Newbies fixing to purchase an RV

In all our research and such we have narrowed it down to possibly getting a Jayco Alante 26X model.Does anyone know if Jayco makes a good quality RV? and has anybody have any issues with them so far as these are pretty new models?Any help/reviews would be helpful.Thanks

  • IMHO, you can always tell a good quality RV by looking at the outside seams and paying attention to quality inside and outside of a RV. Compare the seams of the Jayco to other competition of RV's.

    Since you are buying a Jayco, your next thread might be "Newbies Fixing a Purchased RV."

    I hope you get a good one-

  • Neighbors had one and loved it. They had moved from a 10' slide-in to a Class B and only did two trips in the "B" before they traded it for the Greyhawk. They we almost always away when the airline hostess wife wasn't flying. That rig was well used.

    They moved about 120 miles away about 5 years ago after buying a restoration house project and lived in the Greyhawk at the house while working on the restoration. Unfortunately, the husband (a Vietnam vet) died from the effects of Agent Orange before the resto was finished and we lost touch with his wife.
  • We loved our 13 greyhawk and now moved up to a Tiffin, class A. I hear that the company was just sold to Thor, and some folks think that things will slide down hill slowly, but I am not sure that it's accurate. The 2 year warranty was a great deal for us, although we didn't need it much. Look on the Jayco forum, as I read some specific complaints about that model, but take everything with a grain of salt. Good luck!
