Jayfeather hybrid floor issue
I saw a thread on the owners forum regarding floor issues where the luan, foam sandwich became soft from use not water infiltration. Has this been a problem with hybrids lately or just a bad batch? Th...

I have a 2011 X20E I believe the floor is the vacuum bonded luan/foam/luan sandwich floor as mentioned above.
I have not been totally happy with mine, first season had a seam pop on the roof. With in a 60 day period the front face of the trailer started to D-lam. ended up having whole front face of trailer replaced, luckily covered under the 2yr warringtee.
Found large entrance wholes under the floor deck that were not properly sealed by the factory. Mice came in and ate through one of my canvas ends. :M I have since patched under the floor deck and have not seen a return of any mice.
Lastly I have to re caulk about every 2 trips on the front bunk ends. flexing from driving and usage seems to "pull up the caulk". I have had to re-caulk the roof once and other areas too.
What this all means is....I'm not all that impressed with the quality of Jayco construction. I have MORE maintenance than I would like, and I have keep a CLOSE eye on my FLOOR. If I see just one sign of floor water damage I will be unloading the trailer.
FYI my first trailer had a floor failure, was a non Jayco but same style construction. I Just don't want to go through this again.
