We had a 2014 31UL Precept, might have been their first year. Loved the floorplan, and interior storage.
With that one the kitchen drawer slide was always moving while driving, freaked the dogs out and I feared it would damage itself. Finally secured it with hooks and eyelets, not pretty but worked.
I believe Jayco now uses a bigger chassis, want to say 2014 was 22k GVWR so even with 3 bays empty we were over weight every time we weighed it with full fuel and water.
Finally traded it for an older diesel pusher that at present fully loaded we are 3k lbs below max GVWR.
Look for a newer Jayco and realize that 2000 lb carrying capacity is quickly eaten up with 2 adults, a dog or 2, full fuel, water, and provisions, leaves very little for screen house, grill, chairs etc. Hope this is helpful.
Enjoy the hunt for that motorhome.
