Jayco has a fairly good reputation, but all makers are putting out alot of trailers these days to meet the increased demand. So temper your expectations for perfection out of the gate. They all have warranties, and if you have a good dealer, he will take care of any problems promptly.

To ensure you get a good one, be sure to do a thorough inspection and get all problems corrected before you take delivery. Once you are out the door, especially during the busy spring buying season, you will most likely have to stand in line to get any issues addressed. Search thru these forums and you will see what I'm saying.
Good luck!
