Our first trailer, bought in 2003, was a new Jayco 26BH, so we had nothing to compare it to. I pretty much made the decision based on all the positive reviews and asking the exact same question on this board 12 years ago. We then sold that trailer in the early Spring of 2008, when the economy was booming, for $2000 more than we paid for it. Of course, we take exceptional good care of our things, and had added quite a few accessories, but we definitely couldn't complain the trailer didn't hold its value after 5 years. Our next trailer was a 2008 Stellar Toyhauler, purchased used, but like new, in 2008. We sold that trailer for $6000 less than we paid for it 6 years later. Not too bad I guess in this economy. Now, we've decided to go to a fifth-wheel, and we didn't even hesitate with which brand, we loved our Jayco. Maybe because it was our first? I'm sure that has something to do with it, but comparing it to the Stellar, or other trailers in the family, we prefer the product Jayco puts out. So, the new trailer's ordered. We're scheduled to head to Iowa the first week of June, as soon as the kids are out of school to pick it up. I don't know who's more excited, my wife and I, or the kids.

Our experience with our 36REQS is that the fit and finish of the "Amish"built cabinetry could be much better for a unit with a msrp of $72k. We live in the desert and had wood splitting issues on the dining table, entertainment unit and an overhead light support. Jayco warranty fixed the big issues but the fit and finish remains as we received it. On a scale of 1-10 I rate The 2011 Pinnacle a 7.

We are on our second Jayco as well. Bought an Eagle 215SD, about 24' long in 1993 and got 18 years of good service out of it. When we thought about traveling more with a trailer, we decided to get rid of it and bought a Jayco Eagle SuperLite HT 26.5 RLS and have been pretty happy with it so far. Lots more room and very easy to tow. Had a little warranty problem with the front cap cracking by the running light, but Jayco replaced the whole cap. Unfortunately, we hit something with it last summer and had to have it replaced again, not Jayco's fault this time. Overall we like this FW very much.

Mine will be twenty years old next year. Nothing more than normal maintenance has been done to it. Still works great.

I have owned a 2005 Designer, a 2009 Designer and currently own a 2012 36 REQS Pinnacle loaded with all options. Jayco are a terrific corporation. They stand behind their product with a great two year warranty and have treated me exceptionally well in all aspects. I am in the process of selling my unit right now and can assure you that my next one will be a Jayco product.I have recommended Jayco to friends and they have also purchased their products and are tottaly happy.If you ever get to Middlebury Ind, do yourself a favour and take the factory tour as we did and you will see the commitment that all the employees and staff have to customer satisfaction.

I don't think you can go wrong with a Jayco.
If it has been taken care of.

We bought a 2004 Designer 29rlts.
A great unit pulled it 100,000 miles.
No leaks.
Had one slide that broke.
It served us will.

We now have a 2014 Cedar Creek 36ckts.
It has been back to the dealer for things that had to be replaced.
But really like the unit hope to pull is 100,000 miles also.

We did not get a new Jayco because of floor plans.

We have a 2010 321RLTS and very well pleased.Its hard to beat that 2 year Jayco warranty.
Only issue was a slide motor in the 2nd year and fixed by Jayco.Would buy another Jayco.

I have been in my 2010 Designer full time since August 2010. A few shake down type issues, but all have been resolved by my dealer. The most recent was a failure of my Norcold refrigerator. You can't blame that on Jayco, but their extended warranty paid for a new one.

We are on our second Jayco, had a 2005 Jayco Eagle that was a great 5th Wheel, now have a 2011 Jayco Pinnacle that has been a very solid reliable unit.
Will look at Jayco next time we need a 5th Wheel.

Picking up #3 tomorrow - all bought from the same dealer. We've been to the factory twice, once for some user induced damage repair (don't forget to shut the water off) then again last month for a factory tour. Every time, we've felt like they listen and care.

We owned a 2008 Jayco Eagle TT for 4 years and never had one single problem with it. When we went shopping for a 5th wheel Jayco was the first we looked at. If they would've had a floor plan that met our needs/wants list we would've bought another Jayco.

Mine is 10 yrs old having bought it used 6 yrs ago. Haven't had any problems with it. Still solid. Just the usual regular maintenance. Will look at Jayco again when its time to move on.
