We have a '17 17RK one of the first ones built, we got it in 2016. We tow with a Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with V6 and have no issues towing. We have around 11,500 miles on it mainly weekends and vacations. Problems with the trailer are few but I fixed them. Big problem is the refrigerator was not installed correctly. Jayco has a piece of wood inside the void for the refrigerator to fit into that is too tall, so when the crew installs the refrigerator this piece of wood gets pushed up and covers the cooling fins on the evaporator (I thinks that what it is called) this causes the refrigerator not to cool as the air can't flow by the cooling fins. The wood piece is to separate the top of the refrigerator and back of the unit. I also installed a 5" computer fan and switch in the space to force the air out. Last year the water heater tank collapsed onto itself, like it had a vacuum inside, through the winter. There no water in it, don't know why it did this, I've been around campers for 45 years and never saw this failure. I had to replace it, I just bought a replacement tank and swapped the parts, that was a all day nightmare, to save $150. I found some spots on the underside that weren't sealed so they got a healthly dose of 3M 5200 sealant (marine below waterline sealant). The power jack died, just after 3 years, installed a manual jack. Bathroom LED light burned out, but it was too bright anyway. The USB port was replaced twice as it fell apart. The thermostat I replaced as the one that came with it wouldn't shut off the heater when the power was turned on. I installed a AA battery powered digital one and it works great. Oh Jayco replace the sides seal, I installed a side topper.
