Our experience with our 36REQS is that the fit and finish of the "Amish"built cabinetry could be much better for a unit with a msrp of $72k. We live in the desert and had wood splitting issues on the dining table, entertainment unit and an overhead light support. Jayco warranty fixed the big issues but the fit and finish remains as we received it. On a scale of 1-10 I rate The 2011 Pinnacle a 7.

No excuse for the fit and finish. You probably already know this, but in case you don't : living in the Phoenix area it's helpfull to keep a open water container inside the rig while it's being stored. We have 2 buckets, 1 in the kitchen sink and 1 in the shower, that we keep full of water. This really helps with things drying out, including anything glued like walll paper and cabinets.

Great reminder. We leave buckets in the house all summer while we are gone. Humidity is 5% today.

We did all the research and picked up a Jaco a couple of months ago. I'm very happy with our decision so far.

You beat me to it. :) Lots of good info there.

We bought ours used in 2010. Haven't had any issues with it. Quality seems to be good and it's just the right size for me, wife, & dogs. When/if we upgrade, a Jayco will be the first on our list to look at.

Our first trailer, bought in 2003, was a new Jayco 26BH, so we had nothing to compare it to. I pretty much made the decision based on all the positive reviews and asking the exact same question on this board 12 years ago. We then sold that trailer in the early Spring of 2008, when the economy was booming, for $2000 more than we paid for it. Of course, we take exceptional good care of our things, and had added quite a few accessories, but we definitely couldn't complain the trailer didn't hold its value after 5 years. Our next trailer was a 2008 Stellar Toyhauler, purchased used, but like new, in 2008. We sold that trailer for $6000 less than we paid for it 6 years later. Not too bad I guess in this economy. Now, we've decided to go to a fifth-wheel, and we didn't even hesitate with which brand, we loved our Jayco. Maybe because it was our first? I'm sure that has something to do with it, but comparing it to the Stellar, or other trailers in the family, we prefer the product Jayco puts out. So, the new trailer's ordered. We're scheduled to head to Iowa the first week of June, as soon as the kids are out of school to pick it up. I don't know who's more excited, my wife and I, or the kids.

We are on our second Jayco as well. Bought an Eagle 215SD, about 24' long in 1993 and got 18 years of good service out of it. When we thought about traveling more with a trailer, we decided to get rid of it and bought a Jayco Eagle SuperLite HT 26.5 RLS and have been pretty happy with it so far. Lots more room and very easy to tow. Had a little warranty problem with the front cap cracking by the running light, but Jayco replaced the whole cap. Unfortunately, we hit something with it last summer and had to have it replaced again, not Jayco's fault this time. Overall we like this FW very much.

Mine will be twenty years old next year. Nothing more than normal maintenance has been done to it. Still works great.

I have owned a 2005 Designer, a 2009 Designer and currently own a 2012 36 REQS Pinnacle loaded with all options. Jayco are a terrific corporation. They stand behind their product with a great two year warranty and have treated me exceptionally well in all aspects. I am in the process of selling my unit right now and can assure you that my next one will be a Jayco product.I have recommended Jayco to friends and they have also purchased their products and are tottaly happy.If you ever get to Middlebury Ind, do yourself a favour and take the factory tour as we did and you will see the commitment that all the employees and staff have to customer satisfaction.

I don't think you can go wrong with a Jayco.
If it has been taken care of.

We bought a 2004 Designer 29rlts.
A great unit pulled it 100,000 miles.
No leaks.
Had one slide that broke.
It served us will.

We now have a 2014 Cedar Creek 36ckts.
It has been back to the dealer for things that had to be replaced.
But really like the unit hope to pull is 100,000 miles also.

We did not get a new Jayco because of floor plans.
