Potential Jayco owners

Hello everyone. My wife and I are looking at Jayco Class C's to replace our Forest River Forester Class C. We have been looking at both the 29MV and the 31FK as the possible replacement. Right now I am here to read and understand how all of you as owners feel about Jayco quality and over all performance.
I look forward to reading all your advice, questions and learning from your responses. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to JOF, Gilm2113.
We don't own those particular Jayco class Cs motorhomes but we have a Seneca we bought used earlier this year and couldn't be happier.

Thanks abarkl, I appreciate it. I look forward to better understanding the differences between Jayco and Forest River.

We owned a couple of class As for many years from another major brand before the Seneca. The build quality was excellent and I would say Jayco makes them just as well.

One thing that I have gleaned so far is that Jayco C's seem to come with only one battery as standard equipment. Our Forester's came with dual batteries which worked well for us because we like to do a lot of boondocking in Idaho's National Forests. I am not sure how well one battery will serve us. I am assuming a second battery could be added.

Our Seneca came from the factory with two 12V batteries in the tray.
We've been considering adding more batteries in the next storage compartment as other Jayco class C owners have probably done if there's no more room in the tray. It shouldn't be that difficult or expensive except for the battery.
