the cable system has been unreliable since it was introduced in the 1980's and still is. Think about it...if it is built correctly you should not need to carry cable repair kits with you. Manufacturers are using it for lower weight and cost....its that simple. Also unless a design change has been don OR uses 1/2 inch non t&g plywood for the floors. I was not impressed with them when I toured the factory. That being said any company can build a bad rig....your experience is only as good as the dealer.
The reason you carry a kit is because they are simple enough to fix, however without the kit you are going to be dead in the water. You may even get your RV to a dealer that also may not have a kit.
You could easily find yourself stuck for days waiting for a kit. As I mentioned the kits are available on Amazon.
As to construction Jayco use 2"x3" wood joist on 16" centers with 5/8 T&G plywood vs. OR's metal joist 12" OC with 1/2 plywood.
We could debate all day long which technique is better. But in the end they a relatively equal with no clear cut winner.
