Jayco travel trailers and fivers
Finally had an opportunity to check out some Jayco models. I looked at a White Hawk, a Jay Flight, and an Eagle trailer, then looked at HT and Touring models in the fifth wheels. Gotta say they all ...

We had a Jayco Eagle 322FKS that we traded in. Reason: DELAMINATION in the walls.
We had a mold issue around the exterior doors due to the fact Jayco didn't insulate around the aluminum frames. I had to clean etc.. the area and then foam insulate it. We had electrical shorts while on a trip. Lost half our power till we got back. Never did like the idea that Jayco uses wood trusses in the roof- too prone to rot and heavy weight. Wife always complained about the walls with all the staples. After each season I had to retighten all the electrical connections on the main circuit breaker panel.
Good luck with your choice.
Delamination can occur in any fiberglass sided RV from a $15K Jayco to a $150K motorhome.
I'm not sure how a lack of insulation led to mold...
What caused your electrical shorts? It seems awfully odd to me that you would have to "retighten all the electrical connections" after every season. Something is MAJORLY wrong...
Not sure about your complaints about wood trusses. I think the overwhelming majority of manufacturers use wood in the roof. Rot will almost NEVER occur without water intrusion. If you have water intrusion you have problems regardless of whether or not you have a wood trussed roof.
Staples in the walls... how else are the wall panels attached in other RV's?
Sorry you didn't like YOUR Jayco, but your complaints seem to be with the entire travel trailer industry, not with Jayco...
