Starcraft is building this, for themselves and Jayco. I've been looking at the A-frame model at Jayco's factory showroom each time I pass through the area, most recently early September, and before that, late July.
I'm finding the finish to be a bit rough. Concerns I've had include uneven or excessive gaps in fit of furnishings to the body, powder-coated metal parts with bare metal where something has been filed or ground away to adjust fit, and sharp edges where I will need to handle something or brush against it.
The competition here in A-frame popups is Forest River in the lower price ranges, and A-liner and Chalet brands the traditional suppliers. I was looking at Forest River's Rockwood line in 2012, remember the finish being better than Jayco's, but that dealer had an A-liner trade-in on the lot that looked a lot better than the Rockwood.
In tent-end models, I've usually liked Jayco's J-Series and Sport over the more lightly constructed examples I've seen from Forest River.
But I think the Starcraft plant needs more attention to detail in the product. An example selected for showroom display should not be roughly finished, unless that means it is the best they can do. The Australian Jayco, if finishing and furnishing these for that market, may take care of some of the detail issues.
What you are getting, with leaf springs, would be sold as J-Series Sport here, their most basic cold-water model. You can get construction details, download a brochure at the
U.S. Jayco website.
