Airstreams are not infallible but....they are pretty well built. As for the 7 hour jayco build, here is the video from the Jayco factory. Quantity over quality! It's your money...spend it how you like.
Jayco built in 7 Hours
Personally, I don't see the problem. Ours have been well built and have given us years of good service. Airstream produces over 2000 trailers alone each year from their facility in Ohio. Not sure how 400 hours each adds up to that amount but that's not my claim. The ones we looked at at our local dealership didn't reflect such attention to detail. They appeared to be slapped together like the rest of them. Yet people will deny their faults like a cult following. Maybe with both Airstream and Jayco being owned by Thor, quantity over quality is shared by both. Have no doubt, I'd like to have one and we can afford one but, it's not about quality, roominess, comfort, longevity or function. Like Jaquars and Harleys, the allure is completely impractical. After all, it's a travel trailer, not a luxury yacht. The whole concept of a $140,000 30' long no slide "travel trailer" seems ludicrous.
