quiet rooms. If you are there when the flea market is running its fun to go thru. The 5 and 20 restaurant is a good food restaurant.

It's not far from Middlebury and they allowed boondocking in their parking lot if you were going/went through their museum. We did that a few years ago and hopefully they still offer that.
