5ver Comparison

We have a 2016 Jayco. Our best friends have a 2017 Grand Design. They have much classier or modern finishes if you will and a lot of nice creature comfort features. Our Jayco styling and decor does seem a bit dated compared to theirs. However, our Jayco has been rock-solid mechanically and Jayco seems to have a much better handle when it comes to getting things right for usability and functionality. Their GD has had plumbing leaks, falling trim, and a couple of “what were they thinking” design elements on the mechanical side. We’re both jealous of each other’s camper in some way, but neither would give up their own for the other. This is our 2nd Jayco and the 2nd GD for them and it has come down to dealer experience for us all. We never had any luck with their dealer of choice nor them with ours, honestly. Spend some time in both units at dealerships and shows, follow your instincts, and find a dealer you are comfortable with. One unit will eventually separate itself from the rest when all things are considered.
