I've owned 5 truck campers (still have an Alpine 11') and two travel trailers. In 98 we bought a brand new Arctic Fox travel trailer and then in 2008 bought a Forest River Wildcat which we still have. Of all the rigs we've owned, all but the current Forest River Wildcat have suffered from dry rot or delamanation to one degree or another. Things happen.
Really, most RV's are made the same way. They all have the same components on the inside. Warranties are mostly worthless in my opinion, the major catastrophic failures seem to happen beyond the years of coverage.
I've been around these forums for years now and I can't ever recall some bashing Jayco, though I do recall some serious issues with some lightweight models. Do your homework, good luck with your purchase, and if at all possible, build a carport for your investment. All the best. Hans
