Jayco has a good reputation and one of the few that have a 2 year warranty as standard. I owned a Jayco for 12 years. I now own an Aerolite and I am satisfied with it. I would have considered a Jayco but the Aerolite checked all the boxes for me at the price I was willing to pay for it.
In my opinion there is no such thing as rank in quality of brands. I don't really think there is a whole lot of difference from one brand to the next. I do think however, that each brand has different lineups. Some that they produce as cheaper ones, and some they produce as better quality ones. You're more or less (may not always be true) going to get what you pay for.
I would advise you get your blue jeans dirty. Crawl under, over, pull out drawers and look behind them, stick your head in holes it don't fit into, and examine every nook and cranny before you buy. Determine the relative quality for the price for yourself between different RV 's. Make your own comparison between different brands and different lines. This process should take you a couple of months. Determine for yourself exactly what you're getting for your money. Once they got your money it's too late to decide you could have done better.
I shopped for over a year before I bought mine.
