What made you pick the Jayco aver the "other" brands?

[Bigmike1461]

I was looking at that trailer how do you like it

[Paulx213]

Layout and quality for the price. We have been looking for a family friendly layout in a smaller trailer for a while. Tougher then we thought.
The X213 Jay Feather got us bunks for the girls, a king size bed for us, a full size couch, dinette and bathroom all in a 21 foot trailer.

The other factor was an evening my wife and I wandered around the seasonal area of our favorite local campground and noticed how many Jayco products we saw.

The 33 RLDS ? We like the bathroom close to the bedroom. A door to the bedroom and not just curtains. And the huge living space with the opposable slides in the back..The wardrobe slide is great too. Lots of storage.

The 3 slides & the Fireplace. (330rlts)

We used our fireplace this weekend. It was upper 30's at night

Because of the large bathroom in the back and the seperate bedroom up front. We still laugh at having two sinks in the bathroom.

We have camped in a fleetwood prowler tt then a 2002 forest river wildcat 5th wheel. Had great times in both. We have also learned a lot about campers in the process. We have looked at a lot of new campers in the last 9 months. Went to a family reunion in McComb Mississippi. Went to the local rv dealer while there and looked at jayco 5th wheels. WOW we were impressed. Gonna wait now for the 2014 that are just starting to come out.

Privately held company, warranty, quality, more bang for the buck, and most important of all - the DW said `I like it'!

Of all the dealers we looked at, the ones with Jayco seemed more professional and knowledgeable than the others. Ended up buying used, but the decision was still for a Jayco. By the end of our searching we were really only looking at jayco products and found one in the layout we preferred, could be towed by our veh and was the right price. This is our first year with it and we are very happy.

Really bad experience with a Keystone TT gave us a lot of info on what to look for when it was time to upgrade. After spending more and more time down south in the winter, we decided it was time. Oldest Daughter has a Jayco pop-up and the quality and features are far superior to the Coleman [they're pretty good] that we grew up with. Did a lot of talking to fellow campers and research on forums and the majority led us to Jayco. Saw a White Hawk on a trip last year and liked it. Owner was very positive about it. Started out looking for a 5th W but soon found that although they say some are made that can be towed with a 1500, its really not a great idea. Also the wifes Crew Cab Silverado is not recommended by GM for 5'ers. Not going to do a sales job for Jayco, but the White Hawk pretty much sold itself. The 30DSRE has given everyone we know the "Wow" reaction when they step inside. We think its the perfect layout for a retired couple with comfortable sleeping quarters, full bath and walk in shower, and a main salon that we still find hard to believe.

Short answer to the OP ? Reputation and Product design. The Most for a fair price that we can tow with the Silverado.

My family had Jayco pop tent trailers growing up, so it was the first and really only company I was interested in. That and the plywood over OSB construction and 90 Gal fresh water tank... Sold!

[Redhorse 823]

Like most we looked at them all
Took almost 18 months of research and shopping

1. Value for dollar--great price on quality
2. 2 year warrantee
3. BBB report on Jayco vs others
4. Family owned
5. The dealership -- no pressure sale, knowledgeable on products, ease to work with
6. This web site
7. BBB report on the dealer

Just my .02

[Campwhenican]

I would have to say quality. The first one we bought was solid and that is why we are planning on getting another one.

[robkelly]

The quality and the warranty - we looked at several different brands, but nothing came close to the quality of the Jayco. The dealership was also great in that there was absolutely no pressure and they helped guide us to the unit that was right for us.

We have owned several popups. The 1980 Jayco Cardinal 8 was the best. We bought it used when we first started camping again. Replaced the canvas. When we noticed roof sag, Jayco built a roof for it and priced very reasonable. We has few good years in that popup, sold it to the next family. We bought a Rockwood by ForestRiver with an extended warranty. Well popup developed week corners in the floor. Oh that is not covered. Moved on to Fleetwood Coleman. It is just the wife and I now, we decided it was time for a TT we looked at several brands but the quality of the Jayco popup kept coming back, we narrowed it down to StarCraft and Jayco, Jayco won due to the dealer. We bought a 2014 248FBS

[chas111]

Two year warranty and better craftsmanship.

[Canadian couple 1983]

Quality! And floor plan nothing else really compared

When I started looking 2 years ago, Jayco's didn't even cross my mind. I had my heart set on another brand. While I was checking it out at the dealer, I noticed that one of the shades was hung crooked. Sure enough, all the shades were hung crooked, there were ripples in the siding (both interior & exterior), and the storage compartment doors were twisted. I decided to Google _______ travel trailer complaints, and boy did I find a ton of them. Mostly ignored by the manufacturer until the units were out of warranty. I did the same for every major brand with similar results . . . until I Googled Jayco. (That's actually how I discovered this forum.) The few complaints I found were all handled by Jayco in a timely manner - often even after the warranty had expired. I figured a company has to be pretty confident in its products to offer a 2-year warranty, and pretty appreciative of its customers to treat them so well. That's when I started looking at Jayco products, and discovered how really reasonably priced they are for everything you get. I plan to start full-timing next winter, and that's why I bought my Eagle!

Hey Brownie.... WELCOME!!!

You will find a lot of good information here, I know I have!

I hope you enjoy your new Jayco, Come on Spring!!

[DJL1967]

I did lots of research and compared many different brands. Was sold on Jayco's quality of materials, fit and finish and lastly their 2 year warranty!
Looking forward to my first year as a TT owner.
