Sad

You know, I agree as a rule that it is polite to ask and not assume, but I admit the thread makes me somewhat sad. I grew up in a subdivision where only one house had a fenced yard. The kids roamed...

I bought one with our first rig in 1995, and it died in about six months. I removed it to get things working, and never replaced it. I have logged 250,000 miles on three coaches over 27 years with no...

Nothing New

I have a 2016 Seneca, and I’ve been reading posts like yours for the last six years. Jayco quality control is virtually nonexistent. This is not new thing. As long as people continue to buy, and put...
