Asking for Feedback on Precept 36T

[widebodydriver]

Hi Folks! New to the board, new to RV's and new to Jayco! We had a Coleman pop up and found ourselves not using it very much due to the lack of room and support equipment. 4 kids, ages 2-16, and need to get to West Coast and deep south from Indiana several times per year.

Looking to "make memories", see America and give ourselves plenty of room and options.

We are diving in "head first" past all the other RV options (travel trailer, 5th wheel, class C) and after much research seem to be drawn to the Jayco Precept 36T with the bunk beds, overhead sleep area and 2 bathrooms.

A couple of questions:

1. What are your thoughts on the Jayco products and service? I've seen mixed reviews across chat boards. Is the water warm???

2. Is V-10 a good way to go vs. diesel?

3. New vs. Used. Your collective thoughts?

4. Any other makes/models we should consider in our search?

5. Any regrets on "investing in an RV"? (i.e. danger, stay clear)

Thank you in advance! Your collective inputs are greatly appreciated!!!
