I guess I should add this. Back in 2008, I bought a Jay Flight 19BH from a dealer that had a very poor service department. They had only 1 service tech who didn't know his --- from a hole in the wall. Had I known that initially, I wouldn't had bought from that dealer.
Anyhow, at that time in 2008, the whole industry was laying off or closing shop from the terrible economy in Elkhart county. The 19BH had some issues. It had a crack in the exterior door, bathroom door had some bad hinges, and windows wouldn't open without a fight. The service department tech literally did more damage than he fixed and even more so, when I had him add an automatic propane tank change over and a heat element in the A/C.
Jayco corporate bent over backwards to get this fixed for me at a dealer of my choice or their factory. I had them fix it at their factory. They made sure I was happy and everything was right with no dime out of my pocket.
Then I found my aluminum siding peeling. There was a recall on the siding that the dealer blew off and didn't do, so it went back to their factory again at my choosing and they fixed everything again with no problem and no dime out of my pocket.
Based just on that above, I would buy from them again. Add the added quality, added features, and inexpensive price, it makes it a no brainer in which brand I'd go with for another travel trailer.
I had an opposite experience with Forest River customer service which pretty much told me I was on my own after the selling dealer's service department damaged my floor (fixing a cabinet problem). I had many more problems with FR's lousy customer service but I could go on and don't have the time.
Jayco is just a stand up company with a stand up product!
By the way, a coworker who is a new apprentice under my wing has just bought a Jayco Jay Flight Swift 264BH (Budget based 26BH clone). While not having the features of the standard Jayco Jay Flight 26BH, he has the same opinion as I do and why he went with Jayco. He just loves his Jay Flight Swift.
