Broken Shower! Happened to You????

Spoke with dealer and they said they will not be able to get the part until sometime in December. We are scheduled to leave December 18th for a trip to St.Louis. This is crazy. What kind of dealer network does Jayco have? Can we "swing" by the factory on our way to St. Louis and get it fixed? Discouraged!

When we bought out 2012 HT 26.5 RLS, it was noted in the manual that this FW was not to be used for full-timing. However, the higher price/quality FWs have no such restriction, like the Pinnacle or the North Point.

Two weeks.....time to make a call.

Good Luck.

Still waiting for answer from repair shop. We sent them pictures to send to Jayco. Monday will be two weeks.

Just had a repair made to our 2014 Open Range with the same issue. Turns out that the drain pipe was just a wee bit too high into the shower causing an upward force on the drain so that when you stepped into the shower your body weight was pushing down against the drain. Eventually the shower floor pan cracked right at the drain.

There's a valid, IMO, argument that sitting for only 3 months doesn't constitute "full time". Also, how much damage does moving the rig cause vs sitting still for 3 months?

Many fifth wheel owners and RVers in general full-time in their respective RV's. Of course, the manufacturers know this. They ought to place a clearly visible sign on each RV in their lot stating,"Not for use as full time home"Their refusal to honor a warranty to full-timers shows me their lack of faith in the quality of their products (of course, they could build 'em better but that would add to the cost). I lived fulltime in a Hitchhiker fiver and don't recall reading any warranty restrictions on full-timers. Fortunately, I had no warranty claims during the approx. 8 yrs I owned it.

That right there is a good reason to stay away from a Jayco, used part or full time should never matter for warranty, weekend warriors can sometimes be more destructive vs a old full timer..

Nope. Never happened to my shower. Remained in perfect shape for the 8 yrs I used it. Hopefully, warranty will cover yours ( I think it ought to).
