12 years even for a "Jayco RV" (the largest volume non-corporate owned RV manufacturer in the world by far and has been making RV's for 47 years now, 1968-2015), and Jayco which is not a so called "high end" RV, 12 years isn't a long time nor a failed RV unit ready for the junk yard.
The average age of the Jayco RV's still in service today is 16.6 years according to an RVIA study done in 2014. Mind you that this is the "average age" of all the RV the manufacturer had built and sold. Some RV manufactures really cut corners in their RV's frames and build and some do not and have not.
Then there's the owners who actually maintain their RV's and some that do not! Makes sense to expect a high end RV last in good condition for well over 12 or even 24 years if maintained reasonably.
BTW, I do NOT own a Jayco RV so I do not have a dog in the fight...
Buy cheap, get cheap! Then complain when it has issues and guess who made the decision to buy that RV in the first place? DUH!!!
