Is JAYCO a good one ?

Refer to www.rv.org for their ratings and pay attention to what owners state is WRONG with their rigs.

We have a 2003 Granite Ridge 3100ss motorhome that still looks close to new inside and out, so I feel it has stood the test of time a bit. Inside has solid cabinets, drawers and counter top. Nothing looks worn. So far nothing has gone wrong or needed to be replaced. I keep fingers crossed. Only problem we have had is low CCC rating, so we need to be careful how much stuff we carry. I do tow a 16 foot boat with it and have had no problems with power or keeping up with traffic. Most of our use is dry camping 100 miles from home, we camp year round 12 to 15 times a year, so gets a lot of use in the living area but not a ton of miles. We have had 4 motorhomes over the years and the Jayco is the nicest. We do keep it under a carport and this I'm sure has alot to do with the condition of the exterior.

I have been shopping some and thought I would ask an RV. Community a few questions.
I will be traveling alone so thought a JAYCO MELBORNE 29D would be enough room for me and a couple Rat Terriers.
So if you were a first time buyer traveling alone what would you buy, I don't have anything heavy to haul, me 2 Terriers and a few old Martin guitars.

Jayco is in the middle of the market, definitely not lower-middle market. We did a lot of research before buying one. They do have one of the best, if not the best, warranties available.

As I have said many times when we compared units before we bought we spent alot of time narrowing our selection to Forest River, Winnebago, and Jayco. We then narrowed to just Winnebago and Jayco. I think we would have been happy with either of these but the Jayco was many thousands of dollars less expensive.

I have a Jayco 26DS Class C and travel alone frequently. It has always been reliable. I have owned it for three years now.

Welcome to the forum.
I know nothing about class c's at all but have had Jayco TT and found them to be quite well built and my last 2009 Jayco held up very well for me.

Based on what I have seen and read I, personally, would put Jayco lower middle market.
