Jayco Eagle Vs Winnebago
Hello everyone, I know these "which one is better?" questions are annoying....but hearing input by those that already own them really is valuable when trying to make a $25K decision. Anyway, ...

I really like my Jayco, and in looking at the floorplans of the two, the decision would likely come down to a couple of things.
How many people will you sleep regularly? The jackknnife sofa in my Jayco is hard to sleep on - the seat area is fairly firm and the back area is very squishy, so you end up being rolled from higher squishy to lower firm as you try to sleep. Also I would rather not have someone sleep in LR regularly. Winnibago appears to sleep more, so if you need the beds, I would go with it. If you have folks sleeping in LR on regular basis, your Master bedroom is less private and you have to walk past where others are sleeping to go to bathroom. May not be an issue for you, but it was for me.
I do like that it appears the Jayco has bedside tables below wardrobe cabinets at head of Master bed. As I look for what I may full time in, I will not consider one that doesn't have a bedside table/shelf. I gotta have somewhere for my glasses, my cell phone and my key fob with panic button. This is partially because I travel alone, but I have become accustomed to these things being handy and want them to continue being handy.
You have to decide what is important to you.
