KZ Connect C312BHK vs Jayco Jay Flight 32BHDS

We are looking to upgrade our current camper to a larger bunkhouse. We have narrowed it down the kz or jayco right now and would like to get some opinions on the two. If anyone owns either one, what are some of the things they like about it? Also, if anyone wants to share their thoughts on which one they would choose over the other that would be great.

Thanks
  • The jcube sofa in the bunkhouse in the Jayco seems way more practical than the dinette in the KZ. The extra cabinet over the main sofa seems like a big win for the Jayco as well. If you do any boondocking the extra big tanks on the Jayco are another plus, likewise if you have anyone tall the 3" of extra headroom is nice. The big question is do you have enough truck to pull 12-1,300 pounds of tongue weight?
  • Don't own either model but have owned both brands. IME, Jaycos customer service leave A LOT to be desired.
    KZ's customer has been EXCELLENT.
  • Jayco has the superior BAL Ultraframe compared to what KZ uses and is what would be the deciding factor for me.

    Our KZ dealer has to be the worst dealer imaginable (won't go into details). Bad dealers aren't unique to any particular brand. It's always a good idea to find out what you can about a local one before committing to a purchase because a bad one can turn the best RVs out there into a nightmare.

    Don't forget that KZ and Jayco are both now owned by Thor Industries. You can choose between a Thor RV and a Thor RV... :)
