I don't want to wear out my welcome on the C Forum, but all of your responses have been so helpful. My head is spinning. The more I research, the more confused I get. One website touts Jayco as wo...

We are on our second Jayco. The first was a used Pop-up camper. We bought it when it was 9 years old. It was in great shape and seemed to hold up well. We had it for a year before upgrading to the Hybrid TT. We went with a Forest River product and were very disappointed.
When we upgraded to the Class C we decided to go back to Jayco. We liked the 2 year warranty and really liked the floor plan of the 31 FS. We bought a 2009 31 FS new. We had a few warranty issues, but only two were Jayco issues: the shower door (which was hung off level) and the carpeting on the bedroom slide.
Compared how other people talk about the ride in their Class C, I think our Jayco handles like a dream. It doesn't drive like a sports car, but I can easily drive it for 12 hours at a straight in comfort.
Build quality is decent. I've noticed a screw missing here and there, but we haven't had any major failures. One problem we are having that is a little alarming is the living room wall at the bottom of the slide. There is no support at the bottom edge of the slide and it has caused the wall to crack about 2 inches long. There's no real repair because there is nothing there to support it. All I can do is cover the crack and keep an eye on it.
We love our floor plan, even though the kids don't use the bunk beds anymore. Most likely we'll keep the Greyhawk until the kids leave the nest and then we'll upgrade to a Class A. Jayco's Class A lineup isn't all that impressive, but if the floor plan is right we wouldn't have any hesitation buying another Jayco.
