Our Greyhawk 31FS has 2 slides that did not come with slide toppers. The only time we've had issues with the slides is when we forgot to sweep off the top of the slides (or missed debris). Although currently we do have a tear in the gasket on the living room slide that needs to be taken care of, but that isn't Jayco's fault. We've never had a leak when the slide was closed.
We had a few issues shortly after we first bought the motorhome new. The fuel pump failed in the generator within a month of purchase, the electric steps weren't functioning correctly and caused some other electrical issues, the carpeting on the bedroom slide was problematic, and the shower door wouldn't open properly.
The generator wasn't a Jayco issue. The step was wired wrong, the carpeting was just a poor design and the shower door was hung wrong; all of which were Jayco's issue. Instead of the carpeting wrapping from the floor of the slide down the leading edge, they carpeted the floor and then took a large strip of carpet and stapled it along the leading edge. The staples at the top came loose almost the entire length of the slide. The shower door was not hung level.
Those issues and a few others were handled in a timely manner (less than 10 days each time) at a Jayco dealer before the 2 year warranty ended. The shower door became a problem again this summer, so I just removed it and installed a rod and shower current. The carpeting started coming loose about a year ago, but it is just a small section and only noticeable when moving the slide, so I'm not worrying about it.
Overall we are satisfied with our Greyhawk. This is our 2nd Jayco, the first the pop-up in my signature was bought used. At 9 years old it was in great condition. Our Hybrid wasn't a Jayco only because we didn't have a local Jayco dealer that sold Hybrids. Our C drives great. It's no SUV, but I can drive for 12 hours in a day without a problem.
We would definitely buy another Jayco motorhome, but our next will probably be a Seneca. We just need more room and want to stick with a C for the cab over bed.
