Jayco RVs and RV reviews

Robert

We bought the Jay Feather 23 B, from day one the water connections leaked under the kitchen sink, when you flush the toilet, the connection shoots water all over the floor, drawers have broken because the support are not well designed nor supported, the Dealer has closed shop, and can get no help finding how to solve problems with the trailer.

future RV buyer

The Skylark 21 front kitchen: Cooktop and sink are both too small and close together. Where are dishes placed to drain after washing? (there is enough room for a double sink).

Charlie

Thinking about buying a 1996 Jay Series Jayco Tent Trailer. WHERE IS THE BATTERY? I can't see a hook-up anywhere?

........

This trailer looks ideal for my family. I'm wondering though if the dining table comes in a formation that can be turned into a bed. Also I would like to see a picture of the bathroom area and the back bedroom area. Thanks

Rick

We bought our first new in December of 2009. It was a 28' class C Jayco Greyhawk. The overall appearance and the layout is great.Unfortunately, that's where it ends. The quality and the craftsmanship is terrible. They have put this thing together with the cheapest components that money can buy. I know that my next motor home WILL NOT be a Jayco!!!

Re: Jayco Pinnacle fifth wheel

Alison

We have only had our Jayco since the end of February. Brand new 2011 when we bought it. Since we have had it, we had a leak from behind the stove due to cracked tubing from where the fresh water is put in, our outside kitchen area was leaking with every rain and after numerous attempts at caulking, we think it has finally stopped only if we don't have it open when it is raining. And now, after only having it in our possession for 3 months because for 4 weeks now, it has been sitting at the dealership waiting to be worked on, the brakes need adjusted apparently and the dealership says it isn't under warranty and it is a "maintenance" issues and our $. Not to mention that the salesman that was so accommodating before we bought it won't even return our calls, and we found out the company has never put the warranty in our name. Found that out after calling Jayco directly to file a complaint. Not to mention that my husband had to leave work to go to the dealership and PROVE it was the camper and not the truck due to inexperienced staff. I can't believe after all the hype that this is what we are experiencing!

Pam Rose

We have a 2011 JAYCO 36REQS Pinnacle. Never regretted buying it. Can only recommend Jayco.

Re: Jayco Pinnacle fifth wheel

Peg1944

Like fifth wheels, like Jayco in general (we've had 2 of their RVs, both good) and the Eagle in particular. Our floorplan is real nice love the main living area and the bedroom. This RV is better than our home.

buzzz

This is cool but I've never had a 5th wheel they look really difficult to tow and travel with. All my experience is with travel trailers, is there really a difference in handling and towing?

Kim

We recently purchased our Skylark and drove from BC down the Oregon Coast. We love it, although we are very conscientous of what we put in it, which is actually a good thing as I brought to much in the past. The only comment is where to put a bike rack and what type. We have decided to secure them in the rail in our Nissan Frontier.

Steve Howard

I bought a new Jayco Swift in March of 2011. I have never pulled it anywhere except home from the dealer in Linn Creek Missouri. It leaked rain water all the way home from the front panels. Tony told me they forgot to caulk the seams inbetween the aluminum panels at the factory. Gimmie a break. These people could be the poster child for POOR customer service after the sale. I am still fighting with them.

Jon P

This is classy. Looks more like a class A inside. Jayco are a cool company and make a cool product.

Andy

Beautiful. I've good experience with Jayco. I had a Jayco Flight travel trailer for years. Going to look at this.

Re: Jayco Eagle travel trailer

ian nadler

We just purchased a 2011 Skylark.Interior space and floor plan are excellent. Really impressed by upper and lower storage. I am considering selling because it only has a single axle. Trade in value in my area is really low. I am afraid that c load tires might not be enough to carry this trailer safely. I really would appreciate all comment. As a plus, this is an absolute dream to tow.

Paul Barnes

There is another version of the eagle the superlite - but the models shown here are much better in my opinion (I sell them both)

Dane Goodwin

Kevin, I am at the factory and willspeak to someone about your issue with the Jay Flight. This is unusual for Jayco. Phone 870-334-2189. Dane - 3/21/2011

Re: Jayco Jay Flight Swift SLX travel trailer

Darrah

For those of you who have a Jayco Skylark, what are you towing it with?

Ross H

I've had 2 jaycos both good. Like something smaller and simpler. this looks good.

Re: Jayco Jay Flight Swift SLX travel trailer

nospam

is the Swift SLX wood or ALU framed? I see it has a wall AC like the KZ.

Re: Jayco Jay Flight Swift SLX travel trailer

Bill Bo

Unbelievable price - I've gotta see one!

Re: Jayco Jay Feather travel trailer

Armando and Meli

We have a 2007 30R Jay Feather. Great Trailer. We had a few problems that were covered under warranty during the first two years. We love the floor plan with the bunk beds in the back. We will not get rid of it until we decide to move into a Jayco motorhome for camping. Jayco makes good products.

Re: Jayco Jay Feather travel trailer

wayne

with all this snow should I be concerned about the weight on the roof?My 199 Jay feather has a cover - 1/30/2011

Claire

Love this trailer. So easy to tow. We're spending the winter in Arizona so we're living in it full time at the moment. Small but no problems.

Rita R.

I pulled the Skylark from Minneapolis to Ft. Myers with my 2010 Audi Q5. I had an anti-sway/equalizer hitch installed and the trip was effortless. Mpg was around 12-13 miles. I love the trailer, especially the European interior design. However, the material of which the wood-like cabinets are made is flimsy and hardly hold the screws. I had to fix several of them. I wish there were a shade or something over the door for privacy. I love the kitchen!

mary

Lynne - are thinking of selling the 2007 soon and where are you located and how much?

Carl

Love this trailer the interior is really beautiful, thinking about buying one. We had a Forest River V-Cross and the V front really does help towing.

susanj

We have had a Jay Feather 199 for 2 years. It is the ideal small trailer. We travel with 2 adults and 2 dogs, and never feel too crowded. The small slide makes the floor space useable. It has a queen bed and a sofa with table - no dinette - but this doesn't cause any problems. The trailer itself appears to be exceptionally sturdy. We'd recommend it without reservation - 11/14/2010

Lynne

We bought our Jayfeather Sport 165 new in 2007 and it's been great. It's so easy to tow with our Toyota Tundra that you hardly even notice you're towing anything. We're about to put it up for sale as we're going to purchase a motor home - but this has all the bells and whistles & is a great little trailer!

george thompson

Bought a new 2009 jayflight G2 25 ft travel trailer,love the floor plan,we have used it twice and on both occasions the water tank would siphon out while driving to our camp site(water tank empty) the company says I should install valves on the overflow pipes,it seems to me that type of defect should be the companies obligation,would appreciate feed back on this problem. thanks

Re: Jayco Embark class C diesel motorhome

JAMES BROWN

Very nice. I have a class c and we really enjoy it

Ginette & mike

Why we don't have some RV Seller who have some EMBARK RV for sale in Canada , because I would like to buy one but there's no RV dealer who have one?

Steve

I have a 2010 fifth wheel. We had a few issues with the slides. They would not open for a few days. They were in sleep mode. Called the factory and they advised what to do. I thought this problem was going to tie up our vacation but it was minor. Just tap the switches for the slide out and it works. No repair. Everything is excellent and we love it. This is the first Jayco that we owned. Use moth balls to avoid mice and wall sensor.

Fergusons

We love our Seneca, the few problems we have had, they have been very good at taking care of for us. Jayco seems to be a very good company that stands behind their products.

Reno

we bought a 2007 jay feather 197 from a private owner, it's hardly been used, perfect size for my family of 5, and all the goodies, air,heat,microwave, stove, fridge,hot h2o and shower..... what more would you want, I tow it with a Mitsubishi Outlander with no problems. Excellent craftsmanship, nice finish and detail

bll

Very nice, great styling. This should be an excellent trailer. I need just a little more room for 3 people. They was a piece of plywood under a cushion that was not cut to the right size that could cut a persons leg. I was very impressed with the overall package this unit offers. Make it a 24-26' with tandom wheels and you have a customer.

SJL

Has anyone kicked the tires on one of these babies? The Skylark looks really cool and towable by my Honda Pilot but I can't seem to find them within 200 miles of Sacramento or Reno

Nightwings

We have enjoyed our 232 5th wheel for nearly four years and a 17C EX-Port, which we just upgraded to the EXP 213. I'm wondering if there have been any problems with the bed slide outs? We got our new one home and the slide would stop about a foot from the full-out position. The mechanics worked on it for over an hour and may have found a problem with a weld in the geared rail that runs out the slide. The slide does go out a long way with quite a bit of weight on the connections with the rig.

Doug

I would be happier if this trailer had two axels and four tires to increase safety in the event of a blow out.

duce

oh how i would love to have one of these, very beautiful.

Heather

We have a 2010 Jayco Eagle 5th wheel. We are having a problem with mice and can't seem to get rid of them. Does anyone have any suggestions on how they might be coming in? We just purchased it in October and are sick that this is happening to something so new.

Chuck

We have a 2002 Quest 12A. My complaint is I've broken both leaf springs. Other than that, good trailer.

Darren

Have 07 senaca 35 gs,had to put in a 4 in body lift in rear,added 50 gal fresh water tank,beefed up rec.hitch,programmer for the duramax,now its ready,to bad the people @ jayco are not consumer friendly!

Bonnie Barker

Doesn't anybody build travel trailers that accommodate a 6'3" large man??? It's so frustrating getting excited about new rvs only to find out the beds are only 74" long! What are real people supposed to do if they want to go camping without buying a 40' Class A?

Graham I

I think this is really cool. Jayco always make good stuff and I'm looking forward to seeing this one.

Chuck and Lollie

We purchased a Melbourne 29D in 2007 and we've been extremely pleased with its overall quality and appearance. We downgraded from a Class "A" and have not regretted it. Only problem (self inflicted) left the stupid inverter on for a week and killed the coach and engine batteries. Jump started it and no problems since.

Re: Jayco Jay Flight G2-travel trailer

Pete V

We have the 2009 26A and we love it. Miss a dinette somewhat but don't really need it. A great product that has really improved our lives. It's our first RV so nothing to really compare but wouldn't want to be without it.

Anabel L

We have the 32BHDS and we love the floorplan and the better quality of the G2 after looking at as many floorplans of the Flight and G2 as we could find. The bunks, dinette and kitchen arrangements are perfect for our family. The only thing I would change is the main bedroom area could do with a bit more space. But all in all we love it and think it's worth the extra for the G2.

John364

I wonder what the real differences are between the Jay Flight and the G2. Need a dealer that stocks both I guess.

Hans

I had a Jay Flight until last year and we sold it because we moved west. Can only say good things about Jayco and the Jay Flight. Real value for money. Thinking of the 24RKS, like the rear kitchen arrangement.

Harry

I am thinking of getting the 22fb. They look great. I am wondering about pulling. I plan to use a Totota Tacoma V6 they are rated to 5000 lb. the new ones 6500 lb Will this be enough truck? Specs say it is but I'm noy sure? Thanks for input Harry

Harold

The Jayco Baja looks just like the StarCraft 36RT I have a 2008 model got all the Amenities of a large travel trailer. The front deck is large and has the ability to carry most items you would need for camping. Easy to pull with my Suburban even without sway bars. A little heavy for cars and small vans.

April

we had the 165 jay feather and we loved it but we found it a tad small so we went to the 213 jayfeather and its the perfect size for a small family. we are beyond happy with this trailor we have a few minor issues. One being on a really hot day we were running our air conditioner and the ceiling has bubbled all over . I was looking for others with this issue. We havent taken it in as of yet.

Rusty

We purchased a Jayco Melbourne 29D in February, 2009. We have almost 10,000 miles on it after seven months. We have had no major problems. The two lcd tv's bounce badly during travel and cannot be angled for proper viewing, so we replaced the mounts with quick disconnect models, and remove the TV's during travel. We have averaged 9 mpg-- ave speed about 65. This is our first RV of any kind, and we love it!

Re: Jayco Octane ZX toy hauler

RobitJ

I own a 2006 Baja and we are very happy with the precision everything is constructed with. It is a bit smaller than the 2010 but the front deck is great for hauling 'stuff'. We camp where there are no services and have to haul everything and the front deck is terrific. We do not use the inside shower as I set up one outside but everything else from the heat to the hot water, cassette toilet works like a charm. King bed on the front gives up plenty of space. We LOVE this trailer.

Raybo

looking at the T29M model with the big dinette and the loft area. meets everything we need I think.

Re: Jayco Precept class C motorhome

Ron M

I think the 2010 model is a big improvement. I like the dinette slideout and the longer deck at the front.

Doug Paul

Like it very much but wish they had more floorplans. Don't like the bed arrangement. Like access from the bed from both sides. But the quality and style looks typically Jayco and that's good, I think they're a quality company and make quality RVs. I'm looking thro RoTi for a C. I had a Jayco trailer that I was sorry I sold the next two weren't half as good.

Re: Jayco Eagle travel trailer

Paul Graves

We have a 2006 Jayco Eagle 314BHDS that we bought new. Got a good deal on it and we've never regretted it. The kids love the bunk arrangement and the floorplan in general really suits us. Jayco are a good company and this is a good product.

6 birds

How does the melbourne 29D handle Is it easy to turn into a city street driveway. Why aren't there many comments on this Class C

Re: Jayco Embark class C diesel motorhome

jay bird

need to know how a 29D which is actually 38'8'' drives with a 6.8V10.any additional info on the 29D

Roddy M

I've been thinking about this coach ever since I first read about it. I think it needs more floorplans. I really would like to see an arrangement with bunks. A great coach but not for my family.

Teery

I have a 2007 Seneca. Mainly happy with it but don't like the fact that the back end hits the drive when I back out. To be fair the drive has a big slope and it also happened with a Fleetwood I had. But mainly it's great. Like the floorplan VERY much and the handling is good. If I'd read this review before I bought it I would have gone for the one and a half bathroom arrangement. That really is cool you should feature it in the cool rvs section.

Boysie

An incedible site. Thanks.

2008 Jayco Eagle 351RLSA fifth wheel

Tori

We have the 2006 Eagle fifth wheel. This is our first fifth wheel and I've got to say Jayco is the way to go. Really nice layout and we've had very few problems. I'm a Jayco fan.

westcoastcop

We have the 2008 Jayco Eagle 351RLSA. This is our 5th new Jayco...and again we are pleased with the buying experience at the Dealer...and are yet again continue to be dazzled by the quality, workmanship and incredible attention to detail! And so many things not listed in the brochure are standard. Jayco's are built by a company that is still owned by the original family, 41 years ago. They aren't like some of the RV companies that make 30 different brands...Jayco just makes Jayco! They have a 2 year warranty that they actually have no restrictions on. Some manufacturers void your warranty if you full time or use it as a "residence"...not Jayco! And the double stacked structural steel frame instead of cheap flimsy aluminum frame. Real oak wood cabinets and drawers instead of particle wood used in other brands. Tinted Safety glass standard. About 20 items are standard on Jayco that are extra cost options on other brands. And Jayco uses name brand stuff on their RV's...not cheap crappy no-name appliances. Goodyear tires, Atwood heaters and water heaters, Sharp DVD TV's, Samsung microwaves, etc. And you'll find if you do happen to have problems (our last 4 Jaycos never had any issues!) the Jayco folks say that they treat their customers like family...and they DO! Jayco gets ***** 5 Stars for sure!

Trisha

We have a 2007 Melbourne. Nice motorhome like the arrangement. A few problems but taken care of. Jayco is a good company and makes a really nice class C.

Re: Jayco Jay Feather travel trailer

CB in Michigan

The 08 Geyhawk 31 SS is our first RV and we did our homework before buying. Jayco reputation is well earned with the features and value for $ they put into their products. 2 year warranty is the best as well. Dealer is even more important than manufacturer. Been extremely satisfied with the unit. You have to make sure the slide seals are properly set or you can get some rain leaks .... but not hard to do at all. 5 out of 5 rating

PWG

We bought a Jayco 25F..fully loaded...have hauled it everywhere...2 weeks at a time...Only size with 52 Gallon Grey Water...Replace the sofa with reclining love seat. No problems in two years...We just love it!

Cindy

We are looking at the Jay Series, the Coleman Cheyenne, and the Rockwood. Any suggestions? Pluses/Minuses? First time camper purchase.

Longing for Another Jayco

I had a Jayco Jay Feather 165 for 1 season and spent 60 nights in it. It was the perfect weekender. I miss my Jayco so much! In the process of trying to convince my wife to buy the Jayco 213. What a great layout and with baby #2 on the way it just makes sense.

MannaCandace

It's nice to see some options for full-time living in an RV .... makes me want to develop that 40 acre investment property now. We can get an RV up there - no way would a mobile home fit.

Mike

We would like to hear from anyone who has experience with a Jayco Jay Feather Sport 165. We've looked at a lot of small trailers to find one to replace our 2001 Thor Wanderer II hybrid (which we loved). We think the 165 may be the right one (size, weight, layout, amenities) to use with our F-150 V-8. Thanks.

Jen Burch

We have a 2006 Jay Flight. We looked at many trailers and finally found this with the right price and the right floorplan. The quality is excellent and all minor problems were taken care of. Jayco are great.

martin

I have only had my Jayco Jay Feather 197 in Colorado for one season and pull it with a Toyota 4Runner V8. So far I have zero complaints on mostly three day trips into the mountains. The u shaped seating is plus and for two people it is plenty of room using the book for storage as needed. The double axles provide a little extra mental security for me. A friend first bought a 197 and drove it from CT to Idaho and back this past summer with zero complaints.

Barbiedoll

We love Jayco. We have had 3 jayco trailers; a 96n26 ft, a a designer 35 ft at a permanent summer campsite, and finally, an older 95 pop up we bought to run around in Wy and Mt. it even had a gas heater, and when we got caught in a surprize snow in Utah in Oct, we actually used the heater. We survived amidst the 40 ft Motorhomes. This looks good. Go jayco.

2009 Jayco Melbourne 29D class C

John A

This is real value for money. Jayco make great RVs and how can you go wrong for the price?

Ken and Penny Romford

Jayco class Cs are the way to go. We traded our class A for a 2009 Jayco Melbourne 29D class C and so far I think it's one of the best things we've done! 3 slides and I really think it has everything we've ever had before and we've had 3 A's and one B. Our last A was diesel (Fleetwood), it was really good but I think the Ford Triton gas engine in the Melbourne is remarkable. We've been up and down really steep climbs with no problems whatsoever. Recommend Jayco.

2008 Jayco Jay Flight

Jennie Dubner

We've had 3 Jayco's. We had a 99 Designer, a 2003 Kiwi and now we have a 2008 Jay Flight. All quality. I recommend Jayco and wouldn't buy anything else.

1978 Jayco motorhome parts

Headbanger!

I recently bought a 1978 22.7' motorhome and I am really disappointed that you can only buy parts from dealers and there is only 1 in colordo! What kind of service is this? Why do they not sell parts direct to save customers money...all dealers are crooks period! They charge 4X more for the cheapest parts...oh well, my choice to buy or not.
