Voltage, momentum, or seismic

What would you choose and why? I have the opportunity to buy a used 2016 voltage with full body paint. I originally wanted the grand design momentum or the jayco seismic. I have liked the voltages though. What is the quality like on the voltage? They look good but beyond that how are they?

    Excellent article on the Grand Design Ramgunner!!

    GD hands down because of the slide mechanisms. Too many bad reports of swin-tec systems which both Voltage and Seismic have, screwing up.


    Have read bad reports on the GD also.. We fell in love with GD and that was our pick, but after more research, ( almost a year), we ended up with Jayco...So "hands down" is assuming WAYYY to much... I'd say more like, pick which one you want with the best 2 yr warranty...GD is awesome...so is the Jayco.. I've seen and read good and bad on both...guess we'll find out from our own actual, personal experiences....and report back:)

  • I looked at all three, really liked the GD, but ended up with the Seismic...and that's the FIRST Jayco I've owned in a VERY long time, (first being a pop up). I like their 2 yr warranty and this particular dealership...i like the floor plan and it'll be the our "retirement" camper:)

  • I love my seismic. I honestly didn't even look at the others you mentioned as this is my 4th Jayco and I saw no reason to switch manufacturers. Can't speak to the differences, but I can speak to the quality of the Seismic. Fit and finish is excellent, components are top tier, and the warranty is the best in the business.
  • My Voltage had some issues when we bought it in 2011 but that was the first year for the model. Our dealer was very good and the factory was supportive so everything was fixed to our satisfaction. The only issue we've had since was that the WFCO converter went out, but WFCO sent me a new one no charge under 2-year warranty.
