Jayco Class A's

For those of you who have a Precept has the smaller sized gray tank been a problem?
We are beginning to look at Class A's for a future upgrade from our "C" and have the Precept 31UL on our short list but the small sized gray tank is a major drawback for me.

It's the only coach I know of where the gray tank is smaller than the black tank.

Any tips as to what I need to be on the look out for
Like the layout can't wait to get it and get Rv ing
But it seems like most everybody has some sort of complaint about the crafted ship of their unit be it an entry level or high end

I'm sure you've heard this before, but I'll say it anyway:

Any time you're buying an RV, you need to take the time, before driving away with it, to test out and make sure ALL systems are working to your satisfaction. Much easier to get issues addressed/fixed now while you have the full attention of the RV dealer and their service department.

Yes, check everything, even the things you don't think about, won't typically use for a while. Make them show you that everything works, and how it works - generator, hydraulic jacks, air conditioners, furnace, electrical system components (converters, inverters, etc), water pump, holding tanks, drain valves, stove, oven, microwave, TVs, TV antenna.....That list goes on and on, but you get the idea. Much better to identify and get issues addressed now, than when you're out camping somewhere.

Ayway, congrats on the new unit, I think you'll like it. The Jayco Class A units look nice, they offer some nice features that few other manufacturers do. And, they have 'bout the best warranty you can find anywhere with RVs, too (2 years - most others are only 1 year).

Craftsmanship of their unit

Hate autocorrect!!

We purchased a used 2014 Jayco Precept 31 UL this spring. Overall happy with it. Its just hard to understand why we pay so much and get so little from RV manufactures, quality is just not a high a priority, the best you can find is a 2 yr warranty, for upwards of 80K it should be 5 yr minimum. :(
Like the 31 UL's floor plan, has everything we need/want in 32'. We do mostly state parks where you fill your fresh tank and we stay in the site Fri-Mon with only electricity. So the first major change will be replacing the Not so instant and not so hot water heater with a 6 gal tank water heater est cost installed $1200. Now that the alignment and handling were tweaked it has road manners, and we have made up our minds to give it our best effort to see the odometer turn 100k. In short, there are coaches/manufactures with far more issues than the Jayco. LOL guess its like voting, choose the least offensive.

Thanks...found the thread and passed it on.

The Precept model line was introduced in 2014.

I never knew Jayco made Class A's until I realized they haven't. I think it would be difficult to get opinions since they appear to be new for 2016. Perhaps someone here has bought a new one this summer... but wouldn't have much experience with it yet.

That said, they've been making trailers for a long time so that side of it should be good... for the most part.
