  • I have a 2010 Jayco 31.5 RLDS bought new in March 2011 and have camped in it 444 nights and towed it 18,239 miles. I have had just a few issues with it, mostly minor but one a bit more expensive that being the main slide wiper seal came off and had to be replaced this past spring. The propane tank pig tails had to be replaced the second year due to the high flow valve getting stuck and not allowing propane to flow. There are a few other issues that are so minor I can't even remember what they were. A year and a half ago I replaced all tires, not because there were issues only because the tires were more than 5 years old. This past spring I had the wheel bearings checked and re-packed for the first time in 5 years. The mechanic said they looked perfect and had plenty of grease when he took them off. He re-packed and reassembled. Two years ago I had the wheel alignment checked. Slightly out of alignment but he said not bad and adjusted them accordingly. By the way, he said many guys have alignment check done as part of normal annual maintenance. Could just be a ploy to get customers in the door but could be true. The thing tows very excellent down the road, never any chucking unless the road conditions suck which is the case in many places in the U.S. The only other thing I can think of is that I found that the threaded drain fittings weren't tightened enough and the kitchen sink drain leaked water into the lower cabinet. Once I tightened them all up no issues since.

    I'm sitting here racking my brain trying to remember if we've had any other issues and I just can't remember any and it's not because I have Alzheimer's it's because there really haven't been many issues.

    In conclusion I've been very happy with this rig.
