question about starcraft
I think that starcraft is owned by jayco, if so are they the same quality as the jayco's.i.e design, materials. Workmanship?

That is true from what i have read on this site any rv weather entry level or top of the line motor home costing a small fortune, can have problems, that is what makes rv.net so helpfull when looking it is easy to ask evryone and see what problems if any others had with their version of the same make model, one is looking at.
IIRC, Starcraft and the other brands in the parent company had some plant shifts in the past few years. I think Starcrafts were being built in another plant but then returned to their own factory. I hope I have that right but that may kind of skew the history of quality over the past few model years.
A person that was thinking of buying a Starcraft could call the National Customer Service number and get detailed information about all of the above. I've called them and found that their customer service was a cut above what's usually the case. For example, a five minute conversation netted me the owner's manual and brochures emailed to me for my '71 Starcraft within minutes.
Westend: For awhile (during the depths of the resession) Starcraft units (at least many if not all of them) were in fact being built in Jayco's factories alongside their cousins. (According to a Factory rep I spoke with at a RV show here in Ohio last year.) As far as I know that is no longer the case and both are now operating in their own facilities again.
