Hey Gang,Just starting to do my homework. I have a Rockwood dealer not far from my Jayco dealer. Both are a haul should I need any warranty work. My closest dealer is Camping World (shudder) and a Coachman dealer (most folks seem to push me to Jayco or Rockwood).I've only owned Jayco trailers in the past and my dealer is excellent. However, its good to look at the competition. Does Forest River build a better product than Jayco/Thor?

Hopefully Jayco still has the 2 year bumper to bumper warranty. One question I might consider does Rockwood have the same.Mike

Jayco does still maintain the 2 year warranty.

The Jayco X20E hybrid in my sig is our second one. The first was an '03 Kiwi 17a that we bought new and owned for 10 years. Both have been great trailers the only issues being minor fit and finish issues that I fixed myself. Otherwise very solid. I don't personally know anyone with a Roo but I've rarely heard anything negative about them. You may want to look just to compare floor plans and features. Rockwood has an interesting warranty: 1. Twelve-year vinyl roof warranty, 2. Two-year fiberglass warranty, 3. Five-year axle warranty, 4. Five-year tent warranty, 5. One-year bumper to bumper warranty, 6. Available second-year warranty. That alone would make looking worth while. Keep in mind that already having an excellent dealer that you know and trust would make the decision for me. It's why we've bought 3 trailers from our dealer and didn't even look elsewhere.

Hi I'd go with rockwood/flagstaff hybrids Over Jayco Jayco for years sells the 23b and we have attacked that line. For pups it's old Jayco Jay series over any year forest fiver pup. Those days for Jayco pups are history now.

Both companies have great hybrid. We chose the Roo 23ws because of the private room in the back. No one makes an hybrid similar to the 23ws.As for guarantees, we never took an extended one, because of where we live. In Maine, our camping season is five months a year at the most. For seven months, the camper is sleeping under its blanket. So for us, it is pointless to take an extended guarantee since our hybrid doesn't move for a good part of the year.
