Potential Issues?

We have a 2017 JayFeather 23RLSL has been used about 75 nights thus far and 5,000 miles with both dry and developed camping. Have had absolutely no problems with it at all. Tows like a champ, easy set up, no leaks or failures, nothing. This is our 3rd Jayco camper and were always trouble free. What if any problems should we anticipate and be prepared for with it? Many of our friends have other brands and seem to be constantly plagued with little issues and we just want to know what to expect as our unit ages.

You take care of the JF and it will take care of You in happy joyful camp outings.
Maintenance is always the big point with RV's. Jayco still built a good product, there may fall one or two through the manufacturing cracks, but that's with any manufacturing process no matter what equipment. Don't forget appliances are made by different manufactures, same with frames, axles etc.

You simply can’t predict what will break and when it will break. I can tell you from my experience with our TT that the cheap plastic faucets in these campers will eventually fail...the knobs will break in half or the water won’t completely shut off. Other than the faucets, we have had very few issues over the past 5 years. Set up a scheduled maintenance list based on the amount of towing and use of your TT, replace the tires after 4-5 years and address problems promptly when they appear and you will be fine .
