Isn't only their 3rd year in the A Class market? If so those numbers would have to be expected

I think it also includes ENTEGRA, diesel is mentioned.

McGarrett50, thank you for posting.
Perhaps it would have been more interesting to see the class A & class C percentages separated. I would like for them to break the comparisons to gas to gas and diesel to diesel for each of the classes.
Of course the class C models also include the Senaca (diesel).
Like Griswald One said it's the 3rd year for the Precepts and logically it would take this long for the word to get out and owners providing their evaluations.
With Jayco being a long term brand name, customers may be gravitating toward the new entries in the class A with the confidence of Jayco's history and 2 year warranty.

I'm guessing Entegra is included.

ESSEX, Conn. —

RV shipments in January were the largest in 10 years and marked the second-best start to a year since 1973.
January’s survey of manufacturers by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association showed that RV shipments to retailers jumped 10.6 percent from the same month last year, to 31,526 units.

Powered by gains in five of the seven major vehicle categories, January wholesale shipment totals represented a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of more than 435,000 units, the highest such monthly reading since September 1999.

I am guess customer dissatisfaction will increase 68% when more output is accomplished by the same personnel.
