Jayco eagle HT 27.5 RLTS
We have been looking for a new 5 wheel and have been considering the Jayco Eagle HT 27.5 RLTS. Anyone have an Eagle HT and can shed any light. As always thanks for your input.

The leak was from a screw that had not been seeded properly near the top. It was fixed & noted by Jayco. I have NOT seen any trace of damage. Also, we had some minor warranty work that was taken care of by Jayco. I do plan to have one more round of warranty repairs complete before my warranty runs out at the end of Dec. 2016. All are minor. Grey tank sensor not working, shower door a little sag, metal plate holds couch in place is broke.
As far as the unit we love it. Kids sleep in living room (holds blow up queen & son sleeps on cot). She easy to hook up, set up & break down to leave. I did go back & got my dealership to add a 2nd a/c. Best $900-1000 I have spent. I do empty the black tank each day but we could go 3 days without dumping. Shower tank we hold about 4 normal showers. I do not dry camp so it is fine with me.
Improvements I would like to see:
Only 2 led lights at main light switch (I think newer models have more), table took up too much room so we took it out, more outside storage. I added a storage rack city n back (hitch receiver) and a sturdy black box to hold sewer hoses, water hoses, wheel blocks...etc and it works very well.
I would buy the unit over again.
Thanks for chiming in; hadn't heard the final fix for your leak issue. I think that in '16 they changed to all LEDs throughout. One thing that is just a total numbskull job was that they placed the external speakers on the =slide= instead of under the awning. Don't know about you, but I'm not sitting in the sun to listen to my music, but under the awning. The '16-17's now have the speakers under the awning, where it should have been in the first place. Sorta like the idiot at GM that decided that us drivers aren't smart enough to properly use an OD cutoff, or otherwise manually select 4th, on our 5-speed Allison transmissions...
Gotta ask; did you ever see the underside of your rig with the coroplast removed, while it was being worked on? Would love to know how much room there is around the black tank for a possible replacement. Jayco is =very= reticent about sharing schematics and I have yet to find a dealer service dept. that will.
